Marcos Galvao defends bantamweight title in main event of Bellator 156 in rematch against Eduardo Dantas

Bellator will be returning to the Save Mart Center in Fresno, California on June 17 for Bellator 156 and the fight card will be headlined by a title fight rematch as Marcos Galvao will defend the bantamweight title against former champion Eduardo Dantas.

The fight booking was announced by Bellator in a press release on Monday.

This is the third time that Bellator has booked the rematch between Galvao and Dantas. They were initially scheduled to meet at Bellator 144, but an injury suffered by Dantas forced the fight to be delayed until February at Bellator 150 and that fight was scratched when Galvao came down with an illness during fight week.

Tickets for Bellator 156: Galvao vs. Dantas II start at $25 and go on sale Thursday, March 24 at Ticketmaster, Bellator.com and the Save Mart Center Box Office.
