Gegard Mousasi, the Bellator middleweight champion, has withdrawn from his Jan. 26 title defense against Rafael Lovato Jr. due to a back injury, sources told ESPN. It's unclear at this time how long he'll be sidelined.

The promotion and Lovato Jr. have yet to determine whether he'll remain on the card, sources told ESPN.

Mousasi (45-6-2) most recently defeated Rory MacDonald via second-round TKO in September. The win was his eighth in a row.

Lovato Jr. (9-0), a fourth-degree Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt, is coming off a third-round submission win over John Salter in September.

The event, which will take place The Forum in Inglewood, California, will be headlined by Ryan Bader versus Fedor Emelianenko for the vacant heavyweight title.

Sources: Mousasi (back) withdraws from fight

Honestly I think Mousasi would've destroyed him, but seeing old teammates and GOAT guys as main and co-main event would've been a life highlight.
If Pico gets taken off I'm plugging in a hose to my exhaust pipe.

I hope they pick up another good fight, like Schlemenko. That would be awesome.

Have you seen that thing?
It's got it's own time zone.
He steps on a scale it says "please weigh your dick separately"
It's great that he wants to practice safe sex and all, but I go to Harbor Freight Tools & they're always sold out of bungie cords and tarp.
He rides horses and they get horny.

This is all they have in Bellator? Gegard is about to get Askrened if this is the best they can do for him.

Mousasi asked for Lovato.
Mousasi also implements additional drug testing against his opponents.
He also asked for Rory.
They are treating him very well, and if he gets better, well, he might even be holding out for that Machida rematch he wants.

Personally I think it was too early for Lovato.

As to CLINTK9 @CLINTK9 's point, yeah, Vitor would be even better!
I've never met him so having Fefor, Vitor & Pico on the same card would be insane!
Then I'm done traveling for American MMA and setting up shop for a trip to Tokyo NYE 2019.

Thread started out talking about a fighter withdrawing.

Discussion turns to the fighters dick size.

Abort thread quickly...

He probably stepped on his own dick again. Dudes got a ball of yarn in that cup. Rolls down stairs like a slinky
