Patricio Pitbull is still the undisputed king of the Bellator featherweight division.
Facing Emmanuel Sanchez (20-5) for a second time, Pitbull (32-4) made short work of his rival in Friday’s Bellator 255 main event, latching on a guillotine choke and leaving Sanchez unconscious at the 3:35 mark of round one. With the win, Pitbull recorded his fifth straight successful defense of the Bellator featherweight championship.
The end came after Pitbull began to push the pace in what had been a methodical affair up to that point. He caught Sanchez with a combination and then again with a right hook that had an advancing Sanchez off-balance.
