For the first time in his career, Bellator season-four lightweight
tourney finalist Michael Chandler couldn’t seal the
deal.
Despite outwrestling semifinal opponent Lloyd Woodard at this past
Saturday’s Bellator 40 event, Chandler went the distance with the
scrappy “Cupcake” en route to booking a future bout with Patricky
“Pitbull” Freire. It was the first time since turning pro that one of
Chandler’s opponents made it to the final bell.
And while the Xtreme Couture product is disappointed that he was unable
to score a finish, the former University of Missouri All-American
wrestler believes the result may actually have been a blessing in
disguise.
