Bellator is hosting one of the year’s biggest cards when it touches down in the windy city for Bellator 297 in Chicago.
The main event features a light heavyweight title scrap between reigning champion Vadim Nemkov and UFC veteran and fan favorite, Yoel Romero. Elsewhere on the card is a 205-pound title eliminator bout between Corey Anderson and Phil Davis who will duke it out for the next shot at the champion.
But, perhaps the biggest storyline comes in the co-main event when Sergio Pettis returns from a long layoff to defend his title against Patricio Pitbull who is looking to make history by being the first man in a major MMA promotion to win three titles across three divisions.
Here’s how the whole card played out.
