Bellator 196 has not only a new headliner, but also a new co-headliner. As announced on Monday, Benson Henderson (24-8 MMA, 1-3 BMMA) meets fellow veteran Roger Huerta (24-9-1 MMA, 1-2 BMMA) in the new headliner. It was booked when James Gallagher (7-0 MMA, 4-0 BMMA) was forced out of the originally planned main event with Adam Borics (10-0 MMA, 1-0 BMMA) due to a hand injury. Borics will remain on the card and now fights promotional newcomer Manuel Gaxhja (6-0 MMA, 0-0 MMA) in the featherweight co-main event, officials today announced.
