Bellator MMA’s next tent-pole event will feature a pair of title bouts, as Patricio Freire defends his featherweight strap against Daniel Straus, and Will Brooks faces Marcin Held for lightweight gold on Nov. 6.
A promotion official confirmed the news Thursday evening following an initial report from MMAFighting.com. The event, entitled Bellator 145 "Vengeance," will take place at the Scottrade Center in St. Louis and air on Spike TV.
Freire and Straus have already squared off twice, with “Pitbull” emerging victorious on both occasions.
