In his first 'media day', when the company's fighters fulfill media commitments during fight week, Pitbull spoke about the debut.
“I’ve been waiting for this moment my whole career, so I’m very happy about it. I’ve had some good experiences in my career with Bellator. Rizin in Japan is a great show. But being in the UFC is different,” said Patrício at the press conference on Wednesday (9).
Recently, the former light heavyweight champion (up to 93kg.) Michael Bisping questioned the physical capacity de Patrick Pitbull in an analysis published on his YouTube channel. The Potiguar made a point of addressing the issue and responding to the UFC commentator.
“With all due respect to those who think this way, especially Michael Bisping, who is a guy who understands fighting, but I am a guy who has not suffered many injuries in my career. I was knocked out once, even if you consider gym fights. I managed to avoid many of those situations and dedicate myself a lot to keeping my body healthy and working on my physique in the gym,” said Pitbull.
