Former Bellator lightweight champion Michael Chandler has a lot he could complain about right now, but chances are you’ll never hear him say it. Chandler lost a very controversial decision to Will Brooks at the Bellator pay-per-view a few weeks ago that many would have scored in his favor. While the bout was back and forth and seemingly split at two rounds piece going into the final round, Chandler got a knockdown and a takedown to pull ahead before the fight came to an end. It looked like enough for him to earn a victory, but the judges saw it a different way. Instead, he left Mississippi that night with a loss on his record and no interim Bellator title. The only reason Chandler was in this fight in the first place was because his original opponent Eddie Alvarez was forced out of their bout due to a concussion suffered in training and Brooks was asked to step in last minute to give the pay-per-view a lightweight title fight as promised.
