Colby: 'Michael Chandler is delusional, he still thinks he is fighting McGregor!'
Colby wouldn’t even fight Chandler
😂😂😂
@@_munkykok_ Michael Chandler is one of those rare human beings that is really dumb as he looks. He's definitely a good husband and father but as an MMA fighter and how he has been going about it in the UFC shows he is a charity at best
Colby the biggest clown in the sport. Who cares what that foo says
@@ricktheruler1665Easy Money for Colby
« I’m not here for a good time, I’m here for a long time » - Michael Chandler
I am not here to win rather to entertain😂
'I'm here to adopt children...
Black children, specifically.
So actually, I'm not here for the adoptions of children, I'm here to get me some Blacks.'
-Chandler
HILARIOUS for him to say “he’s not really been thinking about it, until everyone else keeps bringing it up” lmao! Whatever you say buddy
Michael “You’ll do what you’re told” Chandler
why didn’t chandler step in for lopes
He gonna get paid and not get hit prob
Their fight was at middleweight 185 lbs. The ufc would never allow it
@@Keezybeats yeah and he would have been too heavy with his walking weight right now
@@KeezybeatsIt was 170 casual
This is a very great question
Nobody talking about how much chandler has been rocked in his previous fights. The long layoff has been good for his brain
He's not in this business for a brain-time, he's in for the red-panties-night-time. ☝🧐
Brain 🧠 Recovery for this low iq fighter always lose the winning matches
haha yeah sure buddy
bro coping so hard he might adopt a white kid
😂😂😂
Omg
His eyes don’t lie. Poor Mike lol
Lmao😂😂😂
😂
Michael "Hachiko" Chandler
that was funny when i found out..
What a sad movie😢
😂😂😂
???
What an original joke!
Bro keep waiting for his red panty night 😂😂😂
his wife has not changed the panty since the announcement.
Since the fight canceled rumor has it he’s putting on his wife’s red Lacey thong and crying himself to sleep now
@@desaturated6049 😱
Who would not
Chandler is a good guy and he brings good blody fights, so I don't understand the hate🤡🤡🤡
No Mike… I’m not waiting for the fight. If Conor fights great, if he doesn’t no big deal. The wheel keeps turning.
After 3 or 4 years, yes sadly
It took Chandler 2 years of begging through email for a date with his wife after constantly being turned down, this is a similar story.
"So you're telling me there's a chance...??"
It was probably worth it. You seen his wife?
@@jaysnowden2 We're all seeing her, off and on, obviously.
Why did you think we're tracking Chandler?
for real? i need da sauce
No way lol
Not this guy again 😂
Bro say less funny thing Is we ain't talking about chandler it's the world's worst presenter Brett Okamoto
Y’all know that red dead redemption 2 mission with Lenny where he gets drunk and that dude takes his beer and drunk ass Arthur said “not you again” 😂 same vibe
You mean the guy who lays his head down without regrets because he's inspired millions?
How many have you inspired?
So tired of this guy singing the same song
Yeah, Chandler sucks
Chandler how do you feel about Dan Ige coming in and stealing your show?
Feels great. I will climb the mountain. Push that rock around. Stay committed. 💯. lol
Stealing your show?? Not even close lol
Who is Dan Ige ?
*wife
BRUH, YOU TEARY EYED NOW.
I don't see this fight happening. Connor wants a huge fight with a pushover. Chandler isn't that
With respect, he needs to let that go. Bobby Jalin Turner, Grant Dawson, Dariush etc choose from the Buffett it’s been 2.5 years, he’s 38, come on Mike
if those are the options, he might as well wait for Conor.. none of those are big fights 😂 good fights but not big fights
@@DynastyIconLol right, as fans those are good fights but business wise those don’t do much for Chandler. If Conor’s a 50/50 to comeback it’s worth waiting until its final that it’s not happening and at this point he’ll know soon, he’s already been in for so long he might as well go a little more and maybe it does happen and it paid off.
Imagine Chandler vs Dawson lol even if Chandler moves on and ask the UFC for Dawson I don't see the UFC giving Dawson such a big fight as Chandler
It's more than the bruised pinkie toe. He's 100% back on the ale and the ❄
Yeah I notice Dana didn't say 'when Conor's healed' at the post fight presser instead he said 'when Conor's ready and all that stuff', maybe I'm reading into it too much though, maybe Chael has actually gotten in my head lol
Conor living rent free in this bozos head
I would be thinking about the guy I'm going to fight with too
Cocaine living rent free in Conors blood 😅😅😅
drugs are illegal btw
Conor McGregor live rent free in Michael Chandler's head
The man is too self aware to get any negativity out of. His character is fantastic. I don’t see why so many ppl like to make fun of him. He’s going to get a knock out on the mystic mac Conor McGregor and people will be looking back at this entire thing in a much different way I think. I just hope Conor can actually come through at this point lol
if they fight he's not beating Conor bruh.. he's gonna get caught with something and Conor will put him out, and ppl are making fun of him cuz he's almost 40 and he wasted precious years of his career waiting for Conor when he could've possibly challenged for the title again if he stayed active.. he has no say in any of this
"you'll do what you're told" - Conor McGregor
Knocking out conner who's last wins are Donald cerrone and nate diaz many years ago wouldn't really impress me very much.
Because he is the fakest dude out there. His charcter is a self help book talking out loud. And he has wasted 2 years of his career at 38 waiting to fight a dude who split his leg in half.
