Josh Koscheck Out of Bellator 158; Paul Daley to Meet Ex-Champ Douglas Lima in London

Josh Koscheck’s Bellator MMA debut has been delayed once more, as the former UFC welterweight contender has withdrawn from his scheduled rematch with Paul Daley.

Bellator officials confirmed the news to ESPN.com on Monday. No reason was given for Koscheck’s withdrawal from the bout.

Koscheck signed with Bellator in June 2015 after exiting the UFC on a five-fight losing skid. The former NCAA Division I wrestling champion was slated to make his first appearance for the organization opposite Matt Secor at Bellator 148, but Koscheck withdrew from that matchup due to injury.
