The former lightweight champion opened up about getting another shot at the Bellator lightweight title, reuniting with longtime grappling coach, Neil Melanson by joining the Blackzilian camp, and preparing for Patrick "Pitbull" Freire's power.
ST. LOUIS--There is no love lost between Michael Chandler and former Bellator lightweight champion, Will Brooks. That has been well documented.
Aside from having words back and worth several times via social media, Brooks took the title from Chandler at Bellator 120 and finished him in their rematch at Bellator 131. However, Chandler is not the least bit upset he's facing Patricky "Pitbull" Freire at Bellator 157: Dynamite 2 instead of Brooks for a third time and getting a chance to avenge those losses.
