Bellator 240 and Bellator Dublin results: Brent Primus continues run back to the title

Former Bellator lightweight champion. Brent Primus continued his run back to title contention with a main event victory at Bellator 240 on Saturday in Dublin, Ireland.

Primus won the 155-pound title by defeating Michael Chandler at Bellator NYC in 2017. He lost the belt in an immediate rematch, but has since strung together back-to-back victories over Tim Wilde and Chris Bungard.

Chandler has since lost the lightweight belt to Patricio “Pitbull” Freire, whom Primus is now chasing following his second-round neck crank finish of Chris Bungard at Bellator 240.
