MMA ODDS AND ENDS FOR MONDAY: MACDONALD INJURED, HENDRICKS VS. CONDIT NOW ON TAP FOR UFC 158

The injury bug bit the UFC from the butt as Rory MacDonald is out of the UFC 158 matchup with Carlos Condit because of a neck injury suffered in training. In the place steps of MacDonald Johny Hendricks, and he will fight Condit in the co-main event of the day. The news was initially reported by MMAjunkie.com’s John Morgan. Together with the switcheroo — which is extremely disappointing to all viewing like Condit vs. MacDonald was an early favorite to win”Battle of the Night” — Jake Ellenberger, that had been set to combat Hendricks, is left with no opponent, although it’s rumored Tyron Woodley could choose the fight on short notice. Expect the MMA odds for Hendricks vs. Condit to be very competitive, although Hendricks will probably be a small favorite due to his wrestling advantage. Jansen vs. Held Postponed Again An accident to Marcin Held has again forced the postponement of his Bellator Season 7 Lightweight Tournament Final from Dave Jansen for the second time, according to a report by MMAjunkie.com. The lightweights were first set to meet at Bellator 84 but the Indian Athletic Commission wouldn’t permit to go into the casino and the struggle was embarrassingly scratched in the last moment. Now the rain date, that was set to take place at the forthcoming Bellator 92 event, was rearranged too, and the two will meet at Bellator 93.
