“Hey guys. Due to a health concern I won’t be fighting this weekend. I’m hoping the issue will resolve soon and I’ll be rescheduled in a few weeks.”

Schaffroth has also been pulled from the card as well according to MMA Junkie, as a suitable replacement couldn’t be found in time.

Mowry says that he’ll be rescheduled to fight again in a few weeks, but neglected to mention if Schaffroth is going to be the opponent at that time.

Bellator 239 takes place on Friday, February 21 from the Winstar World Resort & Casino in Thackerville, Oklahoma with Ed Ruth and Yaroslav Amosov headlining. Fightful is providing live coverage of the event, which airs live on the Paramount Network.
