Patricio “Pitbull” Freire is about to take part in one of the biggest fights in Bellator history. And he’s hoping that the playing field is level.
Already this year, there have been two high-profile fighters embroiled in drug testing controversies: UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones, and most recently, UFC bantamweight champion T.J. Dillashaw.
Jones caused a stir ahead of his comeback fight at UFC 232 in December when that event was moved from Las Vegas to the Los Angeles area when the Nevada State Athletic Commission refused to grant Jones a temporary license to fight after abnormalities were found in his previous tests.
