In a dominant performance, Patricio Freire defended the featherweight title in a bloody, twenty-five minute fight against challenger Juan Archuleta at Bellator 228. After five hard-fought rounds, ‘Pitbull’ kept his belt in Inglewood, California, and professional fighters and journalists reacted to the fight on Twitter.
2-0 Pitbull...Archuleta needs to pick up the pace. He will. Great movement and I know he has that great @treigning_lab conditioning. #Bellator228

Looks like Pitbull will retain.
