Rudy Schaffroth will likely still compete at Bellator 242 – but it won’t be against Steve Mowry.
Instead, Schaffroth (6-1 MMA, 2-1 BMMA) is currently being targeted to fight promotional newcomer Ras Hylton on Friday’s card, after Mowry was removed from their preliminary card bout due to a positive COVID-19 test Monday.
A Bellator official confirmed the targeted matchup to MMA Junkie on Tuesday but said contracts have not been signed at this time. Hylton must also pass COVID-19 testing and partake in a mandatory quarantine period.
