Patricio Freire was left devastated at Bellator 145 when he was edged out on the scorecards by Daniel Straus and lost the featherweight title. But when “Pitbull” was handed the chance to avenge that defeat in a rematch  17 months later at Bellator 178 – their fourth meeting inside the Bellator cage – he made sure he left no doubt. He reclaimed the title in style at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn.
