Patricky Freire invites Eddie Alvarez back to Bellator, vows to KO him in rematch

Eddie Alvarez became the first fighter to knock Patricky Freire out when they met almost six years ago at Bellator 76, and the Brazilian fighter wants to return the favor.

Former UFC and Bellator lightweight champion Alvarez became a free agent following his recent rematch with Dustin Poirier in July. “Pitbull”, who is currently scheduled to face veteran Roger Huerta on Sept. 21, told MMA Fighting he’s willing to welcome Alvarez back to the promotion if a title shot isn’t next for him after Bellator 205.
