PFL is on the verge of giving several important announcements and the promotion has made several huge changes. Aaron Pico is still stuck at PFL because Donn Davis will not let him go. On the other hand, Patricio ‘Pitbull’ Freire has officially been discharged from his contract by the association after months of publicly stating his dissatisfaction with the company.
And guess what this is not the only huge news because Dana White did not waste a single moment! ‘Pitbull’—drumrolls please—is now a part of the UFC roster! Davis, the president of PFL revealed ‘Pitbull’s release from PFL through his X profile. He wrote, “We are releasing PatricioPitbull. @PFLMMA is all about opportunity I founded this company to create new great opportunities for top fighters PFL has and will continue to do that for all top fighters who want to be here #PFLMMA.”
The 37-year-old had a talk with MMA Planet and spoke about his frustration with PFL not giving him any confirmed fights. He said, “I had always told the PFL that I wanted to fight. The only time they ever approached me about a fight was when I was asked to fight Chihiro (Suzuki Chihiro) on New Year’s Eve. Then in November, I found out that Chihiro was fighting Kleber at X.”
So now that PFl released him in January he was a free agent and finally, after a month of resilience and persuasion, he has been signed into UFC!
