Who to believe?

Reigning Bellator lightweight champion Will Brooks has claimed that he was sucker-punched by fellow fighters Patricio and Patricky Freire, more commonly known as the Pitbull Brothers. Brooks had recently threatened Bellator featherweight champion Patricio Freire after Pitbull mocked Brooks' position on Friday night's Bellator 145 card. GH But it was apparently the Brazilians who threw the first slaps when they came to face in St. Louis on Wednesday afternoon. https://twitter.com/illwillbrooks86/status/661967919698460672 https://twitter.com/illwillbrooks86/status/661970458971996160 https://twitter.com/illwillbrooks86/status/661970836266483712 https://twitter.com/illwillbrooks86/status/661978884192079872 Brooks also posted a picture of a bloodied t-shirt but has since deleted the photograph. brooks They have a different account of what went down, though. https://twitter.com/PatricioPitbull/status/661977341271371778 https://twitter.com/PatricioPitbull/status/661977443494985728 https://twitter.com/PatricioPitbull/status/661977749033193473 Brooks is slated to defend his belt against Marcin Held on Friday night before Patricio Freire takes on Daniel Straus so it will be interesting to see what, if anything, Scott Coker does in the coming days or if either fighter has sustained injuries in the scrap.
