Paul Daley will get a new opponent for his final walk to the cage. Former welterweight champion Andrey Koreshkov has been forced out of Bellator 281 in London, and Wendell Giacomo will step in on short notice to face Daley on May 13 at OVO Arena Wembley, promotion officials announced Tuesday. Giacomo (9-2 MMA, 0-0 BMMA), a Pitbull Brothers fighter, has won eight of his past nine fights. He was last seen in action as an alternate for the LFA welterweight grand prix, where the Brazilian defeated Uyran Carlos by unanimous decision in July but couldn’t continue in the tournament after he wasn’t cleared to compete
