Bellator MMA featherweight champion, Patricio Pitbull has been released from his contract with the PFL (Professional Fighters League) tonight according to promotional co-founder, Donn Davis, via a post on his official X account.
Pitbull, a former undisputed lightweight titleholder under the banner of Bellator MMA, retains the featherweight championship having most recently competed at Bellator Champions Series 1 back in March of last year, successfully defending his crown with a third round TKO win over title challenger, Jeremy Kennedy.
However, in recent weeks on social media, the Brazilian veteran has constantly requested his release from his contract with the PFL, citing his displeasure with his activity over the course of the last year — where he was joined in disputes by fellow Bellator MMA champions, Corey Anderson, and bantamweight best, Patchy Mix.
