Fresh off a win over مارکوس Galvao that crowned him bantamweight champion, the 27-year-old Dantas will look to defend his belt for the first time this year. The elusive Brazilian enters the contest having won 11 of his past 13 به پایان می رسد, including seven finishes, giving him a total of 10 stoppages over his 18 پیروزی حرفه ای. از زمان آغاز تبلیغات خود در 2011, “Dudu” has cemented himself among the Bellator MMA elite, collecting wins in eight of his nine appearances, with the lone loss coming at the hands of his upcoming opponent, جو وارن. After successfully defending his title twice, Dantas lost the belt to Warren via unanimous decision at “Bellator 128.” Now that he has the gold around his waist again, Dantas will need to put forth his best effort to ensure history does not repeat itself against “The Baddest Man on the Planet.”
Warren will be looking to duplicate his success against the feisty Dantas, after defeating him in a five round, 25-minute bloodbath that took place in the same venue nearly two years ago. The win capped off a five-fight winning streak and allowed Warren to unify the 135-pound title. A native of Denver, کلرادو, “The Baddest Man on the Planet” has now emerged victorious in seven of his last nine bouts, including his most recent finish over former UFC competitor سیروان Kakai در "Bellator 161: کنگو در مقابل. Johnson.” در 39 ساله, the former two-division Bellator MMA champion will now attempt to become the oldest fighter to win a championship in Bellator history.
Bellator MMA veteran Pat Curran will enter the cage for the 17هفتم time under the direction of the Scott Coker-led promotion, which will tie him with دیوید Rickels for the most in the promotion’s history. بالای آن, “Paddy Mike” will have the opportunity to join پاتریک "پیتبول" for the most wins in Bellator MMA history, با 13, if he can emerge victorious. Since joining the promotion in 2010, Curran has accrued 12 برنده, including notable victories over current featherweight champion دانیل اشتراوس, former featherweight titleholder Patricio “Pitbull,” and former bantamweight/featherweight king جو وارن. The 29-year-old Crystal Lake, Illinois native comes in on a hot streak, having won two consecutive bouts and nine of his last 12. With two World Title victories and a pair of successful title defenses under his belt, Curran has proven time and time again that his name belongs atop Bellator MMA’s always-competitive featherweight division.
تکسیرای 29 ساله همچنان در بخش پر وزن Bellator MMA نام خود را به دست می آورد, as he makes his fourth appearance under the promotion’s direction. مشابه حریف خود, تیزیرا همچنین در یک رشته موفقیت اخیر قدم به قفس می گذارد, having won three straight and seven of his last eight bouts, including a trio of first-round knockouts. قبل از روزهای حضور در Bellator MMA, تیکسایرا حرفه حرفه ای خود را با مبارزه فقط در برزیل آغاز کرد, ارسال یک رکورد بدون شکست از 12-0 با یک تساوی. این مسابقه پیش رو تنها چهارمین بار در 9 سال فعالیت حرفه ای تیکسیرا است که او در خارج از زادگاه خود برزیل می جنگد. با 14 از خود 19 حرفه برنده آینده از طریق حذفی یا تسلیم, مطمئناً می بینید که "Macapa" زود ضربه می زند و اغلب در این مسابقه آب دهان وجود دارد.
