Roy Boughton has replaced Philipe Luiz Lins and will meet Francis Carmont in a light heavyweight tournament alternate bout at Bellator 142 "Dynamite.”
A Bellator official informed Sherdog.com on Wednesday that Lins had to withdraw from the matchup due to a bout with dengue fever. Bellator 142 takes place at the SAP Center in San Jose on Sept. 19 and will feature both MMA and kickboxing fights. The event is headlined by a 205-pound championship clash pitting Liam McGeary against Tito Ortiz.
