Patricio Freire Says He Is Better than the Best Fighters in the UFC

At Bellator 221, Patricio Freire became just the second fighter in Bellator MMA history to become a simultaneous two-division champion.

In the main event, he knocked out lightweight champion Michael Chandler in just 61 seconds. However, when the ref stepped in, Chandler got up immediately which led some to believe he was never out. According to "Pitbull," though, he knows Chandler was out but doesn't mind running it back.

"Everyone who knows anything about fighting knows he was knocked down and stop reacting for a few seconds when he was on the ground," he said to Bloody Elbow on Thursday.
