Bellator returns to Spike TV tonight Fri., March 14, 2014 with Straus vs. Curran 3 from The Venue at Horseshoe Casino in Hammond, Indiana. Get complete, official Bellator 112 event results, live updates and real-time coverage right here. Bellator returns for its third event of season 10, featuring a trilogy fight in the main event for the promotion's featherweight championship.
In the main event, featherweight champion Daniel Straus a day after having a struggle with the scale before making weight on his second attempt defends his title for the first time in a trilogy rematch against former champ Pat Curran. Also on the card, four opening-round fights take place in the Season 10 welterweight tournament.
Anthony Gomez, with former WEC champ Miguel Torres in his corner, was just too much for Jason Guida, the brother of UFC featherweight standout Clay Guida. Gomez worked Guida over in the clinch and on the ground en route to a unanimous decision, picking up a 30-26 and a pair of 30-27 scores.
In the night's opening bout, the Shonie Carter-trained Daniel James and Pat Curran-trained Erick Correa spent plenty of time clinched up exchanging short shots. But in the second, James got on top and started landing punches until Correa had to verbally submit.
After defeating Pat Curran late last year at Bellator 106, Daniel Straus wants to prove the upset was no fluke as he takes on the former champion for the third time. They each have one win a piece, and this third fight will determine who walks away as the victor of the trilogy and with the featherweight strap around their waist.
Notice the lack of hype for Bellator's other championship trilogy? This will mark the third encounter between the two men, but the two first installments haven't been nearly as memorable as Michael Chandler vs. Eddie Alvarez.
Pat Curran took the initial encounter on the regional circuit back in 2009, while Straus dominated their recent rematch at Bellator 106, derailing the plans for Bellator's 145-pound strap.
Rounding up the main card will be three bouts taking shape in the promotion's welterweight tournament, as Nah-Shon Burrell takes on Andrey Koreshkov, Cristiano Souza dukes it out with Sam Oropeza, and opening up the main card will be Jesse Juarez against Adam McDonough.
In addition, keep it locked right here for the official weigh-in results later this afternoon, a stream of the "Prelims" under card bouts on Friday and live blow-by-blow coverage of the entire Spike TV event.
