Lovato (9-0 MMA, 5-0 BMMA) was set to challenge middleweight champion Gegard Mousasi (45-6-2 MMA, 3-0 BMMA) in the Bellator 214 co-main event later this month. But Mousasi fell off the card with an injury three weeks ago, leaving Lovato without an opponent.
Bellator 214 takes place Jan. 26 at The Forum in Inglewood, Calif.
