Patricio Freire is the undisputed Bellator MMA featherweight champion, but also believes that he might be the best featherweight on the planet:
In past interviews, Pitbull Freire (24-2 MMA, 12-2 BMMA) has said he’s the second-best 145-pound fighter in the world. He’s said he would hurt champ Aldo. But he never quite committed to the statement that he would beat the UFC champ.
No more.
Yes, Freire told MMAjunkie in English when asked if he would win if he were facing Aldo (25-1 MMA, 7-0 UFC) at UFC 189. He’s fast and he has good power, but my hands are better. My footwork is better, too, and I can take down my opponents. I am the best fighter.
