Bellator bantamweight champion Eduardo Dantas has one objective for this Friday at Bellator 177.
Dantas will headline the Spike card from Budapest against Leandro Higo, who stepped in as a replacement for Darrion Caldwell and will be making his promotional debut.
“I’m very happy to be here. I want to say thank you to my opponent for accepting this fight,” Dantas said. “And I’m ready to show you what I do best, which is to punch his face.”
The 28-year-old Dantas has won three straight, all via decision, including a win last June that netted him the Bellator title by besting Marcos Galvao. He defended it successfully vs. Joe Warren in December and is now 19-4 in his career.
“Thank you to Bellator for supporting me and thank you Budapest for the opportunity,” Dantas said.
