Where: Bellator 96: Chandler vs. Jansen
Bellator lightweight champ and poster boy Michael Chandler makes a return to the cage for the Bellator summer series when he defends his strap against top contender and tournament winner Dave Jansen.
Chandler is undefeated, as the former collegiate wrestler has dominated all comers. He has beaten a whose-who of Bellator talent, including Rick Hawn, Akihiro Gono, Patricky Freire and Eddie Alvarez.
Jansen has almost double the fights Chandler has had in his career and has been quite successful. His only two losses came in the WEC, but has since won the Bellator tournament, beating Magomed Saadulaev, Ricardo Tirloni and Marcin Held along the way.
Will this be Jansen's crowning moment or will Chandler continue to beast it up in the Bellator 155-pound division?
