Adam Borics bout which had to be canceled do to a broken hand by James Gallagher.

Bellator 196 will take place April 6th at the Budapest Sports Arena in Budapest Hungary and will be shown on the Paramount network.  This will be the second stint for Huerta with the Bellator promotion who suffered back to back losses with the company in 2010 to Eddie Alvarez and Pat Curran before being released from the promotion. Since then Huerta has gone 3-4 in his last 7 fights picking up a win in Dec. of 2017 when his opponent Hayder Hassan was DQ for striking the back of the head for Phoenix Fighting Championship.
