Issues acquired a little bit extra attention-grabbing within the second as Stots appeared to clip Pettis with an alternate, knocking him to the canvas. Stots instantly jumped into half-guard, choosing up proper the place he left off within the first. As soon as on high, Stots by no means relinquished management, holding Pettis’ again to the canvas and strolling again to his stool with issues doubtlessly tied up towards the previous Bellator bantamweight champion.
