Call your shot and it may be granted.
British Columbia’s own Jeremy Kennedy has been on a tear against the top contenders in Bellator’s featherweight division and following his last victory he called for a title shot against the champ Patricio Pitbull.
Early reports had Kennedy facing Ireland’s James Gallagher on the March 22 Belfast card, however, Bellator came out with a post on their Instagram page on Wednesday and an official press release on Thursday stating that the Xtreme Couture product would in fact be getting the title fight against Pitbull. Gallagher now has a new opponent for the inaugural Bellator Champions Series event, Brazil’s Leandro Higo.
