A native of Portland, Oregon, Primus dropped Chandler with a powerful jab and then took challenger’s back. He attempted a finished a rear-naked choke, but Chandler was able to slip away and then turn into Primus in the second round. Byt the third frame, Primus landed some great shots on feet, but Chandler also hurled some low single leg and started grinding champion. By the fourth and fifth round, Brent failed to answer Chandler's wrestling game plan and lost the bout via unanimous decision as Chandler swept all three judges’ scorecards.
