Eduardo Dantas and Darrion Caldwell will finally meet inside the Bellator cage Friday, and the bantamweight champion can’t wait to put his hands on “The Wolf.”
“Dudu” was originally slated to meet Caldwell in April, but Leandro Higo stepped up on a month’s notice when Caldwell was forced out due to an injury. Dantas won via split decision, and admits he wasn’t too excited to fight an overweight promotional newcomer.
After “fighting strategically just to win” at Bellator 177, Dantas returns in the main event of Friday’s Bellator 184 in Thackerville, Okla.
