Eduardo Dantas wants what was once his, even if it means going through and old friend and former teammate to get it.
The 27-year-old Nova Uniao standout will challenge Marcos Galvao for the Bellator MMA bantamweight championship in the Bellator 150 headliner on Friday at the Kansas Star Arena in Mulvane, Kansas. Dantas held the 135-pound title for more than two years, from April 3, 2012 until Oct. 10, 2014.
“Dudu” already holds a victory over Galvao, having knocked out the two-time Brazilian jiu-jitsu world champion in the second round of their Bellator 83 encounter.
