Bellator 272 was an event that many had been looking forward to for weeks ever since the main event matchup of bantamweight champion, Sergio Pettis against Rizin Champion, Kyoji Horiguchi. Despite Scott Coker announcing a much anticipated Bantamweight Grand Prix, the two men in the main event wouldn’t let anyone else share the spotlight.
The fight didn’t disappoint, Horiguchi looked to be the matador to Pettis’ bull but eventually, the bull got through and scored what may end up being the knockout of the year.
