MIAMI – Patricio Freire continues to hit milestones in his first UFC fight week with a pre-fight press conference faceoff Thursday vs. Yair Rodriguez ahead of UFC 314.
The former two-division Bellator titleholder “Pitbull” Freire (36-7 MMA, 0-0 UFC) is slated to make his octagon debut against former interim UFC featherweight champ Rodriguez (15-5 MMA, 10-4 UFC) on Saturday at Kaseya Center (ESPN+ pay-per-view).
Freire’s move to the UFC has been long desired, and he gets tasked with spot on the main card of a numbered event against against dangerous perennial contender Rodriguez, who has his own aspirations of returning to championship fights.
