Bellator president Scott Coker had to make a down-to-the-wire decision to postpone the event.

Coker says fighters were compensated for the postponement of the Bellator 241 event.

The event was scheduled to take place Friday night at Mohegan Sun Arena in Connecticut .

The cancellation of the event was due to the global cornavirus pandemic.

Bellator 241 was due to be headlined by featherweight champion Patricio Freire ( 30 -4 MMA, 18 -4 BMMA) and lightweight lightweight champion Pedro Carvalho ( 11 -3 MMA) in the quarterfinals of Bellator ’s ongoing featherweight grand prix.

“I’m not sure what (president Trump ) is going to do,” Bellator executive says.
