SAN JOSE, Calif. – The Bellator light heavyweight grand prix will need to turn to the alternate pool. The tournament has ended for Anthony Johnson . Johnson, a former UFC title challenger, has withdrawn from his upcoming Bellator 268 headliner against champion Vadim Nemkov – and the tournament as a whole – due to illness, multiple people with knowledge of the situation told MMA Junkie. The people asked to remain anonymous since the promotion has yet to make an official announcement. Nemkov (14-2 MMA, 6-0 BMMA) is expected to remain on the card against an opponent to be announced at a later time.
