Bellator Birmingham is set to kick off today, May 4th, from the United Kingdom, headlined by former lightweight champ Brent Primus taking on England’s own Tim Wilde.
This will be Primus’ first bout back since dropping his title in his rematch with current 155-pound king Michael Chandler. Don’t let his record fool you. With a youthful 8-1 under his belt, Primus reached the mountaintop relatively early in his career, but he actually made his pro debut way back in 2010. Primus is a sizable lightweight with a high skillset in the grappling department, he hits reasonably hard, and possesses a sturdy chin which is always a plus.
