In his recent interview Pitbull says, “He followed it right, he was kind of copying what McGregor did in the start of his UFC career, and fought well in his fights and got to a title fight, But there’s a catch: He’s not Conor McGregor and I’m not Jose Aldo. That’s when it went bad for him.”

He also added, “His coaches always said in interviews that he’s as skilled as—or even more skilled than—Conor, he fights on both stances, so they bet heavy on him, and it ended like that. He thought he would do like Conor, get to the promotion and knock the champion out fast, but had a bad result instead. He got knocked out and learned a lesson.”

“He was too focused on doing like Conor McGregor and get all the attention, sell the fight and talk crap—and that’s good for fights—but you can’t use your tongue to defend yourself in the cage.”

Pitbull wants to face Conor McGregor

The Bellator star Patricio Pitbull really wants to face Conor McGregor. He says about this fight, “I believe everything is possible if fans want it, if someone as big as Conor McGregor campaigns for it, it happens.”

“I’ve seen John Kavanagh say it’s one of his dreams to watch me fight McGregor, he said that after I beat Pedro, so it would definitely feel like revenge for them. I’m open for it”.

“I think McGregor is a super fighter, he has a great striking, has gotten better with his wrestling, has good jiu-jitsu, and gets a bit tired after the first or second round I have a strategy to beat him, and I think I would win. I won’t say I’d knock him out or submit him, but I know for sure my hands would be raised in the end”.
