Tomorrow’s Bellator 247 has lost its main event after Paul Daley was hospitalized with illness following the official weigh-ins early this morning. Daley did hit the scales for the event, but he came in 2.6 lbs over the welterweight limit.
Daley’s scheduled opponent, Derek Anderson, did make weight.
Gareth Davis was on the ground for the event, in Milan, Italy. He tweeted video showing a Bellator official relaying information to the gathered media while it was still unclear if Daley would be able to compete.
