[autotag]Sergio Pettis[/autotag] rejected [autotag]Patricio Freire[/autotag]’s bid at history on Friday when he defended his bantamweight belt in the Bellator 297 co-headliner.
Pettis (23-5 MMA, 5-0 BMMA) returned from an 18-month hiatus due to injury and registered his first title defense courtesy of a lopsided victory over Freire (35-6 MMA, 22-6 BMMA), who was unsuccessful in his attempt to capture a third Bellator belt at Wintrust Arena in Chicago.
