Joe Warren unified the bantamweight championship last night (Fri., Oct. 10, 2014) in the Spike TV main event of Bellator 128 and in the process, shinned Eduardo Dantas with a bone to the dome in the waning minutes of their 135-pound affair. "The Baddest Man on the Planet" -- who insists he was simply trying to push off the cage -- received a stern talking-to from veteran referee "Big" John McCarthy, but no point deduction, and managed to leave the Winstar World Casino in Thackerville, Oklahoma, with the belt around his waist.
