Patrício Pitbull is about to take the most important step of his career. After 11 years reigning in Bellator, the featherweight champion (up to 65,7kg) is considering a change of scenery, aiming to make history in the UFC. The person fueling this speculation is Eric Albarracin, the fighter's coach, who in a recent appearance on SUPER LUTAS ' live stream made a bold request to the organization led by Dana White: a super fight against José Aldo.
According to Eric, the fight is necessary to define once and for all who is the greatest Brazilian featherweight of all time. In a relaxed but convincing conversation, 'Captain America', as he is known, revealed his desire to see the athlete move to the UFC, where, according to him, the potential of the Brazilian would be fully explored.
“You want super fights? Let’s talk to Dana White. Patrício Pitbull , 11 years as Bellator champion, is thinking about transferring to the UFC. I want a fight against Max Holloway for BMF. After that, José Aldo . Everyone in Brazil wants to know who is the best featherweight in the country’s history. We’re going to find the answer,” said Albarracin.
Albarracin's request goes beyond a simple fight. The coach believes that Pitbull, who has not fought since March of this year, urgently needs activity. The decision to request his release from his contract with Bellator, which is facing a financial crisis, comes as an attempt to give Patrício the necessary conditions to continue his journey in search of new challenges.
“If he’s not fighting, he has to fight. He’s 37 years old. What else can he do in Bellator? Let him go. Let the ‘Pitbull’ go,” concluded the coach.
