Patricky ‘Pitbull’ Freire is the new Bellator lightweight champion after stopping Peter Queally in the second round of their rematch in Dublin.
Queally was the home favourite at Bellator 270, but his patient approach unravelled in the second round when he was repeatedly dropped by Freire.
He follows in the footsteps of his brother Patricio to claim the lightweight strap.
But Queally was left furious by the referee’s decision to stop the fight.
