Bellator NYC highlights: Look what happened to Michael Chandler's ankle against Brent Primus

Michael Chandler is no longer the Bellator lightweight champion – thanks to Brent Primus and a bum ankle at Saturday’s Bellator NYC event.

The event aired on pay-per-view from Madison Square Garden in New York.

Midway through the first round, Chandler’s (16-4 MMA, 13-4 BMMA) injured leg/ankle forced officials – after some initial confusion – to halt his bout with Primus (8-0 MMA, 6-0 BMMA), who became the new 155-pound champion.

Check out the highlights above.
