UFC vs Bellator has picked up the heat with yet another Bellator fighter calling out UFC lightweight contender Dan Hooker. Earlier today, Bellator lightweight contender and elder brother of Bellator dual champion Patricio Freire, Patricky Freire called out lightweight fighter Dan Hooker. Patricky Freire followed in the footsteps of his brother, who recently called out Alexander Volkanovski for a cross-promotional fight to determine the greatest featherweight of all time. Alexander Volkanovski successfully defended his featherweight gold against Max Holloway at UFC 251. Patricio Freire is a two-division Champion with notable victories over Michael Chandler.

It was surprising to see Patricky Freire call out Dan Hooker. Reacting to Patricio Freire’s post where he called out Dana White and Alexander Volkanovski for a potential match-up, Patricky tweeted, “I’ll put UFC, Dan Hooker in the hospital bed right beside Alexander Volkanoski. Anyway, Dan, it’s nice to see the pride of Australia…Crocodile Duck-me.” The Pitbull brothers have not both called out fighters from the UFC for a potential cross-promotional fight between best fighters from both organizations. Patricky Freire is a former Bellator lightweight contender, wit notable victories over Benson Henderson and Josh Thomson.
