Bellator featherweight champion Patricio Freire will try to accomplish an impressive feat in his next outing. Having also conquered the promotion’s lightweight champion and deliberately vacating it, ‘Pitbull’ is now set to fight for the bantamweight belt against Sergio Pettis.
In an interview with Combate, Freire explained that the motivation to overcome new challenges in his career is what makes him accept fights at this stage. Though he knows Pettis is a dangerous opponent, the Brazilian feels no pressure ahead of the fight and believes such a fight is exactly what he needs to keep evolving as an athlete.
