The reason the Bellator MMA event in Temecula, California had tickets with higher asking average price is because the card featured two championship fights in the Main Event and co-feature.  Bellator 138 only features one championship fight and the main event is more of a publicity match than high quality bout featuring the MMA veteran in Ken Shamrock -- with 45 total fights after coming back from multiple retirements, he hasn’t been in a World title fight in years.  His opponent Kimbo Slice has seen success in the professional boxing ring, but hasn’t competed in MMA bout in five years and was stopped in the second round on a UFC 113 card to Matt Mintrone.

In the co-featured bout and the lone championship fight of the card at Scottrade Center, Brazilian MMA fighter Patricio Freire will make the second defense of his featherweight championship. He will take on veteran Daniel Weichel as Freire is coming off a submission win by rear naked choke over Daniel Straus earlier this year.  However, Freire will have a stern test when he faces a notable submission specialist in Weichel, who has earned his shot coming into this fight on a seven-fight win streak with five of those wins coming by submission via rear naked choke.
