Michael Chandler: If I fought Will Brooks at Bellator 138, 'I would have won hands down'

Michael Chandler steamrolled Derek Campos at Bellator 138, finishing him by submission in the first round. If it were lightweight champion Will Brooks standing across the cage, Chandler doesn't think the result would have been much different.

"If I would have fought Will Brooks [last Friday], I would have won hands down," Chandler told Ariel Helwani on Monday's edition of The MMA Hour. "No ifs, ands or buts. I'm 100 percent confident in that."

Before Friday night in St. Louis, Chandler, the former Bellator lightweight champ, had gone nearly two years without a victory.
