And that he will look to move back down to featherweight where he is a former two-time champion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a weekend full of great MMA stories, Straus&#8217;  comeback is a real feel good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"696\" height=\"399\" src=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/wp-content\/uploads\/David-Rickels-Suit.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-307972\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/wp-content\/uploads\/David-Rickels-Suit.jpg 696w, https:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/wp-content\/uploads\/David-Rickels-Suit-300x172.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3>David Rickels<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>He may not have had the luxury of fighting national television at Bellator 219, but none the less, David &#8220;The Caveman&#8221; Rickels found a way to get his name trending in an otherwise slammed weekend of MMA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rickels is known for his over the entrances and he did not disappoint in his record-setting  22 walkout.

Much like his teammate Justin Gaethje, Girtz puts his heart and soul into this fight game. A trait that is overtly evident by his performances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Girtz told &#8220;Big&#8221; John McCarthy during his post-fight interview that he would like to get back in the cage as soon as possible.
