Off the back of another successful featherweight title defense at Bellator 286 over the course of last weekend, former two-weight champion, Brazilian veteran, Patricio Pitbull has claimed a crossover fight to the UFC against his featherweight champion counterpart, Alexander Volkanovski has piqued his interest.
Headlining Bellator 286 against Hungarian contender, Adam Borics, Patricio Pitbull, the younger brother of lightweight kingpin, Patricky Pitbull, turned in a comprehensive unanimous decision win over Borics over the course of five rounds – successfully defending his featherweight throne.
The victory came as Pitbull’s first successful defense of the featherweight crown, since beginning his third reign as division champion, defeating event co-headliner, A.J. McKee back in April of this year in a close decision success.
Forever linked with an eventual move to either the UFC’s lightweight or featherweight ranks, Patricio Pitbull has claimed a fight with the promotion’s featherweight pacesetter, the aforenoted, Volkanovski interests him, however, believes UFC president, Dana White is fearful of booking the fight.
“I bet one million and he accepted that,” Patirico Pitbull said briefly of a fight with Alexander Volkanovski during his post-Bellator 286 media availability. “But Dana white doesn’t have balls.”
As for Volkanovski, the current pound-for-pound number one in the UFC, boasts an incredible 25-1 professional record, and has yet to taste defeat during his gold-laden Octagon tenure.
Most recently, the New South Wales tactician managed to turn in his fourth successful defense of the featherweight title with a third career win over former division champion, Max Holloway at UFC 276 back in July during International Fight Week.
Volkanovski has been linked with a potential move to the promotion’s lightweight division since his win over Holloway, and has noted his interest in fighting the victor of the upcoming vacant title fight between Charles Oliveira and Islam Makhachev which takes place at UFC 280 later this month.

The previously undefeated MMA Lab staple, Richard Palencia has suffered the first defeat of his professional mixed martial arts career, in quite horrifying fashion, fracturing his leg off the back of a kick attempt in the second round of his Bellator 286 fight against Cee Jay Hamilton.
Palencia, a former LFA bantamweight champion, entered tonight’s Bellator 286 fight against Hamilton in the midst of an impressive 10-fight winning streak since his professional mixed martial arts career began back in 2013.
Drawing Hamilton at the San Jose, California event, Richard Palencia, who most recently Allan Bergosso at LFA 119, suffered the first professional loss of his career to date in his Bellator debut, fracturing his left leg in the second round of his bow against the aforenoted, Hamilton.
Appearing to land shin-on-shin with a left leg kick attempt in the second round, Palencia stepped back to his stanch pre-kick, before grimacing, and eventually separating his leg which had fractured on impact. Bellator MMA shared footage of Palencia’s grotesque injury on their official Twitter account.

An unfortunate ending to the opening fight of the night

Tonight’s event is scheduled to feature an undisputed featherweight title fight between champion, Patricio Pitbull, and challenger, Adam Borics. In the night’s co-headlining slot, former featherweight kingpin and Grand Prix victor, A.J. McKee draws UFC alum, the streaking, Spike Carlyle in a catchweight fight.
Patrício Pitbull (33-5 MMA) is now gunning for a battle of the Brazilians with Jose Aldo (31-8 MMA) to find out who is the best out of the featherweight champions, especially since Aldo is now retired and no longer under contract with the UFC.

Patrício Pitbull (33-5 MMA) is now gunning for a battle of the Brazilians with Jose Aldo (31-8 MMA) to find out who is the best out of the featherweight champions, especially since Aldo is now retired and no longer under contract with the UFC.
Jose Aldo’s last UFC appearance was at UFC 278 where he squared off against rising featherweight Merab Dvalishvili (15-4 MMA).
Although coming into the event a betting favourite, the 36-year-old was unable to get his rhythm going as Dvalishvili was able to subdue Aldo’s striking with his much-anticipated wrestling, earning himself a unanimous decision victory on the night.
Despite the disappointing performance, MMA fans weren’t expecting the journey to end just there, as Aldo officially hung up his gloves a few weeks after the bout.
This is all happening while Patrício Pitbull managed to regain his Bellator featherweight championship against AJ McKee and is now set to defend his 145lbs throne for the 15th time against Adam Borics (18-1 MMA) at Bellator 286.
Although Patrício Pitbull understands Jose Aldo will remain a legend forever, he believes Aldo has a lot left in the tank and isn’t finished fighting just yet.
Speaking on this week’s ‘Trocação Franca‘ podcast, Patrício Pitbull congratulated his fellow countryman on ‘a beautiful run’ in Mixed Martial Arts, however, doesn’t believe ‘Junior’s’ retirement isn’t final and is made by others and will eventually return to some form of combat.
‘You feel there was a spark in his decision [to retire], that it was time to stop, that he had already done a lot for the sport,” Pitbull exclaimed.
‘He’s well financially, but I think, for his age, that his fire isn’t out yet. He’ll sit down, enjoy his son that was just born, his daughter, his marriage, and the moment will come where he will have that desire to fight again, and maybe he goes to boxing.
‘There were some talks out there between him and ‘Popo’ [former WBO and WBA champion Acelino Freitas]. He can also do a [MMA] superfight now that he’s not under contract. The world has opened for him one more time.’
With the chances for a ‘superfight’ becoming more plausible for Patrício Pitbull, he still feels that it was a missed opportunity not to arrange a fight between them both whilst they were both in their primes.
‘It would have been good [to fight in our primes], right?‘ Pitbull said.
‘It would have been a decider of who really is the best featherweight. We have very similar numbers. Amount of wins, title defences, submissions, knockouts, length of title reign, etc. Even though many people say, ‘Whoever is in the UFC is the best and whoever is in Bellator is the second best,’ it’s impossible to say that unless you put them to fight.‘
‘It didn’t happen, time has passed, he no longer has the belt, he stopped fighting, but the future is long, and opportunities are endless. We’re not that old. If it’s a fight between two old guys, it’s cool, we’d be equal. Or in MMA, a superfight, everybody is out of contract. Who knows?‘ (Transcribed by MMAFighting.com)
