Bellator MMA announced on Friday evening that due to Tito Ortiz suffering a fractured neck during training, the originally scheduled PPV event set for 11/2 in Long Beach, California has now been moved to Spike TV. The event will air the same night for free, but will no longer feature the main event of Ortiz facing Rampage Jackson.
Bellator and Spike TV held a conference call on Friday to make the announcement. Ortiz and Jackson had been featured on TNA television to promote the fight, but were later pulled from making any further appearances back on 9/12.
