Bellator 178 video highlights: Patricio Freire leaves no doubt in tetralogy fight with Straus

Bellator 178’s main event was an MMA rarity. Forget trilogies.

Featherweight champion Daniel Straus (24-7 MMA, 11-4 BMMA) and former champ Patricio Freire (26-4 MMA, 14-4 BMMA) had a tetralogy fight – their fourth meeting.

But in this one, the challenger left no doubt thanks to a second-round guillotine choke that got him back the 145-pound title – and gave him a 3-1 advantage over Straus in their series.

Bellator 178 took place at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn.. The main card aired on Spike following prelims on MMAjunkie.

In the co-feature, Ilima Macfarlane (6-0 MMA, 5-0 BMMA) stayed perfect with an armbar submission of Jessica Middleton (2-1 MMA, 2-1 BMMA). Plus, Saad Awad (20-9 MMA, 8-6 BMMA) dominated Ryan Quinn (13-7-1 MMA, 7-1 BMMA) for a scorecard sweep. And to open the main card, A.J. McKee (8-0 MMA, 8-0 BMMA) stayed unbeaten with a head-kick knockout of Dominic Mazzotta (12-2 MMA, 0-1 BMMA).
