“I want Jean Silva . I think he was lost in his last performance, three minutes, no punches, just moving around, and the other guy almost knocked him out. But he was good, he was ready. I feel I can do better than him. It would be great to face him in Brazil. Brazil needs a rivalry,” declared Patrício Pitbull.
With his victory over Choi, Pitbull took the opportunity to publicly express his interest in the duel. Now, it remains to be seen if Jean Silva will accept the challenge and if the UFC intends to make the fight a reality.
