Primus vs Chandler 2 announced
The first defense of Brent Primus’ (8-0) lightweight title reign will come in a rematch against former two-time champ and Missouri native “Iron” Michael Chandler (17-4), when Bellator visits The Family Arena in St. Charles, Missouri on Friday, April 13.
The event will be broadcast live and free on Paramount Network (formerly Spike) at 9 p.m. ET/8 p.m. CT, while preliminary action will stream on Bellator.com and globally on the Bellator Mobile App. Additional bouts will be announced in coming weeks.
Undefeated since turning pro in 2010, Brent Primus will make his seventh appearance for Bellator and his first since winning the title from Chandler inside Madison Square Garden at Bellator NYC last June. On April 13, Primus will enter the cage as champion, adding a new dynamic to a feud that has played out publicly as of late. A native of Eugene, Ore., Primus will look to prove that his victory over Chandler was no fluke and spoil his opponent’s homecoming.
On the heels of his impressive win over Goiti Yamauchi at Bellator 192, Michael Chandler jumps back into action in a state where he has experienced a great deal of success throughout his athletic career.
