Patricio Pitbull and Matt Baker
Patricio Pitbull, a Bellator fighter, took to Twitter to make people aware of a GoFundMe page that has been set up to help cover the medical expenses for another MMA fighter Matt Baker, who recently suffered life-threatening injuries in a deadly vehicle accident.
The current Bellator featherweight champion encouraged fans to donate to the organisation via Twitter. This would benefit his family because he is the primary breadwinner, and Matt can concentrate on receiving excellent care. He says in his post, “MMA fighter @RiotMakerMMA is dealing with severe injuries after a pick up truck collided with his motorcycle. A GoFundMe page has been set up to help him cover his expenses in what will be a very long recovery process. Please donate/share this.”
Baker’s motorcycle collided with a pick-up truck on June 11 in Kamloops, British Columbia, at the intersection of Eighth Street and Halston Avenue. Baker sustained serious injuries as a result of the incident, demanding emergency surgery. Matt’s lungs were damaged in the crash, as were five of his ribs, a diaphragm, and his wrist.
What lies ahead for Patricio Pitbull?
Patricio Pitbull reclaimed the featherweight title by defeating A.J. McKee in a rematch in April. There have been rumours of a trilogy bout between the two since then, but nothing has been proven. Pitbull’s manager, Jorge Guimares, has stated that a trilogy fight between McKee and Pitbull is possible in the future.
His manager did, however, admit that McKee is considering moving up to the lightweight division to compete for the title against Patricio’s brother Patricky. Given this, Adam Boric might face Patricio Pitbull for the championship next.
Patricio Pitbull’s manager during a recent visit on the Trocaço Franca podcast of MMA Fighting, explains, “There are some talks about a rematch with A.J… Patricio isn’t opposed to this, but Adam Borics might jump the line since A.J. is a little hesitant. He’s suffering to make the weight, he’s a lengthy guy, and he might move up to Patricky’s division.”
