In a raucous barnburner of a fight, Lloyd Woodard channeled “Rocky” to
upset tournament favorite Patricky “Pitbull” Freire in the headliner of
Bellator 62, which took place Friday at Laredo Energy Arena in Laredo,
Texas, and aired live on MTV2.
After a flurry of fists that saw both men hurt, Woodard secured a kimura
and rolled through the joint lock until Freire tapped (and his elbow
popped) at the 1:46 mark of the second frame.
Woodard joined Rick Hawn, Brent Weedman, and Thiago Michel in the semifinals of Bellator’s season-six lightweight tournament.
