The next Bellator tent-pole event is metaphorically snakebitten. Bellator 154 is scheduled to take place on May 14th at the SAP Center in San Jose, California, but with only two weeks to go before the event kicks off, the main card has only three bouts.
On Sunday, Bellator officials confirmed two pieces of bad news, one of them particularly serious. On the lighter side of the equation, UFC and Strikeforce veteran Josh Thomson suffered an injury in training, postponing his showdown with former Bellator lightweight champion Michael Chandler. That bout was to serve as the Bellator 154 co-main event.
