Patrice Evra makes his MMA debut: he wants to fight the Barça legend!

Former Manchester United defender Patrice Evra, who is well-known to football fans, has decided to open a new page in sports. The famous French player is officially preparing for his first fight in MMA as part of the Professional Fighters League (PFL) tournament in Paris on May 23.

It has not yet been announced who Evra will face, but the former player openly states that he sees Uruguayan star Luis Suarez as his ideal opponent. Patrice even said that he is ready to take money out of his own pocket to organize this fight.

“Now I have started serious preparations for my first fight in the PFL promotion. "They will choose an opponent for me there, but when they asked me who I would like to fight, I said Luis Suarez. If necessary, I am ready to pay for it," Evra said.

It is known that the conflict between Patrice Evra and Luis Suarez has been going on for 14 years. In 2011, during a match between Manchester United and Liverpool, Evra said that Suarez had racially abused him. After that incident, the English Football Association fined the Uruguayan striker 40 thousand pounds and suspended him for 8 matches.

Now the long-standing conflict between these two famous players may be resolved in the octagon. This fight, if it happens, will undoubtedly be of great interest not only to football fans, but also to MMA fans. More information will be released in the coming days about what Patrice Evra's first step in a new sport will be.
