Bellator Champ Will Brooks Claims “Pitbull” Brothers Jumped Him in St. Louis Hotel

The above picture is not the results of a fighter who just stepped out of the cage.

It is the alleged aftermath of an altercation between reigning Bellator lightweight champion Will Brooks and the “Pitbull” brothers, Patricio Freire, the Bellator featherweight champion, and Patricky Freire.

The entire incident took place in a hotel in St. Louis, the host city of Bellator 145 this weekend.

Brooks took to Twitter shortly after to give his perspective on his scrap with the two Brazilian brothers. It should be noted Brooks has deleted the original tweet with the image of the shirt.

Pitbull brothers showed me what cowards they are. They jumped me while I was on the phone with my mom.

Punch me while I'm being held back by your people. Cowards

I've never had to sucker punch or jump anyone I held things on my own but these cowards aren't built like real men

I'm still pretty and still focused on my fight even though these cowards jumped me. We have video

Video proof

After authorities are able to check out footage I will make sure everyone can see what those cowards are really made of.

Freire would quickly jump to Twitter in attempt to give his side of he story while claiming it was actually Brooks that had initiated the violent exchange.

Will Brooks is a liar. He hit Patricky first and came at me, I went after him too and my first punch landed. We were separated.

Then he came again, I knocked him down. He tried to take me down, we were separated again and he started calling us cowards.

He was a man of his word and faced the consequences. Now act like a man and tell the truth. pic.twitter.com/duGEbX9jRK

Bellator official later revealed they are currently looking to obtain surveillance footage of the allege altercation in order to figure out what actually happened.
