Patricio Freire has his immediate future all lined up. And every single fight on his planned schedule has a certain meaning to him.
One is the biggest name fight he could get. The next is for family revenge. And the last? A chance to get back the title he once held.
First up, of course, is a matchup with Benson Henderson in the main event of Bellator 160 on Friday night in Anaheim. On paper, the fight doesn't make a whole lot of sense in terms of rankings. But if you look a little deeper it has value, especially to Freire.
