Marcos Galvao and Eduardo Dantas will square off in the Bellator MMA cage once again -- this time with the roles reversed.
The California-based promotion announced on Wednesday that Galvao will defend his bantamweight title against Dantas in the headliner of Bellator 144 on Oct. 23. The event takes place at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn., and airs on Spike TV at 9 p.m. ET/8 p.m. CT.
The two Brazilians first fought in February 2014, with Dantas defending his 135-pound strap via second-round knockout at Bellator 89.
