Patricky ‘Pitbull’ battled depression after loss to Derek Anderson
Patricky Freire rematches Derek Anderson Friday night in San Jose, and reveals their first bout happened during one of the worst times of his life.
"Pitbull" and "Barbaric" battled for the first time on Sept. 7, 2013, at the Mohegan Sun Arena, and the Brazilian dropped to 0-3 with a unanimous decision loss. Freire, finished by Lloyd Woodard and Eddie Alvarez in previous Bellator headliners, was living and training in Rio de Janeiro, 1,500 miles away from his hometown Natal, and that became an issue.
