On the day of the weigh-ins for Bellator 96, there has been a shakeup in the “Summer Series” heavyweight tournament. Vinicius Queiroz (6-3 MMA, 1-1 BFC) is out of a semifinal bout against Rich Hale (21-5 MMA, 6-2 BFC) in the four-man tourney, and stepping in to take his place will be Ryan Martinez (9-2 MMA, 2-1 BFC). Bellator announced the switch on Tuesday afternoon, saying Queiroz had suffered a knee injury. Bellator 96 takes place Wednesday at WinStar World Casino in Thackerville, Okla. The three-hour main card airs on Spike TV following prelims on Spike.com. Weigh-ins for the event take place today in Oklahoma, which theoretically shouldn’t be much issue for Martinez since he fights at heavyweight
