It’s not the original, announced main event. But MMA fans in Hungary will be getting a special treat next month.
Benson Henderson will meet the returning Roger Huerta in the headliner of Bellator 196 on April 6 in Budapest, MMA Fighting’s Ariel Helwani reported on Monday’s edition of The MMA Hour. James Gallagher, who was supposed to headline the card against Adam Borics, had to withdraw due to a hand injury and the bout was scrapped. Borics will remain on the card.
Henderson (24-8) has not fought since falling to Patricky Freire by split decision at Bellator 183 back in September.
