At this point, Bellator champion Michael Chandler has made it bundantly clear that he wants to fight Josh Thomson . The two were supposed to meet this past May, but an injury forced Thomson (22-8 MMA, 2-0 BMMA) to withdraw two weeks before their Bellator 154 appointment. Chandler (16-3 MMA, 13-3 BMMA) went on to fight twice more, taking the vacant 155-pound belt with a knockout win over Patricky Freire and defending it with a split call over former UFC champ Benson Henderson. Speaking to MMAjunkie Radio, Chandler reiterated that Thomson – who didn’t fight for the duration of 2016 – is next in line. But, before agreeing to the bout, he has a few conditions of his own.
