At the Bellator 221 event that happened earlier this month, Patricio Freire and Michael Chandler went toe-to-toe against each other and Patricio Pitbull knocked out Michael Chandler in 61 seconds. Therefore, Freire became the lightweight champion and also became a Bellator champ-champ.
However, Chandler has repeatedly disputed the referee stoppage. He believes that the fight should have carried on.
There has been no love lost between the two fighters though. On Saturday, Freire took to Twitter to gloat about his win. He shared a video of the fight’s conclusion, along with a pre-fight quote from Chandler in which he boasts of being better than “Pitbull” all around. Freire also included Chandler’s Twitter handle to make sure he’d see it.

Now that’s what we call SAVAGE! That is definitely rubbing some salt on Michael Chandler’s wounds.
