Former UFC champ Bendo vs former Bellator champ Chandler possible

[UrijahHall]

We got to see Eddie Alvarez ve Giblert Melendez. Now we might see Bendo vs Chandler.

Who you got?

(would be a short notice fight for Bendo coming off a recent loss & opponent change for Chandler)

 

[Breaking]

Noice.

 

[Arm Barbarian]

I thought Bendo retired after his last fight?

 

[UrijahHall]

Nice.

Nice, but too bad it won't be full camp.

 

[Rob_M.]

Is this at 155? Would be better for Ben if it is. He's probably still in decent shape.

 

[FlyingKimurabar]

wtf is going on with will brooks?

Would be good to see Bendo in fighting Chandler or Brooks. He left the UFC as someone who should be a top 5 LW. He def should of won against Cerrone.

 

[BokaBokte]

Bendo needs easy match up at this point. Let him gain some confidence back.

Full camp Chandler might not be a "confidence fight" for short notice Benson.

I'd pick Benson handily if they were both equally prepared tho.

 

[Magnum1978]

Good fight. Could go either way. Its stacked at LW so anyone in the top 10-15 has a reasonable chance to defeat anyone else on any given day

wtf is going on with will brooks?

Would be good to see Bendo in fighting Chandler or Brooks. He left the UFC as someone who should be a top 5 LW. He def should of won against Cerrone.

the rumor is that will brooks is going to try to get out of his contract, so bellator is just letting it expire and keeping him on the shelf rather than giving him a fight and potentially having him get more exposure and another win over one of their contenders before jumping ship like Eddie

Bendo is starting to look like Miguel Torres

That's what I am saying. He needs another fight. Not a Chandler fight.

His contracts up in July and it seems he really wants to be in the UFC according to his Twitter

What made you think that?

 

[Large Hound 77]

Please be at LW, don't want to see Bendo get beat up by much bigger guys anymore

 

[themainman]

Chandler is great but if he wins shills will think it's cause bends isn't good anymore not that chandler and koreshkov are great

 

[Matthew Fedler]

Bendo took a beating in his loss to Koreshkov. I don't doubt that he would be willing to step in, but sometimes fighters need to be saved from themselves. I believe he was suspended for 60 days due to a potential concussion.

 

[Jkaylor]

Nice

 

[CatchnShoot]

Great fight, and it'd be a much better fit for Benson then Koreshkov was.

If that is the case then fuck Bellator.
