Bellator’s featherweight and lightweight champions are set to defend their belts a Bellator 145 on Nov. 6, but it looks like the promotion could use a little extra security to keep them away from each other.
Patricio Freire puts his 145-pound title on the line against Daniel Straus, while lightweight kingpin Will Brooks meets Marcin Held in the co-main event. The two champions engaged in a war on Twitter over the past few days, and Brooks promised to slap "Pitbull" when they meet.
"I stand by my words," Brooks told Ariel Helwani on Monday’s edition of The MMA Hour.
