Brent Primus

Combat Sports

Brent Primus is an American mixed martial artist, born on April 12, 1985, and raised in Eugene, Oregon. He trained in Brazilian jiu-jitsu and earned a black belt in about six years, after a difficult youth that ended with a friend signing him up for an amateur fight. He turned professional in 2010 and signed with Bellator in 2013. In June 2017 he stopped the champion Michael Chandler in the first round at Bellator New York to win the Bellator Lightweight World Championship, one of the larger upsets in that promotion's history, and he lost the belt back to Chandler in a December 2018 rematch. He later fought for the Professional Fighters League, reaching the lightweight final in 2024.
