Douglas Lima, Michael Chandler defend titles at Bellator 180

An already massive card has gained more firepower in the form of two huge title fights.

Douglas Lima will defend his Bellator Welterweight Championship against Strikeforce, UFC veteran Lorenz Larkin. “Iron” Michael Chandler will look to defend his Bellator Lightweight Championship in a rather surprising fight against rising prospect Brent Primus.

The Lima-Larkin matchup was announced via The LA Times. The folks over at MMA Fighting were the first to report Chandler-Primus.
