Bellator 286 results, takeaways: Why Patricio Pitbull remains the promotion's all-time best

Patricio Pitbull is the most decorated fighter in Bellator MMA history. Pit Bull made the first defense of his third reign as featherweight champion in the main event. AJ McKee successfully returned from his first pro defeat.

Patricio Pitbull won his second Bellator title in five rounds against Adam Borics. Pit Bull is the best fighter Bellateria has ever known.

Spike Carlyle won his lightweight debut against McKee. Carlye's athleticism and fearless tendencies helped him to produce magic.  

Patricio Pitbull was hoping to fight Aaron Pico one more time before moving to bantamweight. The PICO fight fell apart because of a shoulder injury. Pit Bull and McKee's trilogy is coming to an end. Next year's Bellator MMA Lightweight World Grand Prix will keep McKe for nearly two years.

McKee won his first fight despite losing to Carlyle. He passed all the physical tests. He will be stronger for having lost.

Pico dislocated his shoulder in Round 1 against Kennedy. The fight was stopped. Pico showed the heart of a champion and the commitment to keep fighting. He will probably not get a title shot against Pitbull.
