“I think this is the next step in MMA. Bellator took this step, RIZIN too. Maybe Bellator vs. PFL (is next). I would like the UFC to join in too, because we know there is (a debate) about who is the best between UFC and Bellator champions. It doesn't matter who I think will win, but who actually wins. So, to be sure, we have to pit the champions against each other. For me, this is the next step we have to take in MMA”, analyzed Pitbull.

PUBLICITY:

Former featherweight (up to 65,7kg) and lightweight (up to 70,3kg) champion at Bellator, Patrício has already declared that he would like to face names like Alexander Volkanovsky e Max Holloway.
