Bellator Champions Series: London has lost its main event.
The middleweight championship rematch between [autotag]Johnny Eblen[/autotag] and [autotag]Fabian Edwards[/autotag] has been removed from the card, the promotion announced Tuesday. No reason was given for the cancellation. A new date for Eblen (15-0) vs. Edwards (13-3) is expected to be announced in the coming days.
With the removal, the women’s featherweight bout pitting [autotag]Leah McCourt[/autotag] vs. [autotag]Sara Collins[/autotag], which was set as the co-main event, has been elevated to top billing.
BCS: London takes place Sept. 14 at OVO Arena in London, England.
McCourt (8-3) looks to build off her win over former UFC title challenger Sara McMann back in October. Meanwhile, Collins (5-0), who also hasn’t fought since 2023, is in search of her third Bellator win.
