The first meeting between Patricio ‘Pitbull’ Freire and Emmanuel Sanchez ended with Pitbull’s hand being raised, but Sanchez has already struck a blow ahead of their rematch.
Freire defends his 145-pound title against Sanchez in Friday’s Bellator 255 main event at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn. They first fought in a championship bout at Bellator 209 in November 2018, and Freire defeated Sanchez by unanimous decision to retain the title.
Following Thursday’s ceremonial weigh-ins, Sanchez was handed the mic by commentator Mauro Ranallo and he proceeded to cut a rhyming and rhythmic promo on the champ.
