Patricio Freire suffered a severe injury during his lightweight bout with Ben Henderson at Friday night’s Bellator 160.
The former featherweight champion moved up to 155 pounds to take on former UFC and WEC lightweight champion on Aug. 26 in Anaheim, Calif., but a low kick that landed ended up fracturing his right fibula, MMA Fighting has learned. There isn't a timetable for his return yet, or if he will have a potential surgery to fix the injury.
On his Instagram page, "Pitbull" spoke about the injury that marked his first loss in a non-title fight since June of 2010.
