Freire undertook Doo Ho Choi
(17-5) in the featherweight tilt at UFC 331 September 19 at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. This is the last fight of his contract, and Freire has repeatedly expressed his desire to continue fighting in the UFC and promised to put on a performance worthy of a contract renewal.
Patricio Freire knocked out Doo Ho Choi at UFC 331 before calling out Jean Silva
Freire backed up his promise by dropping Choi with a monstrous right hand to earn the end of the first round. Having had a tepid UFC career prior to UFC 331, the former was Bellator
the champion apologized to the fans and shouted Jean Silvawho is known for barking at his opponents to determine the bigger dog of the two.
“I regret my last three fights,” Freire said in his post-fight interview. “I feel like (UFC 331) was my debut. I don’t know what happened to me. But I’m so happy… The pressure is more here (than Bellator). But now I feel comfortable… Jean Silva, let’s see who’s the dog.”
Freire (38-9) lost earlier Yair Rodriguez and Aaron Pico
in the UFC while fighting off a lackluster unanimous decision
Dan Ige. Meanwhile, Silva (18-3) has taken five of his six UFC victories, losing only to a two-time title challenger Diego Lopes. “Lord” strikes Jose Delgado at
UFC 4 night earlier this month.
