Bellator 167: Knocking on the door of title contention, Justin Lawrence wants to decapitate John Teixeira tonight

Bellator 167 goes down TONIGHT (Sat., Dec. 3, 2016) at WinStar World Casino and Resort in Thackerville, Okla., the second of two straight nights of Bellator MMA in the same building, featuring a rematch between Darrion Caldwell and Joe Taimanglo in the Spike TV-televised main event.

There's no such history between "The American Kidd" Justin Lawrence and John Teixeira, but there's a long history of winning in Teixeira's past, as he can claim an eight-fight unbeaten streak (seven wins, one draw) that dates all the way back to 2012. Lawrence could have had a win streak of his own were it not for a very close split decision loss to Emmanuel Sanchez, but he bounced back from that disappointment with a knockout win over Isao Kobayashi at Bellator 157.
