Friday’s
Bellator 264 card is down two fights due to “health and safety
protocols.”
The promotion announced Tuesday that Danny
Sabatello vs. Johnny
Campbell and James
Adcock vs. Nekruz
Mirkhojaev have been canceled. As a result, the preliminary
draw will begin at 7:15 p.m. ET/4:15 p.m. PT. According to a report
from
MMAFighting.com, Sabatello was forced to withdraw from the
event after testing positive for COVID-19.

on Friday and is headlined by a middleweight championshp bout
between Gegard
Mousasi and John Salter.
The main card airs on Showtime at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT.
American Top Team’s Sabatello has been victorious in 11 of his
first 12 professional outings, including a three-round verdict over
Brett
Johns in his most recent fight at Bellator 259. A veteran of 34
professional bouts, Campbell is coming off a second-round
submission of Henry
Corrales at Bellator 258.
Adcock was to make his promotional debut with a 7-4 record and had
been victorious five of his last six bouts. Mirkhojaev, meanwhile,
is 5-3 as a pro and has won three of his last four on the regional
