Reigning Bellator MMA featherweight champion Patricio Freire added the promotion’s lightweight crown to his collection, as he dethroned Michael Chandler with punches in the first round of their Bellator 221 headliner on Saturday at Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Illinois. Chandler (19-5, 16-5 Bellator) met his anticlimactic end 61 seconds into Round 1.
Despite the heated emotions involved with the match, Freire (29-4, 17-4 Bellator) remained disciplined.
