Unfortunately Liam was taken ill yesterday morning and has had to pull out of the fight with Kotsur. We are gutted about this - its the forst time Liam has ever had to pull out of a fight especially at such short notice and the first time this has happened with any Bad Company Fighter.

Luke Turner agreed to step in as Kotsur was already here at 4.00 yesterday afternoon and weighed in at 65kg this morning. Kotsur was 64 yesterday. The fight is now a non title fight but still a great opportunity for Luke and will be a great fight. He had to turn down fighting Paul Karpowicz aon this show a few weeks ago due to an injury affecting his training. He is now recovered but obviously hasn't had ideal preparation. This was too good an opportunity to turn down and we didn't want to let the promoters down.

Apologies to everyone for Liam pulling out but he wouldnt have done unless absolutely necessary and good luck to Luke who's grabbed this with both hands.
