Bellator 174 Coenen vs. Budd: Fight Card & Quick Picks (Updated)

Jesus, Bellator cannot catch a break. Chris Honeycutt has been pulled from the card for undisclosed reasons and his replacement, Mike Rhodes could not make weight so that bout is cancelled. Fernando Gonzales and Joe Taimanglo both missed weight as well and if all of this isn't enough, Andrey Koreshkov withdrew due to injury. Bellator needs to get their shit together and perhaps a little good will is due from the MMA Gods.
