Bro is 100% a dirty ass fighter. When you got 3 top ranking vets of the lightweight division all saying he’s a cheater….man I don’t think it’s a matter of opinion at that point. It’s past the point of being an opinion and becomes a fact. Gaethje, poirier, and now Charles all have complaints of this dude being a blatant cheater.
Chandler doesnt deserve a massive name fight like Holloway, Gaethje now with the amount of losses he's had. Someone like Gamrot, BSD, Dariush or Moicano would make sense.
Make more sense for who? For ufc it makes more sense for him to fight a big name because he’s a big name and they’ve built his name with multiple high profile fights and fight or the night performance. Moicano is the only name you listed that would even make a little sense and it would only make sense for helping to build his name not chandlers.
Holloway has 26 Wins 8 losses / Chandler has 23Wins 9 Losses . They're both losers . Didn't Holloway just get knocked out by a 5' 5" 145 lbs featherweight ?
@@Nolbert24 agreed i think he sucks as well. Just a lil powerful roid beast midget wrestler type guy but as far as actual fighting skills go hes def nowhere near top 5 LW material and his fight IQ is non-existant
TF does Bellator have to do with this? In that case DDP came from efc in Africa, so he is an EFC fighter, Petr Yan is an ACA fighter, Machachev is an ACA fighter, Gamrot is a KSW fighter, Jiri is a Rizin fighter, I could go on.
@@crazypato3752 did you not listen to this interview? He clearly did a lot of dirty moves and stated the commentary team doesn’t know what they’re talking about . This dude had his fingers in Poriers mouth grabbed the fence in multiple fights and struck the back of the head multiple times.
Toxic positivity is dysfunctional emotional management without the full acknowledgment of negative emotions, particularly anger and sadness. Toxic positivity is a "pressure to stay upbeat no matter how dire one's circumstance is", which may prevent emotional coping by feeling otherwise natural emotions. Toxic positivity happens when people believe that negative thoughts about anything should be avoided. Even in response to events which normally would evoke sadness, such as loss or hardships, positivity is encouraged as a means to cope, but tends to overlook and dismiss true expression.
not that i think chandler could ever change his "toxic positive" mindset, he is up there in age and i think it used to always work for him, but i think it would be good for him to look at your post, eventually
Exactly. Every fighter, including Chandler, should be aware of Prichard's case. 1 or 2 punches would have been forgivable, but the number of shots he landed, he absolutely had time to realise what he was doing. I'm sure he knows the damage that can cause, and he did it anyway out of desperation to win. Unacceptable.
It’s not fake. He’s been like this the whole time. If he was winning you’d be calling him a genius. He still wants to fight. He’s got a winning mentality. Just doesn’t get the results. Big heart. Unlike the haters that say he’s no good. You probably haven’t been punched in your life. If you have. Not hard enough
Nobody watching that fight misinterpreted what shots to the back of the head or cage grabbing is 😂 he 100% did both. He hooked the top of the cage on the very first take down causing Oliveira to land in a awkward position on top of him. Then he continued to reach above his head and grab the cage while Oliveira was in his guard. And 80% of his shots in the 5th round were straight to the back of the head. Chandler gets dirty when he's desperate and that's just a fact now.
He wants a bag full of cash and retire at this point. He has no aspirations to win a title in UFC. He has realised just how tough the top UFC lightweights are.
Bro this guy said I am here for a short time and sat on the sidelines waiting for a millionaire 50 times his Worth to fight. That short is even shorter now. Can we get a double retirement fight between Tony and Chandler
Can someone please tag chandler to read theses comments here? This guy needs help. He is effing dishonest. The fact that you can’t even admit a single wrongdoing is beyond me.
I think this generational yap from Chandler has allowed me to be sympathetic to his delusion. He is a victim of his low IQ. He is a victim of the Conor bait and switch. He is a victim of the Dana and Hunter Campbell run around. He’s not been well emotionally and mentally and I hope he finds peace.
Thanks for defining the back of the head rule with the red line thing, Mike. By the way, you were hitting that red line. And his head wasn't moving. Nice one.
Chandler didn't look as fit or as sharp as he did in his previous fights. When you look at the trouble he caused Oliveria in Round 5, this fight was a big career opportunity and he blew it.
If all chandler did was fence grab then no one would even mention it. The problem is he fish hooks, intentionally blows blood onto the face of opponents, and then hits people in the back of the head. So naturally fans are pissed and some may mention the fence grabbing as yet another transgression.
he had no chance at all but put a nice show thing together in the last round. That´s it. From a competitive standpoint he was beaten as clearly as a five round decision could be
Good lord. Chandler is a household name amongst MMA fans for all the wrong reasons. And no matter how much you want some of the things people are saying about him, to sink in, it just never will sink in. He may benefit from changing gears and stop pretending to be the squeaky clean, super likable, consummate professional. There is something being lost in translation or just missing altogether. And what is missing is true sincerity. An authenticity. His persona comes off like a Colby Covington schtick . Where they must obviously be playing a character and have rehearsed lines and scenarios so it can come across as second nature. And just like Colby's act, its cringe, predictable, played out and no one is buying it.
I know it has to be impossible to keep your ego out of it, but fighters have to realize those guys on commentary are just trying to fill a void with what they are saying. I highly doubt there is any hate coming from Joe, DC, or Jon.
Solid interview with Michael Chandler, Ariel! Always enjoy your conversations together , like good buddies hanging out, real chill vibe between you two! 😊
In fairness, the ref was responsible for deciding whether those shots to the back of the head were legal or not. As long as the ref doesn't intervene and call for a foul, it's hard to expect a guy to know exactly which spots are appropriate to strike in the heat of the moment.
We can say all we want to say in the comments section but all his last three opponents (who have faced him in the cage and are warriors not people sitting behind their desks and phones like us) have called him a dirty fighter. Is he an entertaining fighter? Hell yeah Is he a dirty fighter? Absolute "Hell yeah" to that as well.
You don't get to say that you are not making excuses while making excuses. Take the loss, this is real fighting and you will get injured if you are hit, and Michael was hit a lot!
Thought Mike should have went all out in the Charles fight that’s who he is. He’s not gonna win a technical fight vs Charles. He went all out 5th round and almost won. His corner really did him no favors
27:00 he still wants the Conor fight this guy is a clown, he claims he’s a man of morals but wants to do business with a guy that has been deemed liable for assaulting a woman lmao
How can you say youd beat someone 9/10 times when youve lost to them twice lmao
Maybe 8/10? 🤔
Maybe 18/20 😂😂😂
Fr the math aint mathing
Delusional.
twice out of 2 times

