In an interview with MMA Junkie, Patricio Freire has claimed that he would like a go at the fighters who people think he isn’t capable of beating or the ones people believe would beat Freire easily.
While signing for the UFC is not on Pibtull’s radar, he would instead prefer to create history with something new in the sport with a big cross-promotion fight.
The current Bellator featherweight champion added that UFC’s Max Holloway could choose to come to Bellator to set up a huge fight. Patricio Freire believes that ‘Blessed’ coming to Bellator would see a change from the top guys in the UFC.
Patricio Freire is one of the two double champions currently in Bellator
Having already won the Bellator featherweight title, Patricio Freire challenged UFC’s newest signee Michael Chandler at Bellator 221. The Brazilian fighter would go on to beat Chandler via first-round TKO to win the Bellator lightweight title.
In doing so, Patricio Freire became the second fighter currently in Bellator to hold two-division world championships at the same time. The other being Ryan Bader, who holds two belts as well.
