The featherweight champ of Bellator MMA, Pitbull is hoping to avenge his brother, who was previously knocked out by Chandler.
The action doesn’t stop there. Michael ‘Venom’ Page takes on Douglas Lima in a welterweight Grand Prix semi-final, with a shot at the title on the line. A.J. McKee, with the longest undefeated streak in Bellator history, was taking on former champ Pat Curran at featherweight. And Jack Swagger, real name Jake Hager, was heading into the second fight, having made the transition from WWE superstar to mixed martial artist.
