\"B<\/a>An injury to Linton Vassell (16-5, 1 NC) has derailed \u201cThe Swarm\u2019s\u201d summer plans of competing in front of his fellow Englishmen against Francis Carmont (24-11) during the main card of \u201cBellator 158: London,\u201d which will take place on July 16 inside one of the world\u2019s most popular venues, The O2 in London, England. Instead, Carmont will now fight Lukasz Klinger (7-2) at 205-pounds.<\/p>\n

One of the card\u2019s featured preliminary fights has also changed, with the news that the always-exciting James Mulheron (8-1) will now enter the cage to fight London native Neil Grove (12-7).<\/p>\n

In addition to these newly announced bouts, fans will also have the pleasure of watching the always-entertaining British sensation Paul Daley (38-13-2), as he prepares to put on a show for his hometown fans against former welterweight world champion and knockout specialist, Douglas Lima (26-6). Michael \u201cVenom\u201d Page (10-0) aims to continue his raging pace and remain unbeaten when he challenges himself against MMA veteran \u201cCyborg\u201d Santos (21-17). Rounding out the televised action, Matt Mitrione (10-5) will return after his emphatic win last month to face \u201cBritain\u2019s Strongest Man\u201d Oli Thompson (17-8) in a heavyweight beater, and James Gallagher (3-0) takes on Mike Cutting (6-5).<\/p>\n

In the United Kingdom, \u201cBellator 158: London\u201d will be broadcast on SPIKE UK from 9 – 10 p.m. BST and Channel 5 from 10 p.m. \u2013 midnight BST. Meanwhile in America, the card will air live and free on SPIKE at 9 p.m. ET\/PT.<\/p>\n

Hailing from Paris, France, the 34-year-old Carmont will be making his first appearance of 2016 and fourth under the Bellator MMA umbrella. Carmont had strung together a couple wins before his most recent appearance at \u201cBellator MMA: Dynamite 1.\u201d After winning his first bout of the evening, Carmont replaced an injured Muhammed \u201cKing Mo\u201d Lawal on just a few minutes\u2019 notice, to face a formidable Phil Davis in the tournament final, where he was defeated. Now, \u201cLimitless\u201d looks to upset Klinger during the main card of \u201cBellator 158: London.\u201d<\/p>\n

A native of Przemysl, Poland, Klinger has been competing professionally since 2013 and taken fights almost exclusively in the United Kingdom. The 32-year-old went nearly three years without suffering his first loss as a pro, amassing finishes in all seven of his victories. \u201cHitman\u201d has laced up the gloves once already in 2016, and now looks to impress in his Bellator MMA debut when he faces Carmont on July 16 at The O2 in London.<\/p>\n
