On July 13, Eduardo Dantas stepped into the cage at Bellator 202 looking to bounce back from his first loss in three years. The loss, which had taken place nine months prior, had cost Dantas the bantamweight title that he’d conquered for a second time. But Dantas didn’t get his recovery. Instead, events that took place in less than 60 seconds would lead to two unfortunate first-time events. After Michael McDonald TKO’d him , Dantas (20-6 MMA, 10-4 BMMA) saw himself on the first losing skid of his more than decade-long career. And then, not too long afterward, he saw himself lying on an operating table for the first time in his life.
