‘Did you even look at the contract’… MMA legend claims he wrongly thought UFC 331 was his last fight

Former Bellator champion Patricio Pitbull revealed that he mistakenly believed his bout at UFC 331 on September 19 was the final fight on his UFC contract. Speaking on The Ariel Helwani Show, the 39-year-old fighter explained that he used the belief that he was fighting for his promotional future as extra motivation for the contest in Los Angeles.

Pitbull clarified that his deal actually totals six fights and estimated he has two bouts remaining on his contract. He stated that he felt intense pressure entering the event, knowing the UFC could cut him if he suffered a defeat following a difficult run inside the Octagon.
