Will ‘The Bad Guy’ prove the spoiler once again?
The sight of Scottish lightweight [autotag]Chris Bungard[/autotag] on a fight card is a guarantee of a knock-down, drag-out fight from bell to bell, and the professional wrestling-loving Scot will be more than happy to play the heel against former lightweight champion [autotag]Brent Primus[/autotag] in the night’s co-main event.
Bungard (15-5 MMA, 2-1 BMMA) has a track record when it comes to spoiling the party and upsetting bigger-name opposition. He did so back at Bellator Europe 1 in February 2019 when he took on former two-division BAMMA champion Terry Brazier in Newcastle, England. Brazier was strongly fancied to get the victory and move into a position to face some of the promotion’s big American names, but Bungard had other ideas, and submitted his man inside the first round to claim a show-stealing win.
Now, following a first-round submission win in London in November 2019, “The Bad Guy” is stepping in to replace the injured local hero Peter Queally against Primus (9-1 MMA, 7-1 BMMA) in a bout that could catapult him into the rarified air of championship contendership. Primus is as solid as they come at 155 pounds and will be determined to produce a dominant performance to re-establish his championship credentials. But Scotland’s Bungard will likely get the lion’s share of the support from the Irish crowd, and will fancy his chances of scoring a big upset on the night.
Will Bungard get it done, or will Primus march on toward another shot at the lightweight title?
