Wow, thread seems to be dead for a fight that most have been wanting to see run-back after what happened happened. I can't wait! Chandler is a very talented fighter, but he has a knack for losing to fighters he "shouldn't lose to". I am still baffled at the Will Brooks fights. A lot of people wonder why Chandler hasn't ditched Bellator for the UFC, but I have a theory. I think he would've been gone already if he held the belt for a substantial amount of time. He would've had good negotiating leverage, and would've been able to command a pretty penny from the UFC if enough momentum was to build up around him. WIth his losses and inability to keep the belt, his stock has lowered drastically, and honestly, from the UFC perspective it makes sense. They want the best of the best in their org, and people are already skeptical of fighters outside of the UFC even when they're title holders, so they're really not in the ball park to take someone like Chandler who keeps having these weird losses. If they did , he'd be taking a pay cut from what he probably makes with Bellator now.
Primus is weird too. He began his career in Bellator looking good against pretty low level competition, but the more he stepped up, he just looked pedestrian and then he had the fight against Chandler and became champ in a weird fashion. Here's hoping they bring the best out of each other and put on a good showing.
