Former two-division Bellator champion, Patrício "Pitbull" Freire, wants his revenge against undefeated featherweight champ, AJ McKee, in their rematch at Bellator 277.
Freire spoke with reporters at the media day for tomorrow night's event and made it clear he's more focused on simply just beating McKee, rather than regaining his championship title back.
“This time I don’t care about the belt. I care about the revenge,” Freire said (h/t MMA Junkie). “I want my revenge against him. I want to beat him. My rivalry is against everyone that is going to try to put their hands on me. He has my belt. I want to take it back. I don’t care about (the odds). In the last fight, I was the favorite and I lost the fight. That’s bullshit. He’s a great fighter. He has a good style, but you know sometimes it looks like that as these guys rise through the ranks. But I’m going to stop him.”
