Brent Primus says he’s been waiting ‘weeks’ for Michael Chandler to sign contract

Brent Primus was thrilled to see rival Michael Chandler officially re-sign with Bellator.

The only thing that will make him happier is if the two can finally have their rematch.

Last June, Primus took the lightweight championship from Michael Chandler at Bellator NYC, winning by TKO 2:22 into the opening round. The bout was waved off when Chandler suffered an ankle injury, a mishap that Chandler has downplayed as a freak accident while Primus has repeatedly stated that it was his attacks on Chandler’s leg that led to the finish.

The two were set to settle the score at Bellator 197 in April, but a knee injury forced Primus to withdraw from that encounter and he has now been out of action for over 400 days.
