Bellator 166: "Dantas vs. Warren 2" and Bellator 167: "Curran vs. Teixeira" will takeover WinStar World Casino in Thackerville, Okla., on Dec. 2 and Dec. 3, 2016, respectively. It is the first back-to-back double header in the mixed martial arts (MMA) promotion's history.
Bellator 166 will feature a Bantamweight world title match between a current and a former champion. Eduardo Dantas (18-4) recaptured the gold by dominating Marcos Galvao for five consecutive rounds at Bellator 156. His speed and power were simply too much for Galvao to handle. Joe Warren (14-5) is the man who solved that puzzle, handing Dantas his only loss in his last five fights, out wrestling him en route to taking the belt from him at Bellator 128 in a close unanimous decision.
