BAMMA middleweight champion Tom Watson (14-4) has been scratched from next month’s BAMMA 7 headliner with a back injury.

In his place steps Bellator veteran “Judo” Jim Wallhead (21-6), who now meets Frank Trigg (21-8) in a non-title fight at the Sept. 10 event.

MMAjunkie.com today confirmed the switch with sources close to the event.

The event takes place at The National Indoor Arena in Birmingham, England. The event streams live online.

The extent of Watson’s injury wasn’t immediately known.
