Bellator is back in the Chicago area this week, and the promotion is producing a special “Countdown” series. Bellator 221 takes place Saturday at Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Ill., near Chicago. The main card streams on DAZN following prelims on MMA Junkie. In the main event, lightweight champion Michael Chandler (19-4 MMA, 16-4 BMMA) puts his title on the line against Patricio Freire (28-4 MMA, 16-4 BMMA), the promotion’s featherweight champ. “Pitbull” Freire will be attempting to become Bellator’s next two-division titleholder. The fight arguably is the biggest grudge match in Bellator history
