Bellator 55 is going down this Saturday, October 22, in Yuma Arizona. The main attraction of the event is the bantamweight GP semifinals, where Nova União black belts Eduardo “Dudu” Dantas and former WEC fighter Marcos “Lôro” Galvão will both be looking for spots in the final. While “Dudu” will be taking on the game Ed West, Lôro will have his work cut out for him against hard-hitting Cuban wrestler Alexis Villa.
Also featuring on the card, Brazil’s Ricardo Tirlona, who has just one loss in 14 outings, will face off with Steve Gable, a black belt from Gracie Barra San Diego.
In the last fight of the night, light heavyweight champion Christian M’Pumbo squares off with veteran Travis Wiuff.
