Michael Chandler vs. David Rickels rematch added to Bellator 145
Fitting in with the event name, Chandler will face David Rickels in a rematch at Bellator 145: Vengeance on Nov. 5 in St. Louis, Bellator announced Tuesday.
Chandler (13-3), the former Bellator lightweight champ, is coming off a first-round submission win over Derek Campos at Bellator 138 in June. Before that, he lost three in a row, but two were controversial decision losses to Eddie Alvarez and Will Brooks. Brooks beat Chandler last November via fourth-round TKO to win the vacant Bellator lightweight belt. Chandler, 29, was undefeated before that losing streak.
