Confirming reports that John Teixeira is injured and out of the planned Bellator 153 co-main event, Patricio “Pitbull” Freire made it known Friday that he is awaiting a new foe.
Freire (24-3) is a former Bellator featherweight champion who has gone 12-3 for the promotion. He is 7-1 over his last eight, losing only to Daniel Straus via decision for the title at Bellator 145.
The card, set for April 22, features Benson Henderson challenging Andrey Koreshkov for the welterweight title.
