Attualmente assorto in una striscia vincente quattro lotta, compresi i suoi primi due gare con Bellator MMA, Couture will look to start off 2016 on the right foot. Il figlio di MMA leggenda Randy Couture, l'ex concorrente Strikeforce ha terminato tutte le suddette vittorie via la presentazione choke retro-naked. Couture was slated to compete at "Bellator 143: Warren vs. Davis," but his opponent missed weight by more than 16 libbre.
Standing opposite of Couture will be the elder “Pitbull” brother, who agreed to the fight on short notice after Derek Anderson was forced to withdraw due to injury. Freire competed during the last event of 2015 and will now make his 14th appearance for Bellator MMA during the first event of 2016. It’s worth noting that 10 of Freire’s wins have come before reaching the judges’ scorecards.
