Things are heating up ahead of Patrico Freire’s rematch with Daniel Weichel at Bellator 203 in Rome on July 19, but Weichel is adamant that the Brazilian champion’s recent PED accusation is nothing more than promotional hype.
On Monday, Freire not-so-subtley accused his challenger of PED use on Twitter based on the transformation he believes the German’s body has gone through over the last 20 days.
Although Weichel traded shots with “Pitbull” on the social media platform, he later commented on the matter to MMA Fighting.
Weichel believes that Freire is merely trying to stoke the flames surrounding the fight.
