A pair of main card fights have been scratched from Friday’s Bellator 174 lineup.

The catchweight bout between Kendall Grove (23-16 MMA, 4-3 BMMA) and Mike Rhodes (10-4 MMA, 0-0 BMMA), as well as the bantamweight contest between Joe Taimanglo (23-7-1 MMA, 6-3 BMMA) and Steve Garcia (7-1 MMA, 5-1 BMMA), have been removed from the card after Rhodes and Taimanglo missed weight for their respective contests this morning.

MMAjunkie today confirmed the news with Bellator officials citing an inability for the athletes to agreeable terms for a catchweight. Grove and Garcia will be paid the “show” portion of their fight purses.

As a result of the changes, the lightweight fight between Fernando Gonzalez and Brandon Girtz has been elevated to the co-main event while the Justin Wren (12-2 MMA, 2-0 UFC) vs. Roman Pizzolato (9-6 MMA, 0-0 BMMA) and Rafael Lovato Jr. (4-0 MMA, 0-0 BMMA) vs. Charles Hackmann (4-4 MMA, 0-0 BMMA) (who replaces an injured Wayman Carter) will air on the Spike-televised main card following prelims streamed on MMAjunkie.
