Michael Chandler wants to remember the image of Patricky Freire stiffening up and falling like downed lumber for the rest of his life.
At this past Friday's Bellator 157 card, Chandler regained his lightweight belt, after losing it to Will Brooks in 2014, by knocking out the Brazilian Freire in the first round with a sharp straight right hand. On Monday, the newly crowned Bellator lightweight champion went on The MMA Hour to talk about his performance and what's next for his career.
"It's surreal," Chandler told Ariel Helwani.
