Bellator MMA returned on Friday night with Bellator 270 at 3Arena in Dublin, Ireland. In the main event, Patricky Pitbull overcame an early eye poke to steamroll Peter Queally 65 seconds into the second round to claim the vacant lightweight championship.
The title was previously held by Patricky’s brother, Patricio, who vacated the belt to let his brother have a run at the top.
“He (Queally) thought that I was going to kick his leg again. I can kick it anytime. I went to my hand, my power,” Pitbull said after the big win. “I was just relaxing and enjoying the fight. I enjoy the Guinness.
“I fought for 10 years in different places, Japan, Canada, the U.S.A. It doesn’t matter. I am the warrior. I am Brazilian. I am the king of KOs, and now I am the champ! I want to thank my brother for giving me this opportunity. Now, I am the champ and the king.”
