Fresh off a win over മാർകോസിന്റെ 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 അറ്റത്ത്, including seven finishes, giving him a total of 10 stoppages over his 18 ജീവിതം വിജയം. Since making his promotional debut in 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, ജോ വാറൻ. 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, കൊളറാഡോ, “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 Sirwan Kakai ഭൂതകാല "Bellator 161: കോംഗോ വി.എസ്. Johnson.” At 39 വയസ്സായിരുന്നു, 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 17^ആം time under the direction of the Scott Coker-led promotion, which will tie him with ഡേവിഡ് Rickels for the most in the promotion’s history. ആ മുകളിൽ, “Paddy Mike” will have the opportunity to join Patricio “Pitbull” for the most wins in Bellator MMA history, കൂടെ 13, if he can emerge victorious. Since joining the promotion in 2010, Curran has accrued 12 വിജയങ്ങൾ, including notable victories over current featherweight champion ഡാനിയൽ സ്ട്രൗസ്, former featherweight titleholder Patricio “Pitbull,” and former bantamweight/featherweight king ജോ വാറൻ. 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.

 

The 29-year-old Teixeira continues to make a name for himself in Bellator MMA’s featherweight division, as he makes his fourth appearance under the promotion’s direction. Similar to his opponent, Teixeira also steps into the cage on a recent string of success, having won three straight and seven of his last eight bouts, including a trio of first-round knockouts. Prior to his days with Bellator MMA, Teixeira began his professional career fighting exclusively in Brazil, posting an undefeated record of 12-0 with one draw. The upcoming bout marks only the fourth time in Teixeira’s nine year career that he will fight outside of his native Brazil. കൂടെ 14 അവന്റെ 19 കരിയർ നോക്കൗട്ട് അല്ലെങ്കിൽ സമർപ്പിക്കൽ വഴി വരുന്നു കിരീടം, you can be sure to see “Macapa” go for the finishing blow early and often in this mouthwatering matchup.
