NEW YORK – Michael Chandler doesn’t go the distance often, but he knows he’s in for another battle when he rematches Benson Henderson . Former three-time Bellator lightweight champion Chandler (20-5 MMA, 17-5 BMMA) first faced Henderson (28-8 MMA, 5-3 BMMA) over three years ago, edging him out in a back-and-forth battle to retain his title. The two will run it back in the main event of Bellator 244 on June 6 in Chicago in a title eliminator bout. They were originally scheduled to meet this past December, but an injury forced Henderson out, and Chandler faced Sidney Outlaw instead, knocking him out in the first round. With another win under his belt, the stakes are higher for Chandler, who looks to get yet another opportunity at the title with a win – but it’s a position with which he’s certainly familiar.
