He lost three consecutive bouts between 2013 and 2014 but he came back to win in 2015 defeating Derek Campos (=Chandler vs Campos).
His opponent, the Bellator Lw tournament champion (season 8) David Rickels, has a record of 16-3-0 (62% finishing rate) and he entered as the No.49 in the same weight class. He fought twice last year, losing to Patricky Freire (=Rickels vs Freire) and winning over Davi Ramos; he has also fought in 2015 but the bout ended in a no-contest (=Rickels vs Alessio). In their first fight Chandler beat Rickels in less than a minute (July 31, 2013 Chandler vs Rickels I); this second bout is on the undercard of Patricio Freire vs Daniel Straus 3 – Bellator 145.
