Bellator MMA’s Bantamweight Championship is up for grabs in a rematch pitting former champion Eduardo “Dudu” Dantas (17-4) against friend and former training partner Marcos “Loro” Galvao (17-6-1) at Mohegan Sun Arena on Friday 23rd October!

“I was thoroughly impressed with Galvao’s kneebar at Bellator 135 to capture the belt,” Bellator MMA President Scott Coker said. “Seeing how much that title win meant to him, by taking it back home to Brazil and visiting his mother’s grave, is really what mixed martial arts is all about to me. But Dantas showcased his desire to reach the top too by his performance against Mike Richman. I have no idea who is going to come out of Connecticut with the win, but I do know that those in attendance at Mohegan Sun Arena and those tuning in on Spike will be treated to a top-flight world title bout.”
