Bruh put this video out and say unknown injury just for Connor to reveal that he broke his toe a min later.. goddam RUclips timing is a problem 😂😂😂 Great vid BTW bro
@@manucorleone3877 I literally found out by this comment lol
@@tjlovesfights Damm 🤣🤣
Bro you know USADA came out with an official statement that the UFC deal was ending was in no way related to Conor. Look it up hunter had to hold a press conference to clear things up.
@@manucorleone3877 Yahushua HaMashiach is the Truth
Chandler wasted 2 years of chandlers career
You fucker I was coming to comment that 😂
How lol?
@@Dominknowshe waited after it got postponed the first time and he already knew when he called him out how long it was gunna take his leg
he wasted 2 years chasing his wife while she was with other dudes . hes used to it dont worry
@@Dominknowshe chose to not fight when he could’ve had the activity advantage
How Conor helped Chandlers brain recover 😂
Chandler's only got 1 brain for his whole life 😂
This may be the least amount of CTE issues Chandler has had to deal with since Bellator honestly.
If chandler hasn’t been hard sparring maybe that has given time for the tou in his brain dissolve. So maybe your right coner may have saved Micheal chandler from forgetting his kids name by his 50s.😂
Yoooo all we need is paradoxx and sideA and we got the whole gang
He doesn’t want his brain to recover too much, waking up to a social media wife, two black kids, and spray painted walls is a hell of a thing to wake up to.
At this point just retire bro. Your damn near 36 failing to fight a 38 year old smh
Other way around 😂😂😂
periera is 36 still destroying people
@@cmend Pereira has had damn near 9 fights since Conor’s last fight and is a 205’er
@@cmenddifference is, he's a lightheavy/heavy weight fighter. He's a big human, the bigger you are the longer you take to go downhill. Why do you think fighters like Teixeira were still champions at their age?
I don't understand why Michael Chandler didn't seem to notice that a man named Conor doesn't exist anymore. Conor doesn't have the same color hair, his skin, and jawline are also noticeably different. And it's unfortunate that Michael Chandler didn't notice. I'd like to say something rude about Chandler's lack of observation, but the audience also didn't notice. The fight won't happen, obviously.
Nobody told Chandler to wait for him bro tf
I love Chandlers fights bro could’ve have a few more great matches but nah he on Twitter like the rest
“You’ll do what your told” such a hard line 😂 😭
I don't even think casuals are hyped for this one. If it was 2015, sure; but every fan who was there at the time is either a dedicated fan, or has moved on.
all my casual friends didnt know he was fighting this month and they sure as hell didnt know when he pulled out, aura is gone
@@thecookalejandroaura is gone😭😭 god i love our younger generation slang
If it was 2015 conor literally wouldve dogwalked chandler. At least now theres a narrative to make this fight interesting
@@FloRidaVEVO98the only person he's dog walking is 5" 0' featherweight midgets

What fight?
What pisses me off most about Chandler is the fact that he decided to wait. Okay, Conor injured, so do fights in between instead of sitting around? Df are you waiting two years for a fight that isn’t even a title fight when he could had remained active and continue to build his star power. I feel like people would be looking at him the same way as Justin if he stayed active, but instead he waits two years.
He did not fight cause he might lose and if he lose he will lose the conor fight its so complex
Because Chandler is getting old and wants to retire with a bag without taking much damage. It’s not a hard to figure out
@@parkerlamarbrook Lets be honest, to put all your eggs into 1 basket isnt a great idea, if you really need money that bad. And Conor being Conor its a mental idea to rely its gonna pan out with him.
Because the Conor fight will get him paid more than him having to risk fighting and taking an L.
why would he want more brain damage and less money. thats stupid bro cmon now
Your missing the fact that it’s one fight for 2-3 million dollars vs 3-4 fights. At chandlers age he might only have 1 or 2 bangers left in him.
