On his first 'media day' , when the company's fighters fulfill media commitments the week of their fight, Pitbull spoke about his debut.
“I’ve been waiting for this moment my whole career, so I’m very happy about it. I’ve had some good experiences in my career with Bellator. Rizin in Japan is a great show. But being in the UFC is different,” said Patrício at the press conference on Wednesday (9).
Recently, former light heavyweight champion (up to 93kg) Michael Bisping questioned Patrício Pitbull 's physical capabilities in an analysis published on his YouTube channel. The fighter from Rio Grande do Norte felt compelled to address the issue and respond to the UFC commentator.
“With all due respect to those who think that way, especially Michael Bisping , who is a guy who understands fighting, but I'm a guy who hasn't suffered much damage in my career. I've been knocked out once, even if you consider fights in gyms. I've managed to avoid many of those situations and dedicate myself a lot to keeping my body healthy and working on my physique in the gym,” said Pitbull.
