I took a week off after my last fight and got back in training. I told the @ufc I'm ready to go and I'm hoping to have fight news soon.

Considered one of the greatest fighters in Bellator history, Patrick Pitbull failed to show his best performance in his UFC debut. The Brazilian struggled to impose his game and ended up defeated by Yair Rodriguez by unanimous decision. In the following fight, the Rio Grande do Norte native recovered by winning Dan Ige, also in the final, guaranteeing his position as 11th in the featherweight category (up to 65,7 kg).
There is great anticipation among fans that the third fight of Patrick Pitbull in Ultimate will take place at UFC Rio, scheduled for October 11th. If this is confirmed, the former Bellator champion will be an important reinforcement for the card, which will have Charles of the Bronx as the main highlight.
