Bellator has confirmed the fifth participant in their upcoming season four featherweight tournament, as 14-3 Daniel Straus has been added to the field.
Straus enters the tournament on a ten fight win streak, including a decision win over Chad Hinton in Bellator's second season and a win over WEC vet Karen Darabedyan in his last bout in September.
"I like to fight at least once a month so this tournament format is perfect for me," said Straus. "If I'm not banged up or hurt, I like to keep training and turn around and get my next fight in. I like to stay as active as possible. I never like to slow down."
"My focus isn't on Joe Warren right now. My focus is on the first person I fight and putting a beating on him, and then it will be the second guy I fight and putting a beating on him. My biggest test isn't going to be Joe Warren, but getting to Joe Warren."
Said Bellator Chairman and CEO Bjorn Rebney, "Daniel was very impressive at Bellator 23 as a Lightweight and he's riding a great 10 fight win streak including some very solid wins, I'm excited to see what he can do at 145."
