Bellator London Cancels Eblen-Edwards Rematch

The highly anticipated rematch between Bellator middleweight champion Johnny Eblen and Fabian Edwards has been postponed, with a new date to be announced soon. The cancellation, attributed to undisclosed reasons, has led to the women's featherweight bout between Leah McCourt and Sara Collins being elevated to the main event for the September 14 Bellator Champions Series in London. McCourt is looking to build on her previous victory over Sara McMann, while Collins seeks to maintain her undefeated record. The event will also feature additional matchups, including light-heavyweights Simon Powell and Luke Trainer. This marks a noteworthy shift in the event's lineup after Bellator's recent acquisition by the Professional Fighters League (PFL). The new focus on the McCourt-Collins fight reflects the ongoing evolution of Bellator's promotional strategies.