Exactly. 1 fight for like 4m dollars + increased popularity and star power is definitely better than having 4 hard wars along with full training camps at 36 making around only 2 to 2.5m. Dk why no one sees this simple logic behind Chandler's decison.
Wrong. This one fight will be 10x what chandler makes on his usual contract, meaning it’s equal to 10 fights. Plus all the other back end money. Chandlers not an idiot. One fight that will equal the amount of 10? I would wait for 2 years bro 😂 this is def the last check before he retires
@fredo.videography wrong . The red panty night is a fallacy look up the fighters talking about how they barely made any more fighting connor Chandler wasted time
@@RhynnMedia They fought him on standard contracts dummy
Chandler needed a better coach who taught him not to get hit so many times and use his energy wisely, he needed a better camp. Also I don't think he gets a big cut from the PPV like Conor gets and that would be barely 750- 1 million max in a non title fight. As if Dana is going to give him a lot of money after being so inactive and not making Dana money, I think it is stupid
what a weird situation, imagine another man being in charge of your career
This is almost all job situations, most people have a boss
@@ottorasmussen2967No one told Chandler that he can’t fight lol, he wanted to wait for Conor. That’s his fault
You see everyday, you probably work a job where someone is charge of you and can fire you.
@@Whoopie463 So Dana would fire Chandler if he took another fight? No, he would just book Conor another fight for his return. No one is stopping Chandler from fighting except Chandler, he’s so worried about Dana giving someone else the Conor fight that he’s willing to take 2 years off to wait for it
Chandler literally doing what Conor told him to do.
Conor literally just announced it was a broken toe, timing is insane lmfaoooo
That line by Arman was absolutely savage damn 😂
I remember watching your first couple of videos when they first dropped to get a better understanding of boxing belts/rankings. You’ve grown tremendously since then and every week you drop an interesting video. Crazy how you’ve become one of the top fight community channels. Keep it up, very inspiring!
Title change: Michael Chandler wastes 2 years of his own career.
correct
People are finally realizing that Conor isn't just edging Chandler, but us fans as well.
6:23 The comment ”Chandler boutta adopt the guy behind him”💀
Chandler has took a lot of damage throughout his career, and had never been in a boring fight, If he wanted to make another title run, he would’ve. it’s clear this man only has 1 fight left in the tank and he had that in mind since the poirier loss. you can’t blame the man for wanting to go out with a bag. lets be honest, chandler would’ve went out in a brutal way if he continued on fighting contenders.
1 fight for like 4m dollars + increased popularity and star power is definitely better than having 4 hard wars along with full training camps at 36 making around only 2 to 2.5m. Dk why no one sees this simple logic behind Chandler's decison.
The problem is risk. I lot of people don't think Cocainor Mcdruggor will actually come to fight. He is using the hype to help projects like the film but he isn't actually planning to fight
You really think Dana is going to give Chandler 4 million for a non title fight?
@@9ine-fd6zc look how much poirier made in the 2nd and 3rd fight vs conor. Those were non title fights too. I'm sure that Chandler is on the same level as Dustin and he will get PPV points. With a base salary of 1M or 1.5M$ and assuming PPV Buys as 1.5M, he will get 3M$( 2 dollars per buy) he will get more than 4M$ fs excluding Bonuses, Sponsorship etc...
Volkanovski was making 700k per fight before ppv points. What makes you think chandler is making 2 million? Also Chandler doesn't get ppv points so he wouldn't make any more fighting conor. Just ask cowboy and Alvarez how much they got paid to fight conor
That's why Leon Edwards has the most aesthetic physique
Can't wait to see Belal split decision win over Leon Edwards just for the meme 🗣️📣🔥
You outta pocket 😂
F#(k Edwards! Boring and inactive. Literally single-handedly made me (and a bunch of other people) miss Usman!
Costa mogs Leon

The way you share perspective is very well done. Youre the USP for this channel. Great work
Its like actually doing your job vs striking a lottery ticket 🤣
Anyone could have told Chandler that McGregor is never fighting again.
