“On Wednesday (20), Patrício went for a light workout and during a simple movement he felt his back locked and he was in such a way that he couldn't even move properly. Until Thursday night he didn't know if he was going to fight. He was quite nervous about it. If the fight were on Thursday night he wouldn't fight. This Friday, the day of the fight, he woke up a little better, he had a very good training session, according to Patricky (Pitbull), but with limitations, he was still feeling it, but like 'you can fight'. I haven't spoken to him yet (after the fight), and I'll ask him later, but there was a point when Jeremy practically gave Patrício his neck for the guillotine, Patrício didn't even try, a couple of times, but he didn't even try. I imagine it has to do with this limitation on his back. Patrício was still a little limited today, but thank God he was much better and shone in the fight”, said the businessman.
