Bellator 242 results & video: Sergio Pettis outpoints Ricky Bandejas, Aaron Pico earns first career sub

The Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, Connecticut was the setting for Bellator 242, as the promotion had its first show since the global pandemic hit. The night was capped off in the bantamweight division with Roufusport’s Sergio Pettis earning three 30-27 scores against American Top Team’s Ricky Bandejas. It was the pressure striking of Pettis that kept Bandejas moving backwards and unable to mount much offense coming forward. Sergio looked a lot like the Sergio we are all used to seeing, doing enough to get the win, but not severely hurting his opponent at any point. Nonetheless, this makes two up and two down for Pettis under the Bellator umbrella, extending his overall winning streak to three.
