Bellator bantamweight champion, Sergio Pettis, has weighed in on point for his first title defense. The new champion has a tall task for his first defense in RIZIN’s Kyoji Horiguchi who previously held the title before dropping it in November 2019 after suffering an injury and vacating the title.
Pettis won his first major world title when he defeated Juan Archuleta at Bellator 258 on May 7, 2021.
The co-main event is a featherweight showdown between former title challenger, Emmanuel Sanchez and Jeremy Kennedy.
Unfortunately, not all of the fighters made their contracted weight. Jared Scoggins weighed in four pounds over his 136 pound limit at 140 pounds. His opponent, Josh Hill, made weight.
