An unspecified injury has forced Brazilian prospect Goiti Yamauchi to withdraw from his scheduled meeting with Pat Curran at Bellator 139.

The organization Monday announced that once-beaten Emmanuel Sanchez has agreed to face Curran at the June 26 event, which airs live on Spike TV from Kansas Star Arena in Mulvane, Kan.

Former featherweight champ Curran will look to get back on track after dropping three of his last four bouts, including losses in title fights against Patricio Freire and Daniel Straus.
