Every time Michael Chandler enters a cage to compete, expect a tweet from Patricio Freire.
Chandler, a former Bellator lightweight champion, beat Freire’s brother Patricky Freire twice in 2011 and 2016. But “Pitbull” got the last laugh for the family, knocking him out in May 2019 to become a two-division Bellator king. Chandler isn’t on the Bellator roster anymore, but when he knocked out Dan Hooker at UFC 257, Freire was quick to compliment him — with a quick jab, of course.
“Michael Chandler’s performance in his UFC debut was great,” Freire said in an interview with MMA Fighting.
