Patrício Pitbull has been in high demand in his debut season in the UFC. If in September, in Paris (FRA), the Brazilian was going to face the promising Losene Keita before the fight fell through, now he has become the target of a veteran. Last Saturday (25), in Abu Dhabi (UAE), Nathaniel Wood defeated Jose Miguel Delgado by unanimous decision, in a true battle, and, excited, challenged the former Bellator champion.
In an interview with the organization after UFC 321, the Englishman expressed his desire to face Pitbull, while remaining respectful in his approach. And Wood's attempt is worthy, as he's currently enjoying a great career. Riding high on three consecutive wins, the veteran aims to move up a level in the featherweight division (up to 65,8 kg) and enter the top 15. To achieve this, the athlete invited the Brazilian to fight at his home.

"I feel like I deserve someone in the top 15, someone like Patricio 'Pitbull', in London in March. It would be a hell of a fight in my hometown. I think I deserve it, and it would be an incredible fight," said the fighter.
Pitbull in the UFC
After making his mark in Bellator as featherweight and lightweight champion (up to 70,3 kg), Patrício Pitbull debuted in the UFC in April 2025. On that occasion, the Brazilian lost to Yair Rodriguez by unanimous decision. Determined to prove his worth in the octagon, the veteran faced Dan Ige in July, won by points, and entered the top 15 of the category. Now, the athlete is ranked 11th.
