Bellator is having a difficult time nailing down a main event for the second night of its upcoming doubleheader weekend in Oklahoma. Bellator 167, which is slated for Saturday, Dec. 3, was originally set to feature a featherweight bout between Pat Curran and John Teixeira. Following Curran’s withdrawal due to injury , a lightweight bout between Patricky Freire and Derek Campos was named as the Bellator 167 main event. Bellator officials on Friday confirmed an initial report by MMAJunkie.com that Freire had suffered an injury and had to withdraw from the replacement bout.
