The head of the Mohegan Tribe Department of Athletic Regulation said he was trying to preserve the integrity of a Bellator title fight when he warned Patricky Freire about excessive coaching. “During the fight, we don’t mind coaching,” Michael Mizzulli, Director of the MTDAR, today told MMAjunkie. “If it’s excessive to the point where the judge cannot perform his job, or the referee cannot perform his job, the commission gets involved.” Freire, one half of Bellator’s “Pitbull” brothers, questioned the MTDAR’s role after he cornered his brother, Patricio Freire, in a title-winning victory over now-former champ Pat Curran at this past Friday’s Bellator 123, which took place at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn., and aired live on Spike TV.
