Will Patricio Pitbull get the job done with his UFC debut?
After notching 30 fights under Bellator MMA Banner and winning multiple world titles in promotions, Pitbull will make its long-awaited Octagon debut at UFC 314 in Miami this Saturday night. There, the former two division title holder meets former Interm champion Aerodriguez in a battle that can produce the next featherweight title challenger.
It’s exciting to see the pit bull finally take a walk into the octagon. The fact remains that he has been apart for a few months since he was 38 years old, leaving many people, including former middleweight king Michael Bispin, wondering whether Pitbull can compete among the best mixed martial artists in the world.
“Can the old man do that? 37-year-old Patricio Pitbull come from Bellator, who I think he was a four-time champion,” Bispin said on his YouTube channel. “Perhaps the biggest victory, a malicious right hand when knocked out ‘Iron’ Mike Chandler in the first round. He has good jiu-jitsu, but he is 37 years old. There is a lot of wear and tears, and the watch has many miles.
“43 professional fights, 36 wins, 7 losses, but he was knocked out twice. But when you fought multiple times, there’s no problem with that. Of course, he takes on the only Yair Rodriguez, one of Mexico’s finest. He stopped again against Brian Ortega.
Can Patricio Pitbull win at UFC 314 and jump to the line?
Ilia Topuria has suddenly set off from the division, and the clear competitor of the winners of the Featherweight Title Tilt between Alexander Volkanovski and Diego Lopes on Saturday believes the winner of Pitbull vs. Rodriguez can produce the next challenger for the emerging champions.
“Would either of these guys be the next guy to fight for the featherweight strap?” “One of these guys might be the next guy to fight for the belt, as Volkanovski wants to be active.
Pitbull entered his promotional premiere, which went 1-2 in his final three outings, including consecutive losses to Sergio Pettis and Suzuki Chihiro. Pitbull returned to the victory column in March via a third round TKO via Jeremy Kennedy in Belfast’s Bellator Champions Series 1.
