BELLATOR bantamweight champion Sergio Pettis was left absolutely stunned after catching a huge fish – which weighed nearly the same as him.<\/p>\n

Pettis – the brother of former UFC lightweight champion Anthony – is an avid fisher.<\/p>\n


\n
\n<\/p>\n

But he was left stunned during a session at the Jurrasic Fishing Park in Thailand – where he caught a huge 130lbs carp.<\/p>\n

Sergio shared snaps of himself with the mammoth carp – which was almost the full length of his body – with his 235,000 Instagram followers.<\/p>\n

Bellator's 135lbs champion's accompanying caption read: "I been talking about going to @jurassicfishingpark for years.<\/p>\n

"And thank God they had a day available. Caught a 130-pound carp it fought so hard.<\/p>\n

And another said: "Wowww."<\/p>\n

One remarked: "So the fish is in your weight division."<\/p>\n

Another chimed in: "Your monster carp put up a good fight, but you came out on top!"<\/p>\n

The waters of the Jurassic Mountain Resort Fishing Park are famed for its large fish, with Arapaima, Pacu, Redtail Catfish and Alligator Gar just a few of the species present.<\/p>\n

Former UFC bantamweight Sergio was last in action in June at Bellator 297, where he defeated Patricio Pitbull via decision to retain his title.<\/p>\n

He'll be in action on November 17, defending his crown against Patchy Mix at Bellator 301 in Chicago.<\/p>\n
