The 37-year-old American is thus eliminated from the Bellator Bantamweight Grand Prix. Johnson knocked out Jose Augusto in the tournament's quarterfinals on May 7, returning after a four-year layoff.

The Nemkov-Johnson fight was slated to headline the Bellator 268 show, which will take place Oct. 16 in Phoenix. The Russian is expected to get a new opponent.
