Bellator 165: "Chandler vs. Henderson" comes to SAP Center in San Jose, Calif., on Nov. 19, 2016. The headlining fight that night on Spike TV will see Lightweight champion "Iron" Michael Chandler go one-on-one with former World Extreme Cagefighting (WEC) and Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Lightweight champion "Smooth" Benson Henderson.
Also announced for the main card that night is experienced kickboxer Keri Anne Taylor-Melendez, who will be taking her first professional mixed martial arts (MMA) fight against Sheila Padilla (2-0). The "Queen of the Skrap Pack" -- and wife of famed Lightweight fighter Gilbert Melendez -- has long been expected to jump into the fray in the Flyweight division since she was signed last June,; however, her Bellator appearances so far have been kickboxing bouts with one-sided dominant performances.
