Benson Henderson out of Bellator 237, Sidney Outlaw steps in vs. Michael Chandler

The rematch between Michael Chandler and Benson Henderson will have to wait.

Henderson (28-8 MMA, 5-3 BMMA) has suffered an injury that’s forced him to withdraw from his planned rematch with Chandler (19-5 MMA, 16-5 BMMA) at Bellator 237 this month. As a result, Sidney Outlaw (13-3 MMA, 1-0 BMMA) has agreed to step in to face the former three-time lightweight champion.
