Their has always been rivalry in MMA promotions and their dominant fighters. The same is true for UFC as well as Bellator. However, Dana White offered ignorance when he was asked to comment on two-division Bellator MMA champion Patricio Freire.

But the ‘Pitbull’ didn’t let these comments get died and decided to let the UFC President know who he was. But after Freire’s comments, the former UFC fighter Henry Cejudo seemed to spars ‘Pitbull’ while keeping with his ‘King of Cringe’.

Soon after Dana White showing ignorance over Pitbull, Freire took took to Twitter and wrote, “Hi (Dana White) I’m the one who destroyed steroids machine (Mike Chandler), whom you said deserves a talk, in 61 seconds. If you send some of your top fighters to (Bellator MMA). I can do the same to them too. Let’s bet like you did with PRIDE.”

Earlier, when Dana White was asked to comment on the ability of Freire, White had replied, “I don’t know, I honestly couldn’t tell you.” And now this challenging reply from Pitbull shows how much annoyed he is.

Henry Cejudo has also held two belts

Like Freire, ‘Triple C’ became the fourth UFC champion to hold titles in two-divisions. But Unlike, Pitbull je defended them at least once. He knows the challenges one faces while maintaining the winning streak on one side while being in threat from the other division also.

Cejudo became the first UFC male fighter to defend his both titles successfully. It happened when the referee his match against Dominick Cruz at UFC 249. But this was his final appearance in the UFC.

‘The Messenger’ is aware of the fact that winning two titles puts him in a tie with three more fighters. So, he is aiming to upgrade his record by winning a third title to claim to be the pound for pound king himself.

Now, a potential fight of Freire with UFC fighyers will be quite interesting to watch if materialized. However, such cross-promotional fights have too many contractual and rights issues to overcome.
