Bellator Champions Series: London loses Johnny Eblen vs. Fabian Edwards title-fight headliner

Bellator Champions Series: London has lost its main event.

The middleweight championship rematch between Johnny Eblen and Fabian Edwards has been removed from the card, the promotion announced Tuesday. No reason was given for the cancellation. A new date for Eblen (15-0) vs. Edwards (13-3) is expected to be announced in the coming days.

With the removal, the women’s featherweight bout pitting Leah McCourt vs. Sara Collins, which was set as the co-main event, has been elevated to top billing.

BCS: London takes place Sept. 14 at OVO Arena in London, England.

McCourt (8-3) looks to build off her win over former UFC title challenger Sara McMann back in October. Meanwhile, Collins (5-0), who also hasn’t fought since 2023, is in search of her third Bellator win.

With the cancellation, here’s the BCS: London lineup:

MAIN CARD (Max, noon ET)
