(Editor's note: this is the first of several preview entries that we will post throughout the next two days on this event)
Staff persons at Bellator Fighting Championship confirmed that the welterweight bout between UFC veteran Joe Riggs (39-14) and Strikeforce veteran Mike Bronzoulis (15-5-1) scheduled for Bellator 98 on Sept. 7 at Mohegan Sun in Uncasville was cancelled. Different media sources stated that Riggs, who has also fought with Strikeforce, sustained an eye injury.
The fight, which has been postponed to an undetermined date, is the finale for Bellator's Fight Master television program (essentially the organization's own version of The Ultimate Fighter with the variant of using four coaches rather than two).
The coaches for the program, which debuted this year, include UFC legend Randy Couture, famed MMA trainer Greg Jackson, former UFC middleweight champion Frank Shamrock and former Bellator featherweight champion Joe Warren.
