The former Bellator featherweight champion says staying focused, working harder, and learning from his mistakes are the keys to "getting back to the title." Straus takes on Henry Corrales at Bellator 138 on Friday evening (June 19, 2015) in St. Louis, Missouri.
Since he began fighting for Bellator five years ago, Daniel Straus has experienced the very highest of highs the sport has to offer, as well as some extremely heart breaking defeats.
He made it to the top of the mountain at Bellator 106 in November of 2013, when he defeated Pat Curran, only to lose the title in a rematch in his very next fight at Bellator 112, getting submitted in the last minute of the fifth round.
