Bellator 166 finished in style as Bellator bantamweight champion Eduardo Dantas exacted his revenge, and defended his title, with a somewhat peculiar majority decision victory over former bantamweight king Joe Warren. The co-main event on the evening saw featherweight prospect A.J. McKee in a tumultuous situation against Ray Wood, and successfully overcome the particular predicament.
Eduardo Dantas def. Joe Warren via Majority Decision (47-47, 49-44, 48-46)
Eduardo Dantas started his rematch with Joe Warren by aggressively establishing his jab early and using it rather often. Warren struggled to close the distance against Dantas due to not only the disruptive jab but his active footwork as well.
