Nobody celebrated as much as Sergio Pettis did on Friday night at Bellator 297, except perhaps his brother Anthony Pettis.
In the co-main event of Bellator 297, the younger Pettis sibling successfully defended his Bellator bantamweight title against Patricio Pitbull, thwarting Pitbull’s bid to make history as the first three-division champion in a major MMA organization. Sergio put on a dominant performance, claiming a five-round decision victory over Pitbull with judges’ scores of 50-45, 50-45, and 49-46.
Pitbull had generated significant buzz leading up to the event, with his pursuit of the historic accomplishment making headlines. Adding to the challenge for Pettis was the fact that this was his first fight since December 2021, following a torn ACL suffered in 2022. Nevertheless, the older Pettis brother maintained unwavering belief in Sergio’s abilities.
After Sergio’s triumphant win, Anthony took to Twitter to share his winning betting ticket for the fight, revealing that he had wagered on his underdog brother. It appears that Anthony’s gamble paid off handsomely, as he ultimately pocketed a staggering payout of $122,500 from his $50,000 bet at +145 odds. You can view his post below.
