Kurt Pellegrino retires after loss at Bellator 59
by Hubert Lau on November 27, 2011

Kurt Pellegrino calls it a career after suffering a loss at Bellator 59 according to mmafighting.com.

"I started my career in Atlantic City and I wanted to end it in Atlantic City as well. I lost fair and square. I love you all so much. This is the last time you'll ever see me fight again," Pellegrino said.

Pellegrino fought Patricky Freire at Bellator 59 and was defeated via TKO just 50 seconds in to the bout. Many in attendance booed the stoppage as premature since Pellegrino looked to have been intelligently defending himself when the referee stepped in.

Pellegrino fought in 23 bouts in his MMA career, going 7-5 with the UFC. Memorable bouts include a Fight of the Night worthy performance with Thiago Tavares at UFC 88 and a Submission of the Night award over Fabricio Camoes with a rear naked choke.
