An unspecified injury has forced Brazilian prospect Goiti Yamauchi to withdraw from his scheduled meeting with Pat Curran at Bellator 139.
The organization Monday announced that once-beaten Emmanuel Sanchez has agreed to face Curran at the June 26 event, which airs live on Spike TV from Kansas Star Arena in Mulvane, Kan.

Sanchez will enter his third Bellator appearance on a six-fight winning streak, with wins in the promotion against Alejandro Villalobos and Stephen Banaszak over the past eight months. “El Matador” has lost just once in 11 professional outings, falling via decision to current World Series of Fighting talent Lewis Gonzalez in May 2013.
Bellator today also announced four new undercard matchups to round out the 13-bout card. A pair of heavyweight bouts will see Javy Ayala face Alex Huddleston and Derek Bohi take on Frederick Brown, while at lightweight Marcio Navarro will meet Cody Carrillo, and at featherweight Gaston Reyno will square off with Greg Scott.
