Bellator MMA’s ‘Pitbull’ brothers, James Gallagher exchange heated words on Instagram

Unfortunately for fans of Patricio Freire, they were unable to watch the Brazilian defend his Bellator MMA featherweight title against Daniel Weichel, as “Pitbull” withdrew from Thursday’s Bellator 188 main event with an injury. This news came just a month after rising Irish star James Gallagher was unable to compete in the Bellator 187 main event due to injury, but a couple of days ago, both Patricio (as well as his brother, Patricky) and Gallagher engaged in a heated exchange on Patricky’s Instagram page.

It all started with Patricky congratulating his teammate Luiz Victor Rocha, who won his Bellator MMA debut last Thursday in Israel.
