The former UFC Bantamweight fighter Sergio Pettis stepped into the Bellator ring to challenge the champion, Juan Archuleta, for the Bantamweight title. In the five rounds main event Sergio Pettis displayed a clinical performance and won the fight by the unanimous decision of the judges.

Now, he joined hands with his brother Anthony Pettis who is the former UFC Lightweight champion. After his win, many stars showered blessing on this young talent for becoming the champion.
