Bellator featherweight champion Patricio Pitbull successfully defended his title and advanced to the quarter final of the Bellator featherweight grand prix by defeating Juan Archuleta by unanimous decision (49-46, 50-45, 49-46).
What was the high point of the fight?
Pitbull had a good first round, dropping Archuleta and following up with a big onslaught but “The Spaniard” did a good job of surviving. After a fairy uneventful second round, Pitbull dropped Archuleta again in the third with a straight, and almost wrapped up a guillotine choke at the end of the round.
Archuleta needed to go all-out in the fifth as Pitbull clearly had a few rounds under his belt, but he couldn’t get the better of the Brazilian as Pitbull ended the fight on a strong note, taking Archuleta down in the dying moments.
