Patricio "Pitbull" Freire has a new opponent in sight for Bellator 153.

The former Bellator featherweight champion tweeted on Saturday that he'll meet Henry Corrales at the April 22 event in Uncasville, Conn. MMA Fighting's Guilherme Cruz confirmed with Bellator sources that the fight will happen on that date.

Freire was originally scheduled to face John Teixeira, who had to pull out of the evening's co-feature bout with a broken rib.

Dam, corrales is getting a raw deal! First straus, then pitbull. I would have definitely negotiated a big pay or at least another contract.

This fight should be fun.

Yes and no - tough fight for certain but the upside is a win likely gets him a title shot
