Michael Chandler, Brent Primus, Bellator

The lightweight belt was on the line in tonight’s Bellator 212 main event as reigning division champion Brent Primus squared off with former title holder Michael Chandler.

Michael Chandler had previously surrendered his Bellator lightweight world title to Brent Primus in June of 2017, this after suffering a leg injury that resulted in an eventual TKO.

Chandler enters tonight’s rematch having reeled off two wins in a row, most recently submitting Brandon Girtz at Bellator 197.

Meanwhile, Brent Primus will compete for the first time since defeating Michael Chandler at Bellator NYC. The 33-year-old enters tonight’s title fight sporting a perfect professional record of 8-0.

Michael Chandler was able to find success early in the opening round, dropping Brent Primus with a left hand. After Primus quickly returned to his feet, Chandler utilized a ton of forward pressure to once again get inside position and reeled off yet another big punch, this time a right, that staggered Primus.
