Bellator 141 interview: Patricky Freire motivated by younger brother to become a champion ... and it starts with Saad Awad

Lightweight Patricky Freire and his brother, Featherweight Patricio Freire, are cornerstones around which Bellator MMA has been built for the last five years. In the "tournament era" the Brazilians were a hard out for anybody in their respective weight classes.

Patricky has twice been a runner up in tournaments, while his brother Patricio is a two-time tournament winner who went on defeat Pat Curran for the Featherweight title, successfully defending it twice since.

That's taking nothing away from Patricky, though, a heavy hitter who like his "Pitbull" brother is known for exciting fights and explosive comebacks.
