The greatest and best fighter in Bellator history, Patrício Pitbull, gained a new spirit in the UFC. At UFC 331 , an event held last Saturday (19), in California (USA), the Brazilian recovered in the octagon by delivering a beautiful knockout to the dangerous Doo-ho Choi in the first round. Having eliminated any chance of being cut by the company, the veteran, reinvigorated, is already planning his future in the featherweight division (up to 65,8 kg).

Now, with two wins and two losses in the UFC, the 39-year-old Pitbull aims to solidify his place among the elite of the division and, wasting no time, has already challenged Jean Silva . However, the Brazilian isn't only focused on having his compatriot as an opponent. In the post- UFC 331 press conference , the athlete didn't hesitate to reveal his dream fight in the company. In fact, the fight isn't surprising, considering that Patrício, since his heyday in Bellator, has made his interest clear with constant challenges.
“ I was champion for a long time, and so was Volkanovski . I’d like to take on that challenge someday . I can’t waste any time. For me, I’m ready next month. If the UFC puts someone against me, I’m in,” said the veteran.
