Patricio Pitbull CALLS OUT Jean Silva For Next Fight, Reveals Snapping Out of 10-Year Depression

What was said

"in the beginning of the second, he hit me hard and broke my nose and I lost my vision. I I lost my depth, my vision of depth, so I couldn't tell if he was close or far."

Patricio ‘Pitbull’ Freire says an early second-round strike from Aaron Pico broke his nose and affected his depth perception for the rest of the fight. He also says his vision has since fully recovered.
