Patricio Pitbull says RIZIN fighter came into locker room, attacked brother Patricky

Bellator champion Patricio "Pitbull" Freire is claiming that a RIZIN fighter, Kleber Koike, caused a scene at the Bellator X RIZIN card on Saturday in Japan.

Both Pitbull brothers, Patricio and Patricky fought on the card featuring Bellator fighters pitted against Japan's stars. Patricio, who took a fight on just a few days notice was finished by RIZIN's Chihiro Suzuki but Patricky defeated Roberto de Souza (Koike's teammate) to advance in the Bellator Lightweight Grand Prix.

According to Patricio, Koike celebrated his loss while arguing with Patricky and then entered the private locker room, kicked Patricky, and ran away. He called for RIZIN to cut him from the promotion for his actions.

There was a photograph showing the ringside argument that Patricio spoke of as well.

Koike and Patricio fought at the first Bellator X RIZIN card last year where Patrico defeated Koike via decision.

At press time neither Koike or RIZIN has commented on the alleged incident.
