A rematch between Michael Chandler and Benson Henderson is set to take place at Bellator Japan.

The bout was made official by Bellator recently and will serve as the co-main event of the promotion’s debut show in Japan which takes place December 28 at the Saitama Super Arena. It will be contested at a catchweight of 160 pounds.

Chandler and Henderson first collided at Bellator 165 back in November 2016. The former came out on top on that occasion winning via split decision to retain his lightweight title at the time.

Since then, Chandler would lose his title twice, most recently earlier this year after getting knocked out by Patricio “Pitbull” Freire. In total, he has gone 3-2.

Henderson, meanwhile, would lose another split decision to Patricky Freire but is currently on a four-fight winning streak. His most recent victory was a unanimous decision win over the debuting Myles Jury at Bellator 227 last month.

Although this is a catchweight, the winner should be next in line to challenge Freire for the lightweight title.

Bellator Japan will be headlined by a heavyweight bout between Fedor Emelianenko and Quinton “Rampage” Jackson.

Benson Henderson Finds UFC’s BMF Title ‘Hilarious’

Benson Henderson isn’t dogging the UFC for its creation of the BMF title, but he does find it humorous. On Nov. 2, Jorge Masvidal and Nate Diaz will compete in the main event of UFC 244. The welterweight bout will be contested for the one-time-on…

Many in the mixed martial arts world are excited for Nate Diaz and Jorge Masvidal to clash. However, Benson Henderson isn’t one of them.

Diaz and Masvidal collide for the BMF belt in the UFC 244 headliner which takes place November 2 in Madison Square Garden, New York. Despite no official title being on the line, the welterweight bout will headline the UFC’s fourth visit to MSG.

But for Bellator’s Henderson — who holds victories over both competitors — the fight is just being promoted well as he believes it doesn’t really mean anything:

“They can put the millions of dollars behind promotion, that’s their job, what they are supposed to do,” Henderson told MMA Fighting (via MMA Mania). “They are a promotion company so their job is to promote things and say, ‘This is a huge fight!’ When you look at it, in reality it doesn’t really mean anything. There is no title on the line.

“There’s a made up title on the line, someone just told me like five minutes ago there is that belt on the line. That’s hilarious. It’s awesome, good for those guys it’s great, but it’s hilarious.”

Henderson was released by the UFC and joined Bellator in 2016. However, he has nothing against the Las Vegas-based promotion. He’s even happy for Diaz and Masvidal:

“But that’s what you do as a promotion. That is their job, so if you say, ‘It’s the BMF title, we put $50,000 behind making a belt,’ that is because it’s their job, to get you to care about it, to watch it, when really it’s not that big of a deal of a fight,” he added.

“It is, great for those guys. But UFC’s job is to spin it, create the thing for more people to watch. They do a great job of that. But for Nate and Jorge, good for them, I am happy for them. I like both those dues, their camps, it’s awesome and I am happy for them.”

Henderson takes on former UFC featherweight Myles Jury in the main event of Bellator 227 this Friday.
