Bellator featherweight champion Patricio Pitbull: 'I'm positive I'd beat Aldo'

Bellator MMA featherweight champion Patricio Freire talks about his thrilling win over Daniel Weichel, and how he'd match up against UFC fighters.

There is a Brazilian MMA featherweight champion who is one of the best fighters in the world, and his name isn't Jose Aldo. Bellator MMA's Patricio Freire is two weeks removed from his unbelievable knockout win over Daniel Weichel, which came not too long after he was nearly stopped at the end of the 1st round by the challenger. Pitbull is 24-2 with his only losses coming by split decision to Pat Curran (a loss he later avenged), and Joe Warren, which was a widely regarded robbery.
