Snoop Dogg picks A.J. McKee to defeat Patricio Pitbull at Bellator 263
Rapper Snoop Dogg announced his pick in a Twitter video on Wednesday. Then on Thursday, “Pitbull” fired back with a tremendous response. He said:
“Hey, Snoop Dogg, I hope you know I’m not Pitbull the rapper. I’m Pitbull the GOAT. Maybe you should fight someone in the cage. If you land a strike, it’ll be your first hit in 50 years, motherf*cker.”
