Bellator 270 Results: Queally vs. Pitbull 2
Bellator 270 took place on November 5, 2021, at the 3Arena in Dublin, Ireland. Patricky Freire stopped Peter Queally to win the vacant lightweight championship, while Patchy Mix submitted James Gallagher in a catchweight co-main event after missing weight. Pedro Carvalho also earned an important featherweight decision against Daniel Weichel.
The Main Event: Queally vs. Pitbull 2
The main event was a rematch between Peter Queally and Patricky “Pitbull” Freire for the vacant lightweight title. The two fighters had previously faced off in a brutal fight six months prior, which Queally won due to a cut on Pitbull’s scalp. However, the rematch at Bellator 270 saw Pitbull emerge victorious, winning the lightweight championship via a second-round TKO at 1:05.
The Dublin crowd was highly enthusiastic, singing along to Queally’s entrance music of “Zombie” by The Cranberries, even after the song had stopped. Despite the crowd’s support, Queally was unable to secure a win, and Pitbull’s victory marked a significant moment in Bellator history, as he became a Bellator champion after his brother Patricio had previously held the lightweight belt.
Co-Main Event: Gallagher vs. Mix
The co-main event featured a catchweight bout between James Gallagher and Patchy Mix after Mix missed weight. Mix, who had won three of his four fights in Bellator, including a 66-second submission of Ricky Bandejas, faced off against Gallagher, a fan-favorite in Ireland. The fight ended with Mix defeating Gallagher via a third-round submission at 0:39, using a guillotine choke.
Other Key Matchups and Results
The event also featured a number of other key matchups. Pedro Carvalho defeated Daniel Weichel via unanimous decision, while Ilias Bulaid won against Georges Sasu via split decision. On the preliminary card, Ciaran Clarke defeated Jordan Barton via a third-round submission, and Daniele Scatizzi won against Brian Hooi via unanimous decision.
Event Highlights
Bellator 270 was a event that showcased the skills and determination of its fighters. The main event rematch between Queally and Pitbull was a highlight, with Pitbull’s victory marking a significant moment in Bellator history. The co-main event between Gallagher and Mix was also a standout, with Mix’s third-round submission victory demonstrating his skill and prowess in the ring.
The two headline finishes carried different rewards. Freire won a vacant championship, while Mix earned a contender victory in a non-title bout. Carvalho’s decision over Weichel and Clarke’s third-round submission of Jordan Barton supplied successful performances for fighters familiar to the Irish audience.
Why the Event Mattered
The lightweight rematch reversed the result of the first encounter, giving Freire both a victory over Queally and his first Bellator title. Mix’s guillotine illustrated the effectiveness of his submission game over a longer contest. The Dublin card was therefore shaped by two distinct finishes rather than a single championship storyline.
