As Rory MacDonald is from his UFC 158 matchup with Carlos Condit due to a neck injury suffered in 31, the injury bug bit the UFC from the butt today. In the place steps of MacDonald Johny Hendricks, and he will fight with Condit from the new event of the day. The information was originally reported by MMAjunkie.com’s John Morgan. Together with the switcheroo — which is extremely disappointing to all viewing like Condit vs. MacDonald was an early favorite to win”Fight of the Night” — Jake Ellenberger, who had been set to combat Hendricks, is abandoned without an opponent, although it’s rumored Tyron Woodley could take the fight on short notice. Anticipate the MMA chances for Hendricks vs. Condit to be somewhat competitive, though Hendricks will likely be a tiny favorite due to his wrestling edge. Jansen vs. Held Postponed Again An injury to Marcin Held has forced the postponement of his Bellator Season 7 Lightweight Tournament Final against Dave Jansen for the second time, according to a report by MMAjunkie.com. The lightweights were first set to meet Bellator 84 however, the Athletic Commission would not permit to enter the match and the struggle was scratched. The rain date, which was set to take place has been rearranged too, and both will meet at Bellator 93.
