This was a close call.
Towards the end of the first round of last night's fight between Patricio 'Pitbull' Freire and Daniel Weichel at Bellator 138, it looked like there could only be one winner.

Weichel tried to press home his advantage in round 2, but Freire obliterated him with this epic knockout to retain his featherweight title.
