Bellator 157: "Dynamite 2" comes to Scottrade Center in St. Louis, Mo., this Friday night (June 24, 2016) at 8 p.m. ET featuring a 215-pound Catchweight main event fight between Quinton "Rampage" Jackson and Satoshi Ishii.
Second from the top of the Spike TV-televised event is a critical Lightweight fight between Michael Chandler vs. Patricky "Pitbull" Freire. The winner will be crowned the new 155-pound champion after the promotion released the reigning champion "Ill" Will Brooks last month.
This is not the first time that Chandler and Freire have met -- on his road to becoming a Lightweight champion, Chandler faced Freire at Bellator 44 back in 2011, earning a hard-fought unanimous decision win before going on to defeat then-champion Eddie Alvarez six months later.
