Dan Straus:

We are stoked to have Daniel under the pd umbrella!  This tough, scrappy feller is a Bellator vet where he competed in the Featherweight tourney and lost to Patricio Freire via decision.  However, Dan has since gotten back into the cage where he recently claimed the NAAFS – Caged Fury lightweight strap with a UD win over TUF Alum Jason Dent.  This fight unified the NAAFS lightweight title.  Dent was the defending champion, and Straus was the defending interim champion; but now is the current Champ!

Daniel is currently running with an impressive 17-4 record.  Check it out below.
