Bellator 205 results: Patricky Freire goes to war with Roger Huerta, scores KO finish

BOISE, Idaho – It didn’t come easy, but Patricky Freire (20-8 MMA, 13-7 BMMA) went toe-to-toe with Roger Huerta (24-11-1 MMA, 0-2 BMMA), who was the first man to fall, giving “Pitbull” a second-round knockout win.

The lightweight bout kicked off the Bellator 205 main card, which aired on Paramount from CenturyLink Arena in Boise, Idaho.

Huerta took the center early, exchanging punches and kicks with Freire, who circled on the outside. Freire landed the cleanest shots in the early flurries, including a powerful straight right before Huerta came alive with several nasty hooks of his own. Freire settled quickly, and when he laced out straight punches, they often found their mark, bloodying is opponent’s nose. But Huerta refused to back down, standing firm in the pocket and rifling off more looping shots that dazed his foe. Feeling the pressure, Freire shot inside for a takedown, finishing the round in top position.

The two went right back to work to star the second, throwing everything with full power. Freire landed a big left hand that dropped Huerta, but he wouldn’t go away that easy. Somehow getting back his feet, Huerta threw back and eventually caught a kick, sending Freire to the floor. But Freire used a big upkick to create space, moving to his feet and then landing a big right hand that sent Huerta crashing to the floor, this time ending the fight at the 0:43 mark of the frame.

After the win, his fourth straight, Freire called for a shot at current lightweight champ.

“I want the best,” Freire said. “Brent Primus, I want to take the belt and take your head. I want to put your face on the mat. Let’s do this.”
