Somebody tell Philipe Lins to invest in a mosquito net.
It's unfortunate timing for Lins to catch a case of dengue fever, forcing him out of his Light Heavyweight tournament reserve bout against his original opponent, Francis Carmont. But, that's exactly what happened.
Carmont will now collide with Roy Boughton in the one-night, four-man 205-pound tournament at Bellator 142: "Dynamite 1" this Saturday night (Sept. 19, 2015) inside SAP Center in Sacramento, California.
Carmont was riding high after moving up to Light Heavyweight and winning his first bout since leaving Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), while Lins had only suffered one loss in his professional career, falling to Kelly Anundson due to a knee injury.
