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."
