Fight Quote by Patricio Freire
“Some fighters don't like to have their opponents changed on short notice. It really is a complicated situation because you prepared for someone for months, for a fighting style, and then the fight is off, but it's part of the job. It's natural, that's why we train every aspect of MMA.”
