Josh Koscheck pulls out of Bellator debut again, Lima to face Daley

Bellator MMA rescheduled UFC veteran Josh Koscheck's promotional debut for Bellator 158 against rival Paul Daley, but it looks like the matchmakers will have to reschedule Koscheck for a different card yet again.

According to a report from ESPN.com, Koscheck pulled out of his upcoming fight for undisclosed reasons. He was initially supposed to debut under the Bellator MMA banner this past January, but was forced out of the contest due to an injury.

Filling in to fight Daley is former Bellator MMA welterweight champion Douglas Lima, who was slated to fight Chidi Njokuani at Bellator 156 later this month.
