Eduardo Dantas is no longer a Bellator fighter.
The two-time bantamweight champion told MMA Fighting that his contract expired after his past bout, a featherweight loss to Juan Archuleta in June 2019. “Dudu” wasn’t aware at the time that it was the final bout of his deal, and thinks it was for the better.
“I fought in June and planned on fighting again in November or December,” Dantas said, “But I had a trip coming up, and then the coronavirus pandemic started, and that’s when I realized my contract was already over. If I were to re-sign with them, it would be for two more years.
