Bellator 156 video highlights: Folks, Eduardo Dantos put an absolute beating on Marcos Galvao

Filed under: Bellator , Featured , Featured Videos , News , Videos When the scores are 50-45, 50-44 and 50-43, you know one fighter put one heck of a beating on the other. In this case, it was Eduardo Dantas (18-4 MMA, 8-2 BMMA) who reigned supreme in the one-sided bout, and it earned him Bellator’s bantamweight title – and a 2-0 series lead over his former teacher – against now-ex-champ Marcos Galvao (17-7-1 MMA, 7-4 BMMA). The fight headlined Friday’s Bellator 156 event at Save Mart Center in Fresno, Calif. The main card aired on Spike following prelims on MMAjunkie. Dantas, who reclaimed the belt he lost to Joe Warren in 2014, was simply too quick and too accurate for Galvao, who also suffered a title loss to then-champ Dantas in 2013. In the co-headliner, welterweight Chidi Njokuani (15-4 MMA, 2-0 BMMA) simply picked apart and ultimately dismantled late replacement Thiago Jambo Goncalves (18-5 MMA, 0-1 BMMA) with a prolific display of punches and kicks

After infection caused delay, Bellator champ Marcos Galvao still plans two title defenses this year

BAD MMA News — Wed, 15 Jun 2016 19:45:53 +0000

Marcos Galvao Bellator bantamweight champ Marcos Galvao and former title holder Eduardo Dantas have tried twice before to arrange a rematch, and it appears this Friday, that bout will finally happen. And while that means Galvao isn’t fighting his first bout of 2016 until halfway through the year, he sees a second defense before year’s end, and perhaps in his adopted home of New York. “Most champions fight about twice a year,” Dantas told MMAjunkie.

After injury-related shuffles, the welterweight co-headlines Bellator 156 against striker Chidi Njokuani (14-4 MMA, 1-0 BMMA).

Confident in title at Bellator 156, Dantas thinks he and Galvao can be friends when they retire

BAD MMA News — Sun, 12 Jun 2016 01:37:56 +0000

In February 2013, Eduardo Dantas knocked out his former teammate Marcos Galvao in the second round of their Bellator 89 scrap to successfully defend the promotion’s bantamweight belt for the second time. On Friday, at Bellator 156, Dantas (17-6-1 MMA, 7-3 BMMA) and Galvao (17-4 MMA, 7-2 BMMA) meet again under very different circumstances. Over three years have gone by. “Dudu” went from defending champ to title challenger. And his once-close relationship with Galvao has grown both emotionally and geographically distant.
