Patricio Freire knocks out Doo Ho Choi at UFC 331 before
\ncalling out Jean Silva<\/h2>\n

Freire backed up his promise, dropping Choi with a monstrous right
\nhand to earn a first-round finish. Having had a lukewarm UFC career
\nbefore UFC 331, the former Bellator<\/a>
\nchamp apologized to fans and called out Jean Silva<\/a>,
\nwho is known for barking at his opponents, to determine the bigger
\ndog amongst the two.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m sorry about my last three fights,\u201d Freire said in his
\npost-fight interview. \u201cI feel that [UFC 331] was my debut. I don\u2019t
\nknow what happened to me. But I\u2019m so happy\u2026 The pressure here is
\nbigger [than Bellator]. But now I feel comfortable\u2026 Jean Silva,
\nlet\u2019s see who is the dog.\u201d<\/p>\n

Freire (38-9) previously lost to Yair
\nRodriguez<\/a> and Aaron Pico<\/a>
\nin the UFC, while edging a lackluster unanimous decision against
\nDan
\nIge<\/a>. Meanwhile, Silva (18-3) has finished five of his six UFC
\nwins, while only losing to two-time title challenger Diego
\nLopes<\/a>. \u201cLord\u201d beat Jose
\nDelgado<\/a> at
\nNoche UFC 4<\/a> earlier this month.<\/p>\n
