Bellator 252 is in the books, and the four semifinalists for the promotion’s featherweight tournament are now set in stone.
While AJ McKee and Darrion Caldwell will fight next week, tonight’s show saw Patricio “Pitbull” Freire successfully and easily defend his title against Pedro Carvalho. Awaiting him in the semis in what doubles as a championship defense is a familiar foe in Emmanuel Sanchez, who took apart Daniel Weichel in their rematch.
Patricio Freire def. Pedro Carvalho by KO (punches) at 2:10 of round 1
Not really a whole lot to say here other than Patricio is tremendous and Carvalho is not on his level.
