Pedro Carvalho: ‘Childish’ Overconfidence Cost Me Against ‘Pitbull’

The first time Pedro Carvalho lost two fights in a row, he bounced back with six straight wins, including four in the Bellator MMA cage, paving his way to the featherweight title then held by Patricio Freire. After that unsuccessful title shot, followed by another TKO loss to Jay-Jay Wilson in his next fight, “The Game” finds himself on the second losing streak of his young career. As he heads into Bellator 270 this week against Daniel Weichel, the 26-year-old spoke to Sherdog about what went wrong in those two fights, and his confidence that once again, he can turn things around.
