It has been nearly four years since Michael Chandler defended the Bellator lightweight championship from former UFC and WEC champion Benson Henderson. Neither of them has the belt now, but will square off on Friday night with the winner hoping to earn a shot at the belt.
Chandler and Henderson easily made weight at Thursday’s Bellator 243 weigh-in at Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, Conn., setting up their lightweight main event.
Watch as Chandler, Henderson, and the rest of the Bellator 243 fighters weighed in.
