The Bellator featherweight champion already knows who he wants to fight next, and it’s a surprisingly familiar opponent. After defeating Adam Borics at Bellator 286, Patricio Freire believes it may be time for the to settle the score against A.J. McKee in a rubber match for the belt.
In an interview with Ag Fight, ‘Pitbull’ talked about Aaron Pico’s shoulder injury and how it stopped the prospect from scoring a win and making himself the likely next title challenger. With no other clear contenders in sight, the Brazilian sees the current situation as an opportunity for his trilogy against McKee.
