According to reports, Patricio Pitbull will face Dan Ige at UFC 318, which is scheduled for July 19 in New Orleans.
Fight fans have been asking for a long time what would happen if we had the opportunity to watch Patricio Pitbull compete for the Ultimate Fighting Championship in the Octagon. He recently made the leap to compete against Yair Rodriguez, so we got an answer. Sadly for his supporters, he struggled to complete the task in what turned out to be a difficult debut.
Pitbull’s impending 38th birthday raised the possibility that it might be a “one and done” situation. After all, he has already accomplished a lot in the sport, mostly while working for Bellator.
As it turns out, that seemingly won’t be the case. As per a report from Leo Guimaraes, we are going to see Pitbull once again – against Dan Ige this summer in Louisiana.
Pitbull will face a difficult Ige test
Ironically, after his most recent victory in the cage, Ige actually called for this battle. This is another intriguing test for Pitbull, and if he wins, he has a good chance of regaining his title eligibility. That might sound absurd, but considering the significance of his name, it is definitely conceivable.
