Dudu Dantas is a 33 year old fighter out of Brail. He’s also been a longtime fighter at Bellator FC. But he’s since gotten released from the promotion – and landed at Fighting Alliance Championship.
This brings us to present date. During the FAC 12 card held on February 6th Dantas delivered a spectacular head kick KO. He managed to knock out Jose Alday with the kick and even followed up with a single hammerfist to make sure the fight is called.
HEAD KICK OUT OF NOWHERE?

Now Dantas’ new home – FAC airs on UFC Fightpass. This prompted Dantas to have a peculiar statement in his post fight interview. Dantas reportedly called himself a “two time champion in an American organization”.
LOL Eduardo Dantas just said “I’m a 2x champion in an American organization” which is code for “I am not allowed to mention Bellator” #FAC12 on UFC Fight Pass

Everyone watching agrees Dantas upstaged the entire card – yet he still wasn’t signed to the UFC. The only fighter to get signed after the FAC card was Dulgarian.
5 wins, 5 first round finishes for @Isaac_Dulgarian ?
