It wasn’t too long ago that Daniel Straus was expected to be out of commission for the better part of a year.
He injured the posterior cruciate ligament in his knee during a fight against current Bellator featherweight champion Patricio Freire in January, and it was assumed that the rest of 2015 would be scratched.
Six months later, though, Straus is ready to climb back through the cage and lock horns with undefeated Henry Corrales on Friday in one of the featured bouts of Bellator 138. Knee injuries are certainly something not to be taken lightly, but when a fighter is as focused as Straus, things tend to heal quicker than normal.
