Bellator 167 fight card reshuffled, adds 'Pitbull' vs Campos and Caldwell vs Taimanglo rematches

Bellator 167: "Pitbull vs. Campos 2" comes to WinStar World Casino and Resort in Thackerville, Okla., on Dec. 3, 2016, serving as the second straight night of fights for the mixed martial arts (MMA) promotion that weekend. The Spike TV-televised event was originally supposed to feature a key Featherweight match up between former champion, Pat Curran, and rising contender John Teixeira; however, Curran withdrew from the match with an undisclosed injury.

As a result, the card has been reshuffled and will feature a new main event between familiar foes. Derek Campos and Patricky Freire previously met at Bellator 117, with "Pitbull" stopping Campos via technical knockout in the second round.
