On May 11th, one of the biggest title fights in Bellator MMA history will go down in Rosemont, Illinois. Reigning featherweight champion Patricio “Pitbull” Freire is moving up to lightweight to take on titleholder Michael Chandler, who won the belt back from Brent Primus earlier this year. It’s a champ vs. champ showdown and an opportunity for Pitbull to join Ryan Bader as a simultaneous two-division Bellator king.
Among those who will be in Patricio’s corner that Saturday night is his brother, lightweight contender Patricky Pitbull. He’s currently on the mend after surgery earlier this month after injuring his wrist in his decision win against Ryan Scope back in February.
