Bellator 247 is undergoing some last-minute changes. On Wednesday afternoon, the official fighter weigh-ins for the event were taking place when main event participant Paul Daley fell ill and was transported to the hospital.
According to reports, Daley was taken out of the weigh-ins on a stretcher and his main event bout against Derek Anderson was scrapped from the card.
With the main event being scrapped, the new main event is a women’s flyweight bout between UFC veteran Kate Jackson and Dutch kickboxing standout Denise Kielholtz.
The new co-main event will be a middleweight bout between Norbert Novenyi and Laid Zerhouni.
Other bouts on the CBS Sports Network main card — which takes place Thursday at Allianz Cloud in Milan, Italy — include a 160-pound catchweight bout between Chris Duncan and Iamik Furtado, and the main card opener between Simone D’Anna and Brian Moore at featherweight.
A full look at the Bellator 247 weigh-in results and updated fight card can be seen below.
