Patricky Pitbull hopes to get back on track to winning ways at Bellator 141, an event that will take place this Friday (28) in Temecula, California (USA). To do this, the fighter relies on his striking and the weight of his hands to knock out Saad Awad.

Pitbull, who is coming off a defeat to Marcin Held, recognizes that his next opponent is dangerous, but believes in his victory even before the judges' decision. “I expect a very good fight. It’s going to be a heavy exchange, buckshot on both sides, but I have a heavier hand than him and I’m going to win this fight”, stated the brother of Patrick Pitbull, Bellator featherweight champion.

Even though a victory could put him in a prominent position, the fighter avoids talking about a possible title fight. “I don’t want to think about the belt right now. I want to think about this fight first and only then about the belt. One goal at a time”, says the fighter.

The fight between Pitbull and Awad makes up the card for the event, which will feature the fight between Melvin Guillard and Brandon Girtz as its main attraction.
