Mixed martial arts career
Bellator Fighting Championships
After competing in many Brazilian promotions, Freire compiled a 7-1 record before entering the Bellator Season 4 Lightweight Tournament. He faced former WEC Lightweight Champion, Rob McCullough at Bellator 36 on March 12, 2011 in the opening round. He won via TKO in the third round.
Freire went on to face two time finalist Toby Imada in the semi-final at Bellator 39. Freire defeated Imada via KO in the first round after landing a brutal flying knee and following up with a flurry of punches which caused Imada to fall to the mat unconscious. The win saw him progress to the final of the tournament where he faced fellow finalist Michael Chandler at Bellator 44. Freire lost via unanimous decision.
Freire next faced Kurt Pellegrino at Bellator 59 on November 26, 2011. He won the fight via TKO in the first round.
Freire faced former Lightweight champion Eddie Alvarez at Bellator 76. After a back-and-forth opening minute that saw both fighters rocked, he lost the fight via KO in the first round.
It was announced that Freire will face Guillaume De Lorenzi in the Bellator 2013 Lightweight tournament on January 31.[1] Unfortunately, Freire suffered an injury and pulled out of the Lightweight tournament a few days prior to this fight.[2]
Freire returned to the Bellator cage on September 7, 2013 as he faced Derek Anderson at Bellator 98. Despite winning the first round, Freire lost the fight via unanimous decision.
