Bellator lightweight champion Brent Primus has emerged with some bold words for Michael Chandler.

Primus (8-0 MMA, 6-0 BMMA), who has not competed since taking the 155-pound title from Chandler (18-4 MMA, 15-4 BMMA) by first-round TKO at Bellator NYC in June 2017, is finally healthy after a series of injuries and apparently ready to compete again.

He made that much clear today, encouraging Chandler, who just recently signed a new Bellator deal, to put pen to paper on a bout agreement (via Twitter):

@MikeChandlerMMA sign the contract bitch! Sick of waiting! You can fight @Ealvarezfight or who ever after I’m done with you

Bellator has attempted to put together a rematch between Primus and Chandler since their first encounter 14 months ago. The fight ended in controversial fashion, with Chandler suffering a gruesome leg injury just minutes into the first round.

Primus, an honorable mention in the latest USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie MMA lightweight rankings, has taken credit for hurting Chandler in the fight, but “Iron” feels it was a self-inflicted issue. They attempted to settle the issue at Bellator 197 in April, but Primus was forced to withdraw due to injury.

After signing his new Bellator contract, Chandler said his most desired matchup would be a trilogy with Eddie Alvarez, who finished his UFC contract with his loss to Dustin Poirier at UFC on FOX 30 in July.

The rematch with Primus seems to be the direction, though, with MMAjunkie learning the organization has plans for the fight at an unannounced event on Dec. 14.
