‘Pitbull’ brothers sign multi-fight extensions with Bellator

The “Pitbull” brothers are sticking around in Bellator.

On Wednesday afternoon, Bellator officials announced it had reached an exclusive, multi-fight fight extensions with Patricio and Patricky Freire.

Patricio (28-4), the promotion’s reigning featherweight champion, first broke into the promotion at Bellator 15 in April 2010. The younger “Pitbull” brother currently holds the record for most wins (16) and finishes (10) in Bellator history. During this run of dominance, fans saw Patricio win Bellator’s Season Two and Season Nine featherweight tournaments while also winning their featherweight title on two separate occasions. He also holds notable wins over former champions Pat Curran and Daniel Straus (2x) as well as Henry Corrales, Daniel Weichel (2x) and Wilson Reis.
