Apparently Michael Chandler signed the contract.
According to multiple reports, Chandler will attempt to regain the lightweight championship he lost in a rematch with Brent Primus at a Bellator event on Dec. 10. Fansided initially reported the bout, and ESPN.com confirmed the date on Tuesday.
Bellator has not officially announced the bout, and a venue and location for the event have not been confirmed. Assuming the date holds up, the card will take place one day prior to Bellator’s Hawaiian debut, which is headlined by a women’s flyweight championship bout between Ilima-Lei Macfarlane and Brent Primus.
