Michael Chandler, a former Bellator champion, responded to the news of a possible sale of the promotion.
“It's definitely an emotional moment for me. I don't know where I would be now if it weren't for Bellator. Scott Coker personally invited me to the 300th tournament. This league has been a part of my life for a long time. There were ups and downs and I learned a lot. It will be a sad moment. “It’s largely thanks to me that Bellator has become so popular,” said the fighter.
