Michael Chandler and Benson Henderson are set to square off in a rematch at Bellator Japan on Dec. 28 at Saitama Super Arena in Tokyo, the promotion announced Friday on the Bellator 231 broadcast.
Chandler vs. Henderson will serve as the event’s co-headliner. They will compete at a catchweight of 160 pounds.
Chandler, a former Bellator three-time lightweight champion, dropped the belt in his last fight, suffering a first-round knockout loss to Patricio Freire at Bellator 221 in May. Prior to that, he recaptured the title in a rematch with Brent Primus and also picked up wins over Brandon Girtz and Goiti Yamauchi.
