New Horizons for Patricky Freire

Patricky Freire always aims high.

The former Bellator MMA lightweight champion will make his Professional Fighters League debut opposite Clay Collard in a featured PFL 2 attraction this Friday inside The Theater at Virgin Hotels in Las Vegas. It represents Freire’s first step toward a potential $1 million payday at the conclusion of the 2024 season in the new-look PFL. No matter how the campaign ultimately unfolds, “Pitbull,” now 38, sounds like a man who has grown comfortable in his own skin.

“I’m very happy with my accomplishments,” Freire said.
