Bellator 138s' Daniel Weichel out to finish 'Pitbull' Freire, take the Featherweight belt home Friday night

You wouldn't bet on a "Weasel" in a dog fight, but take that same fight outside the animal kingdom into mixed martial arts (MMA) and it's a different story.

Featherweight Daniel Weichel has a record any fighter in any weight class would envy.

Over a decorated career that spans all the way back to 2002, Weichel has compiled a 35-8 record, won the M-1 Global Lightweight Tbelt, and finished the Bellator Season 10 Featherweight Tournament with a rear-naked choke submission of Desmond Green.

That most recent victory propelled Weichel into the North American mixed martial arts (MMA) spotlight.