Conor's best mental warfare yet
Bro said he broke a toe 😭😭
babe wake up new tj video
Rahhhh
You aint got no hoes
Taking shit that makes your fuckin head grow💀
nice video man
I am ready to boost your Channel by 200 percent
I think fighting and getting more cte is way worse then getting knocked down once
Connor can’t fight because of a broken toe? Alex will fill in on short notice with a broken toe on each foot. Huge L from Connor.
Waiting for Conor and making more money than you would fighting 3 times and avoiding brain damage is a win
Yeah expect what money is he making right now? How is this a win for him
Mcgregor literally the Kanye of the UFC
Chandler did this to himself bud, he could have fought someone else. He chose not to because he didn’t wanna risk a loss to lose the spot. He gambled. he lost. It happens.
Comfortability is not a word anyone should be using
Chandler is never touching that about. He knows that he’s in for the absolute payday. He’s a old fighter. He knows that stop.
This gonna be the new Khabib vs Ferguson
Great video big dog this what I've been saying lmao
Good video, but let me push back a little. I like the way you laid out Chandler's path of what he could have been doing in the meantime, but remember that's just a best-case scenario. Dariush, Armen, Gamerot...I'd say those are all winnable for Chandler. They're all loseable, too, though. He loses a couple or maybe even one of those fights, he's a big step back. If he loses to Dariush, for example (which maybe he has an advantage over Dariush, but he could easily lose to him IMO), you can forget all that fighting for the BMF, working up to a LW title shot, fighting Conor in the future. Plus the paydays will probably be less because now he's fighting lower-ranked guys. Three fights also means three chances of injury. Maybe he beats Dariush, but gets busted up and is out for a year or more. Chandler is a special case and he's somewhat able to bounce back from losses because of how exciting and likable he is, but even he has a line somewhere where fans will give up on him.
I'm not saying it's the best for him to wait for Conor. Obviously, Conor is not trustworthy and there's some risk in working with him at this point. I just wouldn't pretend that it's given that the other path would work out nice for Chandler. He's getting older and there's a lot of things that can go wrong for an aging guy in a tough division like LW.
Micheal Chandler: “SEE YALL AT THE RETIREMENT HOME”
Chandler should’ve fought for his legacy, but waited for the money. I can understand that.
Conor is never going to fight and casuals and ufc are delusional to this. The hype and spotlight is gone.
Why do I hear an open car door in the background
That's the issue that everyone has raised in the midst of this, because Chandler has had to stay ready for whatever the announced date will be for his fight with Mcgregor, has his body had enough time to recover would he come into a fight with Mcgregor over trained and under recovered, we saw this years ago when Mayhem Miller fought Michael Bisping (Miller had not fought since September 2010 and had been hard camps/training all the way till December 2011 when he fought) By that time I recall Bisping pointing out he looks over trained.
It has to be a personal vendetta at this point
Nah, chandler just knows he'd lose to most people in the lightweight top 10, get more brain damage and possibly lose the conor payday if he has too many consecutive losses, that's why he's just waiting for the conor match, so he can get paid and retire
Such a fun stylistic match up
That Joey Diaz clip was too fire 🔥
Tj's narration makes my food taste better
Right? 😆
Bro you’re not factoring in the damage he’s saving himself from by not having had 3 fights and he’ll probably make more money.
He won't get paid more. Chandler doesn't get PPV points
To be fair, the first announcement was delayed because the ufc couldnt agree with Conor on the contract, Ariel said the ufc wanted to add more fights on the deal (only 2 fights remaining) and Conor declined. To put pressure on the ufc Conor announced the fight
I believe that the ufc slides him money under the table bc Chandler does not complain
Did you get over the quality of the sleep mask?
