Despite Bellator 40 decision result, Chandler says lessons learned for Freire clash

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.
