Bellator MMA makes its way back to the Winstar Casino in Thakkerville, Oklahoma for Bellator 184. The main event features bantamweight champion Eduardo Dantas as he puts his title on the line against Darrion Caldwell in what should be an excellent fight.
The co-main event pits former Bellator featherweight champion Daniel Straus against fast rising Emmanuel Sanchez. This will be the first time Straus steps back in the Bellator cage since dropping the title in his first defense to Patricio “Pitbull” Freire.
The main card rounds out with an intriguing match-up when John “Macapa” Teixeira takes on Pat Curran and in the bantamweight division Leandro Higo faces Joe Taimanglo.
The prelims will stream on Bellator.com starting at 5:30PM CT with the main card airing on Spike at 8PM CT.
Here are the current odds and my predictions for each fight.
