It’s hard to say exactly where Bellator would be today if Michael Chandler wasn’t a part of its roster. The Missouri native has been fighting for the promotion since Bellator 31, and he’s been involved in several of the greatest scraps the promotion has ever put on.
Chandler will be in action once again in one of the featured bouts at Bellator NYC “Sonnen vs. Silva” on Saturday night when he puts his lightweight title on the line against Brent Primus. Aside from a three-fight losing streak a few years back, Chandler has been nearly impossible to beat inside the cage.
