Plenty of Bite Left

Champions can never rest—a reality Patricio Freire knows all too well.

“Pitbull” will defend his Bellator MMA featherweight title against Adam Borics in the Bellator 286 headliner on Saturday at Long Beach Arena in Long Beach, California, where the Brazilian looks to build on his resume as the most decorated and accomplished fighter in the promotion’s history. Freire spent his entire training camp at Pitbull Brothers headquarters in Natal, Brazil.

“We analyzed Adam’s game well,” Freire said, “and we have a great fight plan.”

Borics, 29, enters the cage on the strength of a four-fight winning streak that spans more than two years.
