Filed under: Bellator , Featured , Featured Videos , News , Videos When the scores are 50-45, 50-44 and 50-43, you know one fighter put one heck of a beating on the other. In this case, it was Eduardo Dantas (18-4 MMA, 8-2 BMMA) who reigned supreme in the one-sided bout, and it earned him Bellator’s bantamweight title – and a 2-0 series lead over his former teacher – against now-ex-champ Marcos Galvao (17-7-1 MMA, 7-4 BMMA). The fight headlined Friday’s Bellator 156 event at Save Mart Center in Fresno, Calif. The main card aired on Spike following prelims on MMAjunkie. Dantas, who reclaimed the belt he lost to Joe Warren in 2014, was simply too quick and too accurate for Galvao, who also suffered a title loss to then-champ Dantas in 2013. In the co-headliner, welterweight Chidi Njokuani (15-4 MMA, 2-0 BMMA) simply picked apart and ultimately dismantled late replacement Thiago Jambo Goncalves (18-5 MMA, 0-1 BMMA) with a prolific display of punches and kicks
