Featherweight champion Patricio Freire puts his belt on the line for the first time against former champ Daniel Straus. “Pitbull” Freire beat Straus in 2011 in the Bellator Season 4 featherweight tournament final. Straus was well under the 145-pound max at 143.4 pounds, and Brazil’s Freire was under, as well, at 144.3. The two then got face-to-face, where a little jaw-jacking led to Bellator President Scott Coker stepping in to make sure things didn’t escalate

Whatever he has to give up, he’ll do so in order to succeed. So when he twice ran afoul of the rules – for one, missing weight prior to a key win this past October against Karo Parisyan, and two, testing positive post-fight for marijuana – he knew what he had to give up
