News Patricky Pitbull Granted Release From PFL/Bellator

I would not doubt for a second that he signs with RIZIN, there are ready made storylines involving him there. They'd probably be willing to pay for a rematch with Satoshi, or they could figure out the logistics of Patricky and Koike.
 
The weaker Brother, not UFC material, if younger I would say DWCS, but he is through.

Former Bellator champion and RIZIN tournament finalist on Contender Series? Nah. He has name value and is a fun fighter. DWCS should be limited to prospects.

If the UFC gets him, what’s wrong with the having a lower level or middle of the pack fighter? Give him another vet like Jim Miller to start off.

I think he goes to BKFC in all honesty.
 
Looks like PFL has washed their hands of the Pitbull brothers.
 
Was better off staying in PFL imo



yeah, depends how he was gonna be used in PFL> If he's gonna be in the tournament you stay, if not then maybe at his age taking a chance on this GFL thing isnt the worst idea. If they'll pay you and you get a fight or two before it blows up go for it.
 
I guess that says the UFC wasn't very interested in him at this stage of his career or GFL gave him very strong offer that was best thing going for him. Also wouldn't surprise me if he was able to get GFL give the ability to take bare knuckle fights if it doesn't interfere with GFL's schedule. BKFC just seems like the right place for him at this point.

Let's face facts, if you leave the PFL and the UFC isn't interested in you there isn't a lot of options for guy at this point in his career. ONE seems to be the biggest offender of just icing fighters way to long in between fights and at his age you can't afford to do that. Rizin isn't the most consistent org either. After that you are left with the KSW and ACA's of the world and how much are you really worth to them. BKFC is probably the best option for many guys in Patricky position.

GFL is officialy a viable option in the US and worldwide.

UFC - PFL - ACA - ONE - KSW (medium) and now GFL who plan directly to be a big organization. There are now at least five organizations that are stable enough who can pay you 250k to 700k $ per main event which is a good thing.

Patrictio is old and behind his prime but still sharp. It would be a mistake to assume that he is a toothless lion, he still has many fights left, and it will defintely easier with a lesser competition. GFL is probably the only organization that can give him the higher salary.

Patricio hasn't signed anywhere yet, I think he signs with the UFC in the coming months, and it put on their Brazil card in May.

Patricky - Patricio's not as good brother - signed with GFL

Patricky is 39 and on a 3-fight losing streak, he was never getting signed by anyone bigger than PFL.

Patricio and Pico are possible UFC signings since apparently Dana said they were interested in them.