You’re not wrong but he’s still a popular fight and the ufc is paying him a lot of money, he’ll likely get Connor or a big name still

Imagine if this dude listened to himself

No doubt he does and probably gets a boner over how awesome he is
Dude is trying to defend being the dirtiest fighter in the game 😂
Im not gona make excuses......but i will😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Chandler, you’ve lost about 2 years waiting for Conor and now want to wait a third year? Dana said he ain’t fighting till end of 25

Michael '9 out of 10' Chandler

Tony Ferguson would beat Michael Chandler 9 times out of 10
Michael " I lost but they were fight of the night fights" Chandler 😂😂
Used to like him, but after his dirty antics in the Oliveira fight, I now root against him.
Bro needs to include groin strikes in his game 🔥
Underrated comment 😂
Idk who’s more delusional… Chandler for thinking he’s still getting a fight with Conor or Conor fans who thinks he’s an innocent man. 😂 😂 😂
😂😂 it's past embarrassing at this point.
What happens if both these things happen. Does that make you the most delusional person?
People who thought Mike Tyson would knock out Jake Paul 😂
@TonyNkurunziza-s3x: Jesse on Fire picked Tyson over Paul and funny enough he also thinks McGRAPER is innocent 😂
Conor is innocent and Chandler will fight Conor ya littl Fewlll😂😂😂

Chandler is one of those low-key dirty guys. Such a greasy guy, but has a clean image somehow lol.
Low-key clean but one look guy is a walking biochemical waste deposit 💉 ☢️💥🧪🧫⚗️💊
TBH, he should be fighting an up and comer. His signature wins are Dan Hooker who was on a skid, and Ferguson who was on a legendary skid.
Chandler thinks he didnt cheat😂😂😂
Mcgregor could be in a pine box and chandler would be saying “I still think Conor can make this fight”
" I believe I beat Charles 9 times out of 10, obviously I've lost to him twice now" . What a quote
This guy takes no accountability for his actions.
says he wont make excuses....
proceeds to make several excuses
I've liked Chandler less and less as time goes on. Yuck
This guy is on a fast track to being the most unlikable fighter in the UFC
Chandler has to believe because there’s nowhere else upwards for him to go except Conor or it’s down from here
I used to be a fan until those blatant head strikes
Same. No honor in that. Just a dirty fighter
Could someone tell him that Coco is not gonna fight anymore! That was just the beginning of cases 💯
Mike Chandler is Mike Chandlers biggest and only fan. Even his wife won't have kids w him.
It’s almost crazier that he denies grabbing the fence 😮
Not sure anyone really cares about either one of these guys fighting each other ever
Imagine he somehow gets the Conor fight, and then gets KOed under 30 seconds.
Fought dirty vs Dustin Poirier and now Charles. He's a joke.
“I don’t want to use excuses”
But spend the whole 30min interview speaking about your knee lol.
Chandler is a true warrior and a man of honor, By far, one of the most entertaining fighters.
Chandler is 0-2 against olivera even while he cheated his balls off. How tf does that equate to beating him 9 times out of 10. The math isnt mathing.

Mensa application DENIED 😛
I'm glad he mentioned the slips and off balance moments because I was noticing that shit so much in that fight. He was never stable.
Journeyman Mike is my favorite dirty fighter in the UFC.
Cut this guy how could you misinterpret a cage grab when his grubby fingers where literally holding on the fence for dear life
It would help to adopt the third African kid now that you've messed it up again Chandler😂
"Not gonna make excuse" *then went for 10 min talking about his foot
Wow just when u think chandler get any worse

@Sc-Runner I agree. I'm just stating something people don't seem to be aware of
Chandler spit blood and blew his bloody nose in Poirier’s face, fish hooked his gloves, and cage grabbed to get his revenge on Poirier.
