Bellator 272 is ending the year 2021 with a bang as it hosts the bantamweight title fight of Sergio Pettis vs Kyoji Horiguchi. The two bantamweight stars take on each other in a five-round fight in the main event.

Sergio Pettis is making his first title defense in his MMA career as the bantamweight champion of Bellator MMA. The former UFC fighter is undefeated in the new promotion and is facing one of the greatest Bellator fighters on Friday. The fight takes place at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn. Bellator 272 was streamed live on SHOWTIME.

Kyoji returns to the Bellator after vacating the title in 2019 due to an injury and both the fighters put on an absolute electrifying show for the fans in the main event. The bantamweight champion stunned the entire world as he knocked out the Japanese contender with a spinning back fist in the fourth round.
