Josh Koscheck’s first fight in nearly 12 years for someone other than the UFC has been put on hold.

Koscheck (17-10 MMA, 0-0 BMMA) was scheduled to make his promotional debut later this month at Bellator 148 against Matt Secor (7-2 MMA, 1-1 BMMA), but an undisclosed injury has forced him out of the main event in the city he trains in and calls home. A Bellator official confirmed the news to MMAjunkie after an initial report from Sherdog.

With its headliner for the card scrapped, Koscheck rival Paul Daley (37-13-2 MMA, 3-0 BMMA) moves into the main event against fellow welterweight Andy Uhrich (11-5 MMA, 1-2 BMMA). That bout will move up from the co-feature position.

Bellator 148 takes place Jan. 29 at Save Mart Center in Fresno, Calif. The main card airs on Spike following prelims on MMAjunkie.

Additionally, the promotion confirmed to MMAjunkie a heavyweight bout between Raphael Butler (9-1-1 MMA, 4-1-1 BMMA) and Tony Johnson (9-2 MMA, 2-0 BMMA) for the main card. The fight first was reported by Combat Press. And Ilima Macfarlane (2-0 MMA, 1-0 BMMA) will meet Amber Tackett (1-1 MMA, 0-0 BMMA) in a women’s flyweight bout, a matchup first reported by MMA Fighting.

Koscheck, a longtime UFC fighter, was set for his Bellator debut. A veteran of Season 1 of “The Ultimate Fighter” and a onetime UFC welterweight title challenger, the 37-year-old went 15-10 in the UFC over a decade with the company.

But he closed out his UFC run with five straight losses, including four consecutive stoppage setbacks and back-to-back submission defeats to Jake Ellenberger and Erick Silva, which came just three weeks apart.

Secor, who has fought for Bellator, WSOF and CFFC during his five-and-a-half-year career, appeared on “The Ultimate Fighter 16.” He was looking to extend a three-fight winning streak after submitting Jeremie Holloway at Bellator 144 in October.

Daley, who suffered a loss to Koscheck in 2010 at UFC 113 (and was then cut from the roster after throwing a post-fight punch), has been angling for a rematch. In the meantime, the 32-year-old English kickboxer has racked up a four-fight winning streak with eight victories in his past nine fights. Most recently, he knocked out Dennis Olson in July at Bellator 140.

In the new main event, he meets Uhrich, a Bellator vet who’s picked up a three-fight winning streak since returning to California’s regional circuit. Prior to the trio of decision wins, the former Strikeforce fighter suffered back-to-back Bellator losses to Ben Brewer and Nathan Coy.
