If you’re looking for reasons to believe that it truly isn’t over until it’s over, look no further than Leandro Higo . Higo, a former RFA and LFA champion, had a bittersweet Bellator introduction. Right off the bat, he was booked to fight for the promotion’s 135-pound title, against then-champ Eduardo Dantas. Given little time for his camp, which he had to balance with his job teaching classes, Higo first lost to the scale – which meant Bellator 177’s headliner would no longer be for the belt. While it was close enough that one of the referees scored the bout in his favor, Higo saw a decision loss snap an eight-fight winning streak. The frustration there was double: Not only did Higo disagree with the call, he wasn’t happy with how Dantas “ran” from him throughout
