When Patricky Freire rematches Peter Queally in the Bellator 270 main event on Friday at 3Arena in Dublin, he will do so with the fate of the vacant Bellator MMA lightweight title hanging in the balance.
It could conceivably amount to a last-chance opportunity for the 35-year-old Brazilian, who failed in his bid to capture the 155-pound crown in 2016. Freire enters the cage on the heels of back-to-back losses. He last competed at Bellator 258, where a second-round cut ended his first encounter with Queally prematurely on May 7.
