Patricio Pitbull, the two-division champion takes on A.J. McKee at Bellator 263 to defend his featherweight title. The fight happens this weekend in Los Angeles. On Thursday, the pre-fight press conference went down and things didn’t go too well for both the headliners of the event. Patricio had to leave the conference after hell broke loose.

The bad blood between the two fighters started when McKee’s dad and coach accused Freire of using PED’s. But A.J on the other hand blames the champion for disrespecting his father when he said he would beat McKee in front of his dad. When they both started arguing Patricio was the first to make it physical as he broke furniture and even spilled the drinks on the table. Later, A.J. provoked the Brazilian even more after he tried to snatch away the belt from Patricio’s table.

“He’s afraid of what will happen,” Patricio Pitbull on his opponent

Soon after the scuffle ended and Patricio had to flee from the press conference, he met with an interviewer from MMA Junkie. “Things went south when he started to talk sh*t about respect,” Freire told MMA Junkie. “Everyone knows his father was saying to the media that I was on drugs. After that, he said something about (how he) would beat me in front of my family. I will make him show some respect for them. The last one who talked sh*t like this, I kicked his ass in less than a minute. Now, he deserves the same thing.”

“I don’t know, he has 60 (years),” Freire said. “He is stronger than me, so he’s on drugs, too? Maybe? I don’t know what he wants. I’m 34. F*ck, man. I’m not 60 or 40. I’m a competitor and still a little bit fat. F*ck, man. He’s afraid of what will happen.”
