It’s not quite against who we expected it to be – but “Iron” Michael Chandler is back.
The former lightweight king will face rising contender; Goiti Yamauchi.
Chandler made the bout official via Instagram.
Chandler (16-4) had his four-fight win streak snapped by Brent Primus at Bellator NYC last June. The bout ended via unfortunate injury after Chandler seemingly rolled his ankle early in the fight. To Primus‘ credit, he did also land some nice leg kicks which did damage as well, but, even whilst on one leg; Chandler still had Primus in trouble at one point.