You should change the title to how chandler wasted two years of his career
But if he did fight since his last appearance and potentially lost, then he fades into irrelevance and makes no money regardless. If he isn’t chasing a belt at this point and is in the later stage of his career then making a ton of money and having relevance is a great thing even if the fight didn’t happen until next year. Having his name attached to Conor’s has probably already made a big difference in the amount of people who know him without the fight even happening yet. I mean we’re all talking about him now just because he’s attached to Conor, if that wasn’t the case he wouldn’t be in the news cycle right now. Not to mention at the end of the rainbow no matter how long it may be he gets a big check for fighting Conor. If Conor never returns he still at the very least gets to keep the boost to his name and he’ll be high profile in his next matchup just from that
There was no reason to wait, he could’ve fought multiple times while he was still waiting for Connor but he decided not to. That’s on him
6:22 yooo my comment on that reel made it into a tj loves fights video. Mom, im famous.
Bro when Islam called Chandler “Hachiko” I lost it 😂
For those who don’t know, Hachiko is the name of that dog in Japan that waited at the train station for years waiting for his dead owner to come back..💀
Chandler is a top level athlete and extremely strong for his height and weight. He hasn’t been injured and chose to wait for the McNuggets money. He chose his path and unfortunately if he took 3 fights in between and lost all three but they were absolute wars and amazing to watch his legacy would’ve been far greater to look back on.
Chandler knows this fight could be his retirement fund.
I don't think Chandler beats a top 10 lightweight so waiting is all he can do. It isn't like Chandler is a contender anymore.
His only notable wins are over tony (not el cucui) and dan hooker, he wasnt even a top 10 fighter, i mean he got finished by every other fighter with better fighting iq
Honestly tough spot for Chandler, on one hand financially it’s pretty hard to pass up a Connor fight period, you’ll get paid good win lose or draw but, if he had kept himself busy it would’ve also been risky if he lost anymore his name value and merit wouldn’t be as big and Connor could just be like “nah you’re on a skid better names out there for me” which now reigns even more true with Max having all the star power in the world after his KO of Justin and probably wanting to get that L back from Connor.
Marquez knocked Pacquiao out and everyone that he was gonna be out for 2 years
Chandler did it to himself. Like yknow you’re getting up there in age and you think sitting out 2 yrs will get you another championship shot? Cmon maaaan
Chandler's fault ngl
Chandler vs Poirier happened in November 2022, not December
Chandler: I’ll wait for you forever
I understand Chandler’s mindset at first. He’s not good enough to be the champion, so he shouldn’t even attempt at that road, but he could make earn a big payday from his job with the most minimum effort. I mean, all it takes is one fight. But now… I have no idea how much Dana is paying him, but unless it’s millions, he’s making less money then if he would’ve got if he just stayed active. A few fights, and who knows, he could’ve still gotten the Connor fight later on, and make the most bag out of it. This is just sad at this point.
It's not just the potential millions. CTE and injury must play a factor too right? He's a family man and one last big pay check to beat someone who's arguably beatable makes sense
No Michael Chandler didnt "waste" shit, Beneil, Arman, Gamrot and Fiziev all are better than Chandler and he would've taken alot of damage fighting them. He was already 36 att, it made much more sense to fight Conor who he wouldve been a favourite against. Beat him and become a star.
Ofc yes if he would've known Conor is gonna pull this shit before hand then it's better to fight the young killers. But hes not a fortune teller. Conor definitely made more sense att both in money and win probability.
I don’t want to see these two old men fight lol, this was an OKAY fight 3 years ago, but now i literally do not give a single fk 💀
If Chandler took each fight like u hypothesized, he would probably got a broken rib, 2 concussions and be out of the UFC
Chandler was never getting back to the title or beating anyone in the top 5, let alone the top 10. Chandler knows his career is coming to an end and just wants to go out making as much money as possible. If he didn’t wait 2 years he would have more than likely lost again and lose any chance at fight Conor. Waiting for Conor is absolutely the best thing for Chandler
Hindsight 20/20
He could've been BMF champ and also fight for the belt. All his fights were guaranteed to be exciting.
