Vancouver born fighter Jeremy Kennedy dominated Pedro Carvalho yesterday to earn a featherweight title shot against Patrício Pitbull.

Jeremy started his fighting journey with local MMA coach Shawn Albrecht at the young age of 13.

Jeremy quickly soared through the MMA ranks with a impressive 8-0 record in BFL to start his career.

Jeremy was then signed to the UFC and went 3-0 before facing off against now pound for pound #1 fighter in the world Alexander Volkanovski. Volkanovski ended Kennedys 11-0 win streak and Kennedy left the UFC to pressure other opportunities.

Kennedy bounced around promotions for a little bit, picking up a few wins before landing in Bellator MMA. Jeremy won his first few fights in Bellator and was matched up against rising star Aaron Pico. Not many people expected Kennedy to win this fight, but Jeremy got the job done by doctor stoppage after the first round.

After his win over Aaron Pico, Jeremy was given a co main event fight against Pedro Carvalho. Pedro was ranked #3 at featherweight coming into this fight and Jeremy was ranked #5. It made sense that whoever won this fight would get a title fight against Pitbull.

Jeremy dominated the fight using his far superior wrestling skills and abilities. However, Jeremy wasn’t able to get the finish even after controlling the fight for three full rounds. He eventually got the 30-27 unanimous decision win. Fans weren’t incredibly happy with Jeremy’s win as some thought it was boring but Jeremy didn’t seem to care. After the fight he got on the microphone and through the boo’s called out Pitbull for his next fight.

Let’s hope Jeremy Kennedy VS Patrício Pitbull is the next fight for the Bellator featherweight title.
