Adam Borics has a new opponent for the Bellator “Fightsphere.”
Multiple people with knowledge of the promotion’s plans confirmed to MMA Fighting that Derek Campos has been removed from his scheduled bout with Borics at Bellator 243 for undisclosed reasons. Stepping in is promotional newcomer Mike Hamel on Aug. 7 at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn.
Borics looks to bounce back after his first professional loss to Darrion Caldwell in the Bellator Featherweight World Grand Prix at January’s Bellator 238 event. “The Kid” entered the bout with an impressive 14-fight winning streak, which includes five finishes in the Bellator cage of Anthony Taylor, Teodor Nikolov, Josenaldo Silva, Aaron Pico and Pat Curran.
