Is Patricky Freire’s highlight reel good enough to warrant another Bellator title shot?

Patricky Freire returns to action this week, and he’s got his eye on getting another lightweight title shot.

“Pitbull” Freire (19-8 MMA, 12-7 BMMA) takes on Roger Huerta (24-10-1 MMA, 1-3 BMMA) at Bellator 205, which takes place Friday at CenturyLink Arena in Boise, Idaho. The main card airs on Paramount following prelims on MMAjunkie.
