Patricky Pitbull will have an important fight ahead this Friday (18). At Bellator 117, in Iowa, in the United States, the native of Rio Grande do Norte will face Derek Campos in the semifinals of the organization's lightweight GP, seeking his second opportunity to win the tournament.

In 2011, Pitbull reached the decision, but ended up defeated by Michael chandler in the unanimous decision of the judges. In order not to let the opportunity slip out of his hands, the fighter promises to be aggressive in his next fight.

“The strategy is the same as always, 'hands off'. Depending on what the fight offers me, I will put my characteristics into play. I'm going to face a tough opponent, but he doesn't have any prominent part in his game. I know he won't want to keep fighting, so I need to be careful to get another victory”, said Pitbull, who believes that his current fighting rhythm will prove to be a differentiator against Campos.

““It’s great to come from a positive streak. I am very happy with the results I obtained. I haven't stopped working since my last fight, and that brought a great amount of training that could help me a lot within the future. cage. Even though I did well in my last one, I try to put that behind me and focus on the future. The GP continues, so I have to continue with the hard training and focus on the next fights”, he said.

Since November, Pitbull has had two fights, winning two victories. He beat Edson Berto by judges' decision at Bellator 107 and, six editions later, knocked out David Rickels. In the other semifinal, Marcin Held will face Derek Anderson.
