With the amount of time they’ve had to spend talking about each other, one might think that Brent Primus and Michael Chandler have already fought several times.
But outside of their initial encounter at Bellator NYC in June of last year, it’s primarily been a war of words, and that’s been a frustrating situation for both men. For Chandler, he’s been wanting to regain the Bellator lightweight title that he’s held on two other occasions; for Primus, he’s seeking a measure of respect after picking up a TKO victory over Chandler that was decried as a fluke in some circles due to Chandler being rendered unable to continue due to an ankle injury (Primus has insisted that attacking Chandler’s leg was part of his strategy and that the finish was no accident).
