Patricio Freire seems very confident over his abilities. He is the lightweight and featherweight champion in Bellator and has been exceptional inside the cage. Freire has defeated Michael Chandler in just a minute to capture the lightweight title.

But Patricio Freire believes that even though he smashed Chandler in less than a minute, he can cause more than that damage to UFC fighters .

While speaking with MMA Fighting, Freire claimed that Chandler still has the right to match the offer. “His future is uncertain, it looks like he will talk to Dana White and Bellator still has the right to match the offer. He has already shown interest in fighting for ONE, and I think he will go there. He has been teasing a trilogy with Eddie Alvarez for a while and we know that the Asian company is paying these big name guys really well. Chandler, the way he is now in Bellator, he can get in the UFC and do some damage,” Freire said. “(ONE has) money, the trilogy he wants to do with Eddie Alvarez, which we know would get him good money that the UFC might not pay him.”
