Biggest name in Bellator history, Patrick Pitbull showed humility in dealing with his dominant victory over Emmanuel sanchez last Friday (2). After 'erasing' his opponent in less than four minutes, maintaining the featherweight title (up to 65,7kg), and advancing in the division's Grand Prix, the Brazilian sent a direct message to his opponent. In the text, the fighter preached respect for the North American.

“I don’t fight to destroy other people’s dreams. I fight to make my dreams come true. Good luck in the future”, wrote Patrício, in his account on Instagram.
The fight against the North American marked the second meeting between the combatants. In the first clash, in 2018, the Brazilian emerged victorious, but ended up having a balanced fight, winning on points. More than two years later, the native of Rio Grande do Norte proved that, despite dominating the category, he continues to evolve in his technique.
To guarantee the rematch against Pitbull, Emmanuel needed to guarantee three positive results in a row. The athlete's last triumph had taken place in November 2020, when he overcame Daniel weichel.
With the triumph over Sanchez, Pitbull sealed his ticket to the featherweight GP final. The athlete will now face A. J. McKee. The clash, however, does not yet have a confirmed date.
