Current Bellator bantamweight champion (up to 61,2kg), Sergio Pettis made it clear what his goals are for 2022. In an interview with 'MMA Junkie', reinforced the desire to win the category's GP, scheduled for this season, and reinforced the dream of winning the US$1 million prize (around R$5,6 million), given to the winner of the tournament.

“I'm happy to participate in a GP. I've never had that in my career, so at 28 years old, I'm going to have the chance to fight for $1 million. I'm not in control of this. Whatever the universe throws at me, I'm ready to take it on, so if I have to fight a teammate or an athlete I just fought, I'll do whatever it takes to get to my goal. I have it written into my goals of becoming a millionaire by age 30, so I think that will definitely be an option in 2022,” said Pettis.
Hired by Bellator in 2020, the 'Phenomenon' had four fights in the organization and remains undefeated so far. In May 2020, the greatest moment of his career occurred: by beating Juan Archuleta in a unanimous decision between judges, he won the bantamweight belt. Last December, he was successful in his first title defense by knocking out Kyoji Horiguchi in the fourth round.
