Rudy Schaffroth looks to have a new opponent for Bellator’s return to action this Friday.
After Steve Mowry announced he was out of his scheduled fight with Schaffroth due to a positive COVID-19 test, multiple people with knowledge of the promotion’s plans confirmed to MMA Fighting that Ras Hylton is the targeted opponent to step in on just three days’ notice at Bellator 242. The event takes place Friday night at Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, Conn.
A source told MMA Fighting that the fight has been agreed upon by both parties, but contracts have not been signed as of yet.
