Patricky Freire went from facing prospect Goiti Yamauchi to talking on MMA veteran Roger Huerta at Friday’s Bellator 205 in Boise, Idaho, but one thing hasn’t changed: his fight prediction.
When the 36-fight veteran replaced the young jiu-jitsu expert against “Pitbull” at Bellator 205, the Brazilian had to adapt his training routine to focus on stopping Huerta’s takedowns instead of working more on triangle and armbar defenses, one of Yamauchi’s specialties.
”Roger Huerta has a big name in MMA, everybody knows he’s tough, he’s a warrior,” Freire told MMA Fighting.
