Patricio Freire vows to keep some surprises for Conor McGregor

Freire is paired against Peter Queally, McGregor’s teammate from SBG. The lightweight contenders have been harsh with each other throughout the buildup, demeaning each other’s training camps.

In a recent interaction with Bloody Elbow, ‘Pitbull’ maintained a similar stance by lashing out at the Dublin-based SBG. However, he also went onto tease a surprise for McGregor.

“I know Conor will be sitting in the front row, just like he was last time. That does motivate me more. When I win this fight, I’ll have a surprise for him. There’s been some beef between me and Peter since the staredown in New York.

“Things got a little wild at the press conference. In fact, I was the one who started it. I attacked the SBG guys. This card that will happen in October will be Pitbull Brothers vs. SBG. One of those SBG guys, James Gallagher, he talks too much,” said Freire.

Despite such claims, McGregor has not hinted about his appearance in the upcoming Bellator event. ‘The Notorious is recently gearing up for his pre-scheduled collaboration with the Princess Charlene of Monaco.

The duo is reportedly teaming up for a water race in September to raise awareness of hydro safety and physical fitness. It is expected to be a journey of 180 km on water. That said, McGregor has constantly updated his fans about the venture via social media. And he might dunk the upcoming event for his preset plans.
