Patricky Freire pulled off arguably the biggest victory of his career on Saturday when he defeated former UFC and WEC champ Benson Henderson in the Bellator 183 main event.
Not only did Freire (18-8 MMA, 11-7 BMMA) beat Henderson (24-8 MMA, 1-3 BMMA) by split decision in the Spike-televised lightweight headliner at SAP Center in San Jose, Calif., but he also avenge a loss for his brother, who was beaten by “Smooth” in August 2016.
Check out the top Twitter reactions to Freire’s victory over Henderson at Bellator 183.
