Bellator has announced a pair of main card additions for December 2nd’s Bellator 166 with at Bantamweight LC Davis meeting Marcos Galvao and Chris Honeycuut faces Ben Reiter at Middleweight.
Davis will be returning to action for the first time since a September 2015, unanimous decision loss to Joe Warren ended a 3 fight win streak. Galvao the former Bellator Bantamweight champion is coming off losing his title and having a 4 fight win streak ended by a unanimous decision loss to Eduardo Dantas.

Reiter has 7 of his 9 stoppage wins by knock out and is coming off a unanimous decision win over AJ Matthews, rebounding from a Bellator 146 submission loss to Francisco France.
