Bellator lightweight competitor Patricky “Pitbull” Freire is not happy.

Freire dropped a unanimous decision to Michael Chandler at May’s
Bellator 44 event, falling one step short of a tournament win and a
championship bid. He’s used that memory as motivation ever since.

“I feel even more determined to win the Bellator lightweight
championship because I came so close before,” Freire said. “I don’t ever
want to feel the taste of defeat again.”
