Georgi Karakhanyan, Patricio ‘Pitbull’ Have Confrontation at Bellator 141 Poster Signing

Poster signings are generally a mundane part of the fight week routine, but not when Georgi Karakhanyan and Patricio Freire are in the same room.

The two featherweights, who have gone back and forth on social media in the past, engaged in a shouting match during a Bellator 141 poster signing. Eric Albaraccin, the wrestling coach of both Patricio and Patricky Freire, captured the footage on video and posted it on his Facebook page.

Karakhanyan and Patricio “Pitbull” were supposed to square off at Bellator 138, but a knee injury forced Karakhanyan to withdraw from the contest. Karakhanyan is on hand at Bellator 141 to corner Saad Awad against Patricky Freire in Friday’s co-main event at the Pechanga Resort and Casino in Temecula, Calif..

Karakhanyan will have to wait for his next chance at 145-pound gold, however, as Patricio Freireis slated to defend the belt against Daniel Straus at Bellator 145. The Millennia MMA product lost to Freire via third-round technical knockout at Bellator 37 in March 2011.
