— Patricky Freire (@PatrickyPitbull) August 11, 2018Ultimate Fighting Championship veteran Roger Huerta will be filling in for an injured Goiti Yamauchi against Patricky Freire at Bellator 205 on Sept. 21 in Boise, Idaho. ESPN was first to report the pairing.
Huerta (24-10) will get another high-profile fight with Bellator after losing his promotional return in April. In his first Bellator fight after seven years fighting elsewhere, “El Matador” tapped to a guillotine choke in the second round against former UFC lightweight champion Benson Henderson.
