It is not yet known what injury caused Koscheck to leave the card. The TUF 1 veteran would make his debut with the organization in January, but was also injured.
Koscheck and Daley faced each other at UFC 113, in 2010, in a fight full of provocations and animosity. After being dominated for three rounds, Daley attacked Koscheck at the end of the fight, which resulted in his immediate dismissal from the UFC.
Koscheck's replacement in the fight will be the Brazilian Douglas lima, former Bellator category champion. Lima will have his first fight since losing the title to Andrei Koreshkov, in July last year.
Koscheck wasn't the only casualty of Bellator 158 – the other, unfortunately, had more serious causes. The main fight of the event would be between Kimbo Slice and James Thompson, but Slice passed away last Monday (6).
