Eric Prindle
Tomorrow evening’s Bellator 93 event will be one main card match shorter after officials announced an injury to heavyweight Eric ‘The American Soldier’ Prindle (7-3) on Wednesday.
Prindle had been set to clash with Brett ‘Da Grim’ Rogers (12-5) on the Spike TV televised card of the upcoming Maine event.
No details were released as to the nature of Prindle’s injury.
Bellator 93 is scheduled for March 21, 2013 at the Androscoggin Bank Colisee in Lewiston, Maine. The main card will air on Spike TV while the prelim card is set to stream live on the web at Spike.com.
Prindle has dropped two straight matches, suffering a disqualification loss to Thiago Santos last October at Bellator 75 after an accidental groin kick. The previous defeat was in a Bellator heavyweight title match with former champ Cole Konrad, which ended in a first round submission victory for Konrad.
Rogers looks to bounce back from a decision loss to Alexander Volkov in the Season Seven tournament quarterfinals last October. Rogers debuted with Bellator last June, earning a second round TKO (doctor stoppage) finish against opponent Kevin Asplund.
