As expected Roger Huerta has replaced injured Pat Curran and meets Bellator lightweight champion Eddie Alvarez in a non-title fight at Bellator 33.
MMAjunkie.com first reported the bout, and Bellator executives made it official during Thursday’s season-three-opening Bellator 24 broadcast.
Although Bellator previously announced the event would take place at the Kansas City Power & Light District in Missouri, officials are now considering a move to a venue near Alvarez’s Philadelphia home.
