Bellator 241 will no longer be taking place this evening.
The event was set to be held at the Mohegan Sun Casino in Connecticut behind closed doors, with a grudge match main event between Patricio Pitbull and Pedro Carvalho. Unfortunately, with just hours to wait before showtime, the event has been postponed due to the spread of the coronavirus. The news was first reported by Fightful.
I've been told tonight's Bellator show is about to be postponed. Press release coming shortly.
