Heavyweight Mirko Cro Cop has been forced to withdraw from the headline event against Roy Nelson through "an undisclosed injury" at Bellator 200 at Wembley Arena on Friday night.

It was to be the Croatian's debut with the fight league.

The Croatian fight sports legend is understood to have suffered a leg injury and a replacement to face Nelson, the American heavyweight, is currently being sought by the fight league for the blockbuster card which includes the middleweight title fight featuring champion Michael Carvalho against Gegard Mousasi....
....
Ryan Grab, Senior Director of Communications & Athlete Strategy at Bellator MMA, confirmed the news to Telegraph Sport on Monday:

"Mirko Cro Cop has suffered an undisclosed injury and has been forced off the card, and we are looking at replacements, though for the time being Carvalho-Mousasi has been moved to the main event and British standout Michael 'Venom' Page against American David Rickels has been elevated up to the co-main event fight."

Mousasi/Carvalho is solid and should lead anway.
BIG blow though

I'd scrap it, move MVP vs Caveman Rickels to the co-main and bump Anatoly Tokov vs Vladimir Filipovic to the main card

This is the one that MMAHAWK @MMAHAWK was looking to come over here to watch and it would have cost a pretty penny to do it....how pissed off would you have been?

I think they sold out this event. I was talking about going a week or so back and was told there are none left
The fighters must have put in overtime on the streets then.

Either that or it's overflow from the wedding of the century last Saturday.

while out selling wolf tickets
No I mean actual tickets. It's a requirement for Bellator fighters.

He is probably one of those aggressive salesmen types and was chasing someone down after the person refused.

"A night of fun! Bring your friends, guaranteed fireworks..." -- BOOM, trips over curb, leg fucked.

Cro Cop isn't an undercard fighter, are you sure the "real" fighters are having to sell tickets?

That’s probably a common occurrence for you.......do people say “we were gonna invite you out but there was a cap on the party numbers, we’ll let you know well in advance next time”......rinse, repeat
