If nothing else, Michael Chandler is at least happy to be able to walk under his own power.
Little else has gone right for the former Bellator lightweight champion since he’s been in New York City. Chandler lost his belt to Brent Primus on Saturday night at Madison Square Garden at Bellator NYC.
Chandler clearly was winning the fight in the first round of their title matchup, but he was also hobbled by a left foot injury which appeared perilously close to disaster. New York State Athletic Commission referee Todd Anderson waved off the fight despite his protests -- evidently on the advice of ringside doctors — and awarded Primus the belt via TKO.
