The fact that top featherweight contender Patricio “Pitbull” Freire willingly moved up to lightweight to take on Benson Henderson should be enough to show the fighting spirit of the man.

Add in that he competed for several minutes on a fractured fibula, and it is even more impressive.

Freire, though, will not require surgery. The fighter told MMA Fighting that it will take six weeks to be cleared to put weight on the right leg and the bone should be healed after three months.

At Bellator 160, Freire lost via second round TKO due to the injury to Henderson in a lightweight title-eliminator.

According to a report by the LA Times, Benson Henderson-Patricio “Pitbull” Freire will headline a doubleheader of MMA and boxing on August 26 from the Honda Center in Anaheim, California.

Henderson-Freire will be the main attraction, as the boxing portion from Premier Boxing Champions features Robert Guerrero vs. David Peralta. The main bouts will air live on Spike TV.

Earlier this year, Henderson (23-6) made his Bellator debut, falling to welterweight champion Andrey Koreshkov via decision. Henderson is a former UFC lightweight champion who has split time between the two weight classes.

Freire (25-3) will be making the move up from featherweight to take on Henderson. He has gone 13-3 over 16 fights inside the Bellator cage.
