Patrice Evra set for potential MMA fight with Luis Suarez

Former Manchester United defender Patrice Evra is gearing up for a potential MMA fight with Luis Suarez, fueled by their long-standing feud.

Evra, set to make his MMA debut under the PFL promotion on May 23rd in Paris, has expressed interest in facing Suarez.

Unresolved rivalry

The tension between the two dates back to 2011, when Suarez was found guilty of racially abusing Evra during a match at Liverpool.

Suarez was banned for eight games, and the incident left a lasting impact on their relationship.

Evra revealed that Suarez's team has reportedly contacted the PFL, but he's skeptical about Suarez's willingness to participate, given his ongoing football career.

In an interview with MMA journalist Ariel Helwani, Evra explained his motivation for the potential fight.

He said, "He had some racist abuse. I want to do this fight. I think the world wants to see that fight."

The two have had a strained relationship since the incident, with Suarez refusing to shake Evra's hand when they met again.
