Bellator 163 takes place at the SAP Center in San Jose, Calif., and will also include a welterweight contest pitting Michael Page against Fernando Gonzalez. The evening’s main card will air on Spike TV.
The former UFC lightweight king, Henderson dropped a lopsided five-round verdict to Andrey Koreshkov for the welterweight title in his Bellator debut this past April. Chandler claimed the lightweight strap recently vacated by the UFC-bound Will Brooks with a vicious knockout of Patricky Freire at Bellator 157.
