Bellator 196 results and discussion

Discuss Friday’s Bellator 196: Henderson vs. Huerta card right here on Bloody Elbow.

Apparently MMA still exists, and if we’re talking about main events falling apart, Bellator 196 was definitely not supposed to feature either Ben Henderson or Roger Huerta. James Gallagher was due to face Adam Borics in the headliner in Budapest, Hungary, but Gallagher’s injury meant an entirely different bout getting top billing, so we’ll see if Henderson can avoid a 1-4 Bellator record, or if Huerta can put himself back in the spotlight.

It’s a foreign Bellator MMA card, so it’s tape delay all the way. The main card starts at 9 PM ET/CT, so please do not put spoilers in here. For more on tonight’s event, check out Eddie Mercado’s preview.

Here is the full Bellator 196 main card:

Ben Henderson vs. Roger Huerta - Lightweights

Adam Borics vs. Teodor Nikolov - Featherweights

Denise Kielholtz vs. Petra Castkova - Women’s Flyweights