Conor didn’t wasted chandler 2 years. Chandler is so desperate for the fight it’s pathetic. Not even Faber groveled for the Conor fight. He choose to wait. No one forced him. He’s a grown little man.
bluetooth directed at your brain while you sleep, lets see how that works out loool
It's not like they were dating, come on
McGregor wasted his most of his career since he's got rich and at most he's only got 5 fights left
5 fights is generous
He got 1 left
0 fights left
That's 5 including his Bellator rematch with khabib in 30 years
Wasted his career is Wild. Double champ, biggest ufc star ever. Multi millionaire , own company , everyone and their ancestors call him out to fight.
This video could be summed up in less than 30 seconds. Conor said they were gonna fight, they still haven’t. End of subject
No frank vs Davis vid :(
One thing you forgot about what the red panty night is that if Chandler wins his a superstar
This is the equivalent of Willy Coyote chasing roadrunner
Great video. Shame for Chandler, and Conor needs to just be realistic and call it a day. He’s done everything. What do you think the UFC should do with Khamzat?
chandler knows he’s going to get a huge bag from this and retire richer than anyone else that is still active. not really a waste. his prime was in bellator anyways
Chandler did this to himself. Dude is literally the only person on earth that gives a shit about this fight.
5:36 so basically UFC split with USADA for Conor
Only for Conor to still not fight lmao
What did you think mate
dumb premise for a video, chandler only has himself to blame for his inactivity.
The risk was probably worth it for Chandler. 2-4 million dollars for one fight. His last few fights he could easily get paid millions if he does well or beats Conor. The only reason Nate Diaz retired rich is because he beat Conor. And even dudes who get smoked by Conor are still better off. Like Chad Mendes.
Chandler for sure was getting paid by the UFC during his layoff.
It's way better to fight 1 washed drug user than 3 dangerous opponents. I honestly don't understand how you can compare it
Honestly, if I were Chandler I'd try to sue McGregor.
I think connors injuries have started to catch up to him and sonce he doesnt seemingly stay away from partying and drinking hes doesnt heal his body, hes nit conditionioned for fighting and hes probably not motivated so its not surprising hes not going to fight but theres no denying his comeup was spectacular to watch and unlike anything else just a shame the tailend of his career went so downhill.
You do as you're told 😂😂😂
Conor used to have the Midas touch. Now everything he touches turns into dookie.
It's been said Chandler is making 10x what he normally would to fight Conor. Meaning he'd have to fight 10x to make what hes gonna make to fight McGregor. I'd wait too
Im calling it now. Conors coming back in the sphere
Bro chandler waited for some drunkass coke addict not that the fight was fixed if it was signed then it would have changed from chandler wasting his prime years to conor wasting chandlers prime years.
5:35 There is no evidence that the Conor/UFC was trying to bypass the 6 month testing requirement aside from USADA (sort-of) claiming this, which the UFC and Conor denied. Intuitively, the idea that Connor was super committed to fighting in 2023 seems silly. He is clearly not in any rush to fight. If anything, the 6 month requirement is a convenient excuse.
and now chandler wants a BMF fight
lmao you ain't no bmf mikey sit down
No man who sits and waits obediently for another man to give him the red panty night is BMF worthy, lol
Chandler isn't gonna make more money fighting Conor. He's under contract and doesn't get PPV points. Mendes and Diaz got paid a lot because it was short notice and there weren't many options. Then when Diaz and Poirier beat Conor they had a lot more leverage and could renegotiate a new better contract with PPV points. Aldo got a paid a lot because he got PPV points as well. Cowboy and Alvarez didn't get paid more to fight Conor. Cowboy didn't have leverage and didn't get PPV points and Alvarez was a new champ and wasn't given a new contract so he didn't get PPV points either
