4 of the five non-prelims of the Bellator were caste match-ups and our white fighters went 4-0.

Straus spent three years in prison for armed robbery.He's also a career drug dealer going back to his high school days. He was declared academically ineligible for his senior year of wrestling. He had placed 3rd in the state his junior year.

On March 1, 2013 Straus was arrested in Fort Lauderdale, Florida after his vehicle was pulled over. He faced charges of driving with a suspended license, possession of more than 20 grams of marijuana, more than three grams of synthetic cannabis, possession of drug paraphernalia, and possession of
MDMA

Interesting facts, especially given the ultra-respectful manner in which Straus reacted to Curran’s victory. He hugged him repeatedly, shook his hand, and was laughing and smiling after Curran won the title. It was an over-the-top display of sportsmanship for any man, especially a Negro. Curran was very fortunate to win that fight, as he choked the Negro out with only 10-15 seconds remaining in the 5[SUP]th[/SUP] round when he was losing on the scorecards. One of the most exciting endings in MMA history...

Actually, the fight was tied on one card, Straus was ahead on one and Curran was ahead on one. So Curran would have won the fight but glad he left no doubt.

CUrran for some reason fights really dumb aganist him. Curran was winning the striking by counter-punching and staying in the center. Then for some reason he decided to wrestle with Strauss. The reason for this I think is his cousin josh is his coach. I was never a fan of his, he always tried to pull guard and fight with a closed guard, which is the stupidest guard possible. Curran was basically bjj specialist his whole career.
