Bellator 219 video: Daniel Straus describes learning to walk again after motorcycle accident
The fact Daniel Straus is walking, period, defies logic.
That the former Bellator champion is about to step into the cage again is just the icing on a miraculous cake.
Straus (24-8 MMA, 11-5 BMMA), a two-time featherweight champ, is moving up to lightweight Friday to take on Shane Kruchten (12-4 MMA, 0-1 BMMA) at Bellator 219, which takes place at Pechanga Resort Casino in Temecula, Calif. The main card airs on Paramount and streams on DAZN following prelims on MMA Junkie.
A motorcycle accident in December 2017 had doctors questioning if he’d be able to walk again, let alone fight. But he persevered and is ready to get back to what he says he was born to do.
In its latest edition of “We Are Bellator,” the promotion goes inside Straus’ mind and heart to hear about his motivation ahead of Friday’s comeback fight.
Check out the video above.
