Patricio Freire and brother Patricky have not fought on the same card as each other during their long runs with Bellator MMA. The two are hoping that changes — and they see Rome as the best possible place for a “Pitbull” brother one-two punch.
“We are gladiators of the third millennium and Rome is the cradle of the gladiators,” Patricio Freire told MMA Fighting on Thursday. “We’ll make history fighting on the same card and putting on great performances that will make people want to tune in even if on tape delay. The audience knows there aren’t fighters more violent than us, and once they hear they’ll get double the violence they’ll be interested for sure.
