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.

Freire is on a solid run with five wins in his past six bouts. His only loss in that stretch came to then-champion Michael Chandler. But since then, he has key wins over former UFC and WEC champion Benson Henderson, former Strikeforce champ Josh Thomson, and Derek Campos.

If he beats Huerta on Friday to make it four straight, expect him to once again make his case to be in a fight that can either get him a title shot – or in a title fight, period.

Ahead of Bellator 205, check out Freire’s spectacular highlight reel in the video above.
