Ex-two-weight Bellator MMA champion, Patricio Pitbull is set for his long-anticipated Octagon debut at UFC 314 in April, booking a first outing in the promotion against former interim featherweight kingpin, Yair Rodriguez at the Kaseya Center in Miami, Florida.
Pitbull, a former undisputed Bellator MMA featherweight and lightweight champion, was granted his release from the PFL (Professional Fighter League) upon request at the beginning of this year, citing his frustration with a lack of activity on his return clash.
As for former interim featherweight champion, Rodriguez, the Mexican striker currently holds the number five rank in the division, remaining sidelined since an arm-triangle submission loss to two-fight rival, Brian Ortega at UFC Fight Night Mexico City back in February of last year.
