Current Bellator featherweight and lightweight double-champ Patricio “Pitbull” Freire is among the critics who accuse Pedro Carvalho of stealing Conor McGregor’s gimmick, but that’s not a claim that seems to bother the SBG Ireland product.
Carvalho (11-3) spoke with Bloody Elbow ahead of his Featherweight Grand Prix title fight with Freire (30-4) at Bellator 241. Carvalho argued the McGregor comparisons lack creativity and intellect.
“I think Patricio and his team are the number one fans of SBG and especially Conor. I’m kind of used to it already because I’m an SBG guy. It doesn’t matter what kind of approach I have people are always going to compare me.
