Next week’s Bellator 238 will proceed minus two of their more interesting personalities.
Two bouts were scratched from the card Friday due to undisclosed injuries to the fights’ respective A-sides: Dillon Danis vs. Kegan Gennrich, and Khonry Gracie vs. Hector Saldana. MMA Junkie confirmed an initial report by ZThe Orange County Register through a source with knowledge of the situation.
Danis (2-0 MMA, 2-0 BMMA) the controversial associate of Conor McGregor and jiu-jitsu standout, was scheduled to meet Gennrich (2-1 MMA, 0-0 BMMA) in a 175-catchweight main-card bout.
Gracie (2-1 MMA, 2-1 BMMA), the son of MMA founding father Royce Gracie, was slated to meet Hector Saldana (3-4 MMA, 0-0 BMMA) in a preliminary-card welterweight bout.
