Will Brooks Claims Patricio Freire Attacked Him In Hotel, ‘Pitbull’ Denies

Bellator featherweight champion Patricio “Pitbull” Freire and Bellator lightweight champ Will Brooks (pictured) will be defending their respective titles Friday at Bellator 145, but that didn’t stop the archenemies from mixing it up Wednesday in a St. Louis hotel lobby.

Brooks took to Twitter to share their brawl with the MMA world.

“Pitbull brothers showed me what cowards they are,’ Brooks wrote. “They jumped me while I was on the phone with my mom.” Fucking cowards jump me while I’m on the phone with my mom… Sucker punched me like the trash that they are. Pussies had to sucker punch me with all their people around while I’m by myself.
