Former Bellator bantamweight champion Eduardo Dantas will return to the Bellator cage on March 27th at Bellator 135 and will meet Mike Richman in a key bantamweight bout.
The fight booking was made official by Bellator on Thursday.
Bellator 135 will come from the WinStar World Casino in Thackerville, Oklahoma and will be headlined by Joe Warren defending the Bellator bantamweight title against Marcos Galvao.
Dantas (16-4) lost the Bellator bantamweight title in October when he lost a decision to Warren in the main event of Bellator 128. It was his first defeat to take place in the Bellator cage and he is 6-2 in his last eight fights. Richman (18-5) has won back to back fights since dropping down to the bantamweight division and both of the victories have come by knockout in the first round. His most recent victory came at Bellator 131 last month as he stopped Nam Phan in 46 seconds.
More details on the entire Bellator 135 fight card is expected to be announced shortly by the promotion.
