Report: Bellator 185 co-main event scrapped after McGeary pulls out

First "King Mo," now Liam McGeary.

One week after Muhammed Lawal pulled out of Bellator 185's light heavyweight co-main event with an undisclosed injury, McGeary has been pulled from the bill entirely with one of his own, MMAjunkie's Mike Bohn reports.

McGeary, a former Bellator champion, had been aiming to rebound from a submission loss to Linton Vassell at Bellator 179 in May. Bubba McDaniel - who'd been tagged to face McGeary in Lawal's stead - will reportedly be booked for a future Bellator card, likely at his natural fighting weight of 185 pounds.

Bellator 185 will see Gegard Mousasi make his promotional debut against Alexander Shlemenko in the middleweight main event on Oct. 20 at Mohegan Sun Arena in Connecticut.
