Can Patricio Pitbull get the job done in his UFC debut?
After notching 30 fights under the Bellator MMA banner and capturing multiple world titles with the promotion, Pitbull will make his long-awaited Octagon debut this Saturday night at UFC 314 in Miami. There, the former two-division titleholder will meet ex-interim champ Yair Rodriguez in a fight that could produce the next featherweight title challenger.
As exciting as it is to finally see Pitbull make the walk to the Octagon, the fact remains that he’s a few short months away from turning 38 years, leaving many, including former middleweight king Michael Bisping, to wonder whether or not Pitbull can still compete among the best mixed martial artists in the world.
