Patrice Evra, the former Manchester United defender, is set to debut as an MMA fighter on May 23 in Paris. In a playful nod to their past encounters, he expressed a desire to face Luis Suárez, referencing Suárez's notorious biting incidents. Evra, known for his achievements in football, including five Premier League titles, is currently training for the fight, emphasizing the significance of this event. He aims to put on an exciting performance at the Accor Arena, alongside fellow fighter Cédric Doumbé, as he transitions into this new athletic challenge.
"BREAKING: I'm officially training for my first fight with @PFLEurope. They will pick my opponent ... They asked who I wanna face. I said: Luis Suárez. I'll pay out of pocket. He can even bite me," Evra wrote in a post on X.
"You guys should know by now, I love this game too! I've performed on the world's biggest stages, won every major trophy in football, but PFL Europe Paris will be an incredibly special night for me."
"I've been training alongside the best in the world for years, and they'll also tell you I'm ready for this. I'm going to put on a show at the Accor Arena on 23 May, so come watch the spectacle."
