Former Bellator lightweight champion Brent Primus was handed a late-notice change of assignment at Bellator 240, but he produced a professional performance to finish Chris Bungard and reassert his championship credentials at the 3Arena, Dublin. Scotland’s Bungard (15-6 MMA, 2-2 BMMA) stepped in at just over three weeks’ notice to face Primus (10-1 MMA, 8-1 BMMA) and looked to catch the former champion cold as he stuffed an early takedown attempt and hammered Primus with a succession of elbows to the head before jumping on a guillotine choke attempt. Primus managed to extricate himself from the hold before turning the tables on the Scot. He moved to Bungard’s back and attempted to lock up a rear-naked choke
