Dantas, 17-4, went on to defend the title he won that day against Anthony Leone before losing it to Joe Warren at Bellator 128.
Galvao, 17-6, then pieced together three consecutive victories and was awarded a shot at Warren and his bantamweight crown. The matchup resulted in an impressive second-round technical submission (kneebar), and a new champion.
Galvao-Dantas 2 was originally scheduled for Bellator 150, but was scrapped following a last-minute illness suffered by Galvao.
