Former Bellator MMA World Featherweight Champion Daniel Straus looks to work his way back to the belt at “Bellator Emmanuel: Emechaghi Business” against undefeated challenger Henry Corrales

Hapụ ikwu

Santa Monica, Calif. (Ka 5, 2015) – Former Bellator MMA World Featherweight Champion Daniel Straus (23-6) begins his trek back to a world title when he meets undefeated promotional newcomer and former King of the Cage titlist Henry Corrales (12-0) at June’s blockbuster “Bellator Emmanuel: Emechaghi Business” omume.

 

The contest serves as the fifth and final Spike TV-broadcast main card matchup of the star-studded fight card.

 

Featuring one of the most anticipated heavyweight fights in the history of the sport with Kimbo iberi vs. Ken Shamrock, “Bellator Emmanuel: Emechaghi Business” takes place Friday, June 19, na St. Louis’ Scottrade Center na airs bi na ọgọ TV.

With the night’s featured bouts now complete, additional preliminary contests will be announced shortly.

 

A consensus pick as one the best 145-pounders on the planet, Straus is anxious to rebound from a disappointing January loss to current Bellator MMA Featherweight Champion Patrick “Baby” Freire. A member of American Top Team, Straus was ahead early in the fight and appeared to be on his way to reclaiming the belt he lost in 2014 before suffering a knee injury that limited his capabilities and eventually led to his late submission with 11 seconds left in the fourth round.

 

Ugbu a n'ụzọ zuru ezu natara, Straus plans on working his way back to a title bout as quickly as possible, and a victory on a high-profile card like “Bellator Emmanuel: Emechaghi Business” would certainly help him stake his claim as the division’s No. 1 contender.

 

Fighting professionally since 2011, Corrales began his career primarily as a Brazilian jiu-jitsu stylist, as witnessed by his five consecutive submission wins to begin his career. Otú ọ dị, he’s since worked diligently to improve his striking game, and of his past six victories, four have come by way of knockout. Corrales boasts an unblemished professional mark through the first 12 contests of his MMA tenure, including recent wins over big-show veterans Jerod Spoon and Seth Dikun.
