This week’s marquee Bellator 200 event just suffered a fatal blow here at the final hour.
Scheduled to go down this Friday Night, Bellator 200 was set to feature a heavyweight rematch years in the making between Mirko Cro Cop and Roy “Big Country” Nelson.
Cro Cop was just forced out of the bout with an injury, and with little time to seek a replacement, Gegard Mousasi is expected to be bumped up to the headlining role.
