Paul Daley was set to fight Derek Anderson in the main event of Bellator 247, but a bad weight cut saw the fight scrapped altogether.

During the official weigh-ins yesterday, neither Daley nor Anderson took to the scale, but it was announced by Bellator that Daley weighed in at 172.6 pounds and Anderson at 170.4 pounds. After missing the weight limit by a little over a pound, Daley was transported to a hospital and the commission came to the decision to cancel the fight.

Initially, Daley was unhappy with this and suggested that he could indeed fight and planned on doing so in a now-deleted Instagram video.
