Hailing from Rio Grande Do Norte, Brazilië, the eldest of the “Pitbull” brothers steps inside the Bellator cage for the18th time in his professional career. Patricky Freire will be looking to build on an impressive start to his 2017 campagne, following a second-round finish of Josh Thomson bij Bellator 172. Having won seven of his last 10 uiteinden, “Pitbull” is on a fierce path that has firmly established himself as a contender for the 155-pound belt. Met 11 zijn 12 career finishes coming by way of knockout, including each of his seven in Bellator, the 31-year-old Brazilian phenom hopes to add to that total and once again defeat Campos in the evening’s main event.
Similar to “Pitbull,” Campos has started off his 2017 season on the right foot, earning a pivotal win over Derek Anderson bij Bellator 170 eerder dit jaar. Vechten uit Llubbock, Texas, “The Stallion” will enter the Bellator cage for the 12th time. Having won nine of his last 12 prijsvragen, Campos hopes to continue his recent success and avenge his earlier loss to “Pitbull” over three years ago at Bellator 117. Campos will also enter the bout riding a three-fight winning streak, which includes impressive victories over Melvin Guillard and Anderson.
