MMA fighter Michael Chandler proved how incredibly tough he is in front of the Madison Square Garden faithful at Bellator NYC on Saturday night.
During his lightweight title fight against Brent Primus, Chandler suffered a devastating ankle injury, but continued to battle for as long as the powers that be would allow.

The fight was ultimately called as Chandler’s ankle appeared to be broken, and Primus became champion.
While being looked at by his corner, a frustrated Chandler shouted at everyone in the cage for stopping the fight.
When he got up in a fit of rage, an official inexplicably swiped his chair, which caused him to fall to the canvas butt-first.
Ha… They just pulled the stool out from Michael Chandler before he went to sit down, causing him to crash to the canvas, then he gets TKOd pic.twitter.com/9cjAQp9SH1
