Pitbull Named Next in Line for Title

Patricio "Pitbull" Freire won Bellator's most recent Featherweight Tournament, but he is forced to sit on the sidelines as Bellator decided to put Curran in an immediate rematch with Daniel Straus for the Featherweight title. Bjorn Rebney has announced that Freire will fight for the title next, but he simply just has to wait for the winner of Straus-Curran III.

Straus-Curran III Set for Bellator 112

Bellator has been all about rematches as of late as they already have Michael Chandler and Eddie Alvarez facing each other a third time this year and now Daniel Straus and Pat Curran will face each other for a third time in March at Bellator 112.  Daniel Straus took the belt from Pat Curran this past November in a decisive unanimous decision win.

I'm really not a huge fan of immediate rematches at all, especially when a fight isn't a really close split decision. There is other talent in Bellator's 145 lb weight class that have earned a shot at the title, who will now have to wait for this trilogy to play out before getting their shot. There is no need for a rematch so soon considering Straus dominated Curran.
