Chandler (Twitter: @MikeChandlerMMA), who is undefeated with a career record of 11-0, is coming off a successful title defense against Rick Hawn at Bellator 85.  He puts his title on the line again at Bellator 97 against David Rickels at Santa Ana Star Center in Albuquerque, N.M.

Jenkins (Twitter: @2sinsurrJenkins) is an up-and-coming mixed martial artist with high expectations.  He's undefeated in his first three pro MMA bouts, and debuts in Bellator at Bellator 97 against Mike Barreras.

Howard (Twitter: @JohnDoomsday) was released from the UFC after a three-fight losing streak, but has managed to string together a 6-1 record since his departure and made his way back to the world's premiere MMA promotion.  Howard is expected to meet Urijah Hall at UFC on FS1 1 on August 17 at the TD Garden in Boston, Mass.
