Beast! Bellator 145's Daniel Straus featured in Doug Merlino's new MMA-inspired book

Daniel Straus takes his third shot at long-time rival "Pitbull" Patricio Freire in the Featherweight main event of Bellator 145 on Nov. 6, 2015 in St. Louis. He's also one of the featured fighters in a new book by Doug Merlino.

Bellator 145: "Vengeance" takes place Nov. 6, 2015, at Scottrade Center in St. Louis, Missouri. The five-fight main card for Spike TV will be capped off with a Featherweight title defense for "Pitbull" Patricio Freire.

"Pitbull" and his opponent, Daniel Straus, know each other well. Freire beat Straus for the second time at Bellator 132, but the former 145-pound champion has not given up on his quest to regain the belt.
