I turned on the 'calm button' and felt very at peace. We studied each other and I ended up giving in to the pressure he (McKee) put on me at the beginning,” said Pitbull.
About 10 months after losing the featherweight title to the biggest jewel ever revealed by Bellator, Patrício got his immediate rematch. In the new scenario, the champion described the strategy so that last season's mistake would not be repeated.
