Will Brooks, Patricio Freire clash on Twitter: 'I'm going to slap you in your f**king mouth'

Patricio "Pitbull" Freire nabbed top billing for Bellator 145's double-championship tentpole event, and he made sure fellow Bellator champ Will Brooks heard about it.

Freire is slated to defend his featherweight strap in a trilogy fight against Daniel Straus in Bellator 145's headlining fight, while Brooks will look to do the same against Marcin Held in the evening's lightweight co-main event.

On Friday, some innocuous trash talk between the two Bellator champions quickly devolved into a lengthy and heated back-and-forth, with Brooks vowing to slap Freire in his "f**king mouth" when the two see each other on Nov. 6 in St. Louis. The entire exchange can be seen below.

Hey @illwillbrooks86 guess who's headlining the next tent pole event and who's in the undercard

— Will Brooks (@illwillbrooks86) August 14, 2015

@PatricioPitbull I knew you would start this stuff, you're so small minded, and predictable

— Will Brooks (@illwillbrooks86) August 14, 2015

@PatricioPitbull I really 100% don't care about you main eventing seriously. Just leave me alone so I can do my job and keep it moving

— Will Brooks (@illwillbrooks86) August 14, 2015

@illwillbrooks86 is that all you've got? I'm disappointed. You run your mouth all day long and can't deal with being on the other side.

— Patricio Freire (@PatricioPitbull) August 14, 2015

@illwillbrooks86 poor you, so pitiful. Humility is just for those who are humble. You're an arrogant-childish- coward prick.

— Patricio Freire (@PatricioPitbull) August 14, 2015

— Will Brooks (@illwillbrooks86) August 14, 2015

.@illwillbrooks86 guess you don't know how to read. Humility is reserved to those who're humble. For a prick like you this is the treatment

— Patricio Freire (@PatricioPitbull) August 14, 2015

— Will Brooks (@illwillbrooks86) August 14, 2015

I just want to be left alone to fight my fights and keep it moving. Is that too much to ask for?

— Will Brooks (@illwillbrooks86) August 14, 2015

.@illwillbrooks86 I'm not scared of you. I won't stop just because you're threatening me. You started this. Bring it on, I'll beat you up.

— Patricio Freire (@PatricioPitbull) August 14, 2015

.@illwillbrooks86 you call everyone out, brag all the time about stuff and can't handle the opposite. Don't cry now, chump.

— Patricio Freire (@PatricioPitbull) August 14, 2015

Omfg... I can't wait to see this clown in person.

— Will Brooks (@illwillbrooks86) August 14, 2015

— Will Brooks (@illwillbrooks86) August 14, 2015

@illwillbrooks86 @SAADMMA oh that's so sweet, you two are friends now.

— Patricio Freire (@PatricioPitbull) August 14, 2015

.@SAADMMA @illwillbrooks86 Saad, when you're down in the cage not knowing what happened to you after Patricky I'll be laughing at your face.

— Patricio Freire (@PatricioPitbull) August 14, 2015

.@SAADMMA @illwillbrooks86 still butthurt because I showed support for my brother?

— Patricio Freire (@PatricioPitbull) August 14, 2015

.@SAADMMA you're too sensitive. All butthurt because of that little thing? I didn't know I was dealing with cry babies.

— Patricio Freire (@PatricioPitbull) August 14, 2015

@SAADMMA @illwillbrooks86 so you respected him and wouldn't punish him, but now you lack respect and suddenly can do it? Ok then. Come.

— Patricio Freire (@PatricioPitbull) August 14, 2015

.@SAADMMA @illwillbrooks86 I know the message you'll have for me: "please don't beat my friend like your brother beat me"

— Patricio Freire (@PatricioPitbull) August 14, 2015

@SAADMMA @illwillbrooks86 butthurt, you were the one that tweeted at me. You're really bad at this, stop embarassing yourself.

— Patricio Freire (@PatricioPitbull) August 14, 2015

@SAADMMA @illwillbrooks86 I hope your fighting skills are better than your talking ones so @PatrickyPitbull can at least be entertained

— Patricio Freire (@PatricioPitbull) August 14, 2015

There's some people you can reason with in a calm manner, then there's people you just need to get ugly with, and put hands on them
