PrintThat's the word from MMAJunkie:
With season-two tournament winner Pat Curran (12-3 MMA, 3-0 BFC) sidelined by injury, semifinalist Roger Huerta (21-4-1 MMA, 1-1 BFC) instead gets a fight with lightweight champ Eddie Alvarez (20-2 MMA, 4-0 BFC).
The bout takes place Oct. 21 at Bellator 33, multiple sources close to the event told MMAjunkie.com. However, it's slated as a three-round non-title fight.
The FOX Sports Net-televised event currently is slated to take place at the Kansas City Power & Light District in Missouri.
According to the sources, the bout is in the process of being finalized and could be announced shortly. The sources said Curran suffered a shoulder or arm injury while training for the upcoming bout and won't be ready for the October fight date.
This could be a seminal moment for Bellator if they can capitalize off the recent press that Huerta has received in dishing out some street justice in Austin Texas.

Nice that it's a non-title fight
But yeah, with the big talk on Huerta, it could be a good rating for them if they promote it properly (I’ve got a feeling that’s unlikely). With that being said, I’m hoping that you’re not using this definition of seminal:
2. Of, relating to, or denoting semen
I mean, maybe it will…

You know, there was this one time that this guy told me
This business is about being first
And I tend to agree. It’s not like there’s a ton of other news knocking it off the front page, you know?
Extra credit goes to the person who figures out what former newspaper editor told me that quote!

![From MMAJunkie.com:
Strikeforce heavyweight and former NFL great Herschel Walker (1-0 MMA, 1-0 SF) suffered a deep cut in training and has been forced to withdraw from next month's "Strikeforce: Henderson vs. Babalu" event.
Strikeforce officials today confirmed the change with MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com).
Featuring a light heavyweight matchup between Dan Henderson and Renato "Babalu" Sobral, "Strikeforce: Henderson vs. Babalu" takes place Dec. 4 and airs on Showtime.
"I feel terrible about this," Walker stated in today's official release. "I know things like this happen in all sports, but I had trained very hard and was excited to be returning to the cage again."
Walker had been expected to face one-time WEC veteran Scott Carson (4-1 MMA, 0-0 SF).
According to Strikeforce officials, a Daniel Cormier knee strike opened a "deep cut under [Walker's] left eye that required multiple stitches"...
Despite the setback, Walker said he hopes to return to action quickly.
"I hope to fight again as soon as the cut heals," Walker said.](http://cdn3.sbnation.com/fan_shot_images/161814/herschel-walker-2_small.jpg)
