Bellator champ Patricky Freire calls for super fight vs. AJ McKee, vows to avenge his brother

Only a couple of days after winning the Bellator lightweight belt, Patricky Freire already looks forward to his first title defense, and would not discard a super fight. Following his TKO victory over Peter Queally at Bellator 270, ‘Pitbull’ now looks at featherweight champ AJ McKee, the man who last defeated Freire’s brother Patricio.

In an interview with Super Lutas, Freire explained that beating McKee would be like returning the favor to his brother, who knocked out Michael Chandler to avenge his previous losses. Nonetheless, even if the champion cannot have AJ in his first defense, he promises to put away anyone who faces him next.