Because UFC fans are some of the most braindead people you can encounter.
Eventually Chandler in UFC for long and bad time
This fckn guy is 1-3 in his last 4 fights.
Mcgregor is also 1-3 in his last 4. Perfect match up
@@AlphaDoG-43lol.
Conor: "We're not here to take part...."
😅
@@arpudli8962 Glad someone got it! lol
lol :-)
Chandler: "I'm here to be taken over"
Chandler ain’t that bad man. Talks like a fake politician sometimes but I like how he’s handling this at this point
2 years bruh fight someone else !!! Your wasting good years of fighting!!!
he’s like 2 in 5 in the ufc and his only wins: dan hooker and corpse of tony ferguson… he saved himself 3 losses
Espn with the 720p mids
Mid blunts go hard.
I clicked on this, read 5 comments, got sick of it. This man makes his own choices, if he waits he waits, but he needs to remember this is playing with his head, shaking his confidence.
That’s the mma community for ya. Super toxic and annoying
Dudes going down with the Lamborghini ship.
Could def see Mike being good at media in the future
You gotta feel for Michael Chandler man, UFC 303 was supposed to be his big night against Conor McGregor 😔
Chandler is a great dude and i hope he gets the fight with Connor bc he more than deserves it!
Bret asking the same questions in ten different ways, in every interview
So they didn't even offer him a substitute opponent? 🤦♀
They knew he’s not going to sell as many ppv without conors
Dana said not to wait if he were Chandler. I would listen and fight someone else.
You can’t tell him that after he already signed a contract and showed up to fight, they owe him his show money for the fight at minimum if he has to cut his losses and move on.
Massive respect to chandler for the way he is handling this
Chandler got that “I’m getting back with my ex” energy
😂😂😂
Didnt he say if your looking for me, ill be in Tennessee 😂. I guess no one went there lol
Islam said
And my condolences to Michael ‘Hachiko’ Chandler 😀
Probably had to rethink going into a fight with an injury after how it turned out for him last time
Wie kann man so lange auf ein Kampf warten
You're not fighting anyone with a Lamborghini boat. Seriously man think about it.
Mike “I want to be a blueprint” Chandler 🤣
Suicide watch. No joke...we need to protect thus guy.
I honestly feel like Conor's messing with his head
Chandler is messing with his own head at this point. 😂
i wish Conor doesn't fight him just to see how he reacts lol
@@jctorres7684 no red panties no parties
@@Vergil_2000 right 😂
He’ll do as he’s told
No way, he’s choking up in this interview lol
He wanted the fight man😢 😂😂
Good boy Hachiko. Give him a treat
Connors doing that proper 12 step program
Two types of fighters in this world: those who accept a bout on 4-hours notice and those who choose to sit on the sidelines for 2 years.
the guy sitting on the sidelines is gonna get retirement money after the fight that's why little bruh.
I think conor actually made chandler more famous just by not fighting him than actually fighting him due to the exposure he has now.
Finally some neutral and confident energy from the boiii
Respect Chandler he’s a true professional with honorable character.
Chandler tried to adopt Okamoto once the interview was over.
SMH Chandler could've headlined 3 ufc events during this time
They are going to cue this fight up for the Sphere.
People should sometimes imagine if they were in his shoes. A few years ago he wasn't even in the UFC and nobody would ever imagine he would fight McGregor. You can't blame the man for making sure he dosnt miss out on this fight because it puts a massive stamp on his career win or lose. It isn't about money it's about fighting and the fact one day he was watching Conor with two belts and probably dreaming he could fight him and never thought it would be possible. I don't even care for chandler but I understand life and people
empathy is going extinct.
It's about money 💰
You don’t understand life because if you did you know it’s absolutely about the money
@@geno1525 obviously money plays a part I'm not stupid. However my point is that it's more than just money and it's completely understandable why chandler is choosing to wait and not risk losing the fight
@@Smiple money not only plays a part, it plays the biggest part bro.
Chandler in fact did what he was told.
His message to Connor, " You are the prettiest girl in 11th grade and I really, really would love to go to prom with you. Please say yes"
It’s embarrassing that hunter/Dana never told him it’s an injury after the press conference
Chandler the police are looking for you for a wellfare check.
Michael “I have patience that everything will work out” Chandler
Bro.. I…and millions was so fired up when Chandler entered the UFC with his 🔥 exciting fights. The dude was entertaining but now he is becoming boring and the fans are turning on him more and more every day.. If he kept fighting he would have made a boat load of money and who knows maybe even could’ve won the belt! This waiting for Conor BS is getting old bro.. SO OLD!!! Get back to scrapping and win your fans back! The clock is ticking…..
Card is made up of replacements for replacements.
High on priority list? I really don’t think it is.
Chandler is comfortable not fighting and just being talked about just the same as Conor. Forget about both of them.
I still don't understand how Chandler thinks, even in his dream, that Conor would fight him. Why would Conor fight him? Chandler is treating Conor as a cash cow, waiting for him for two years just for the money. Why would Conor give him that? What benefits does Conor have? Conor can easily fight Max for the BMF title, or even after Islam vs. Arman, Conor can fight Islam for the title. Just imagine Conor vs. Islam in Abu Dhabi-that would be crazy. Why would Conor fight Chandler? There isn't a single reason. Chandler doesn't respect the sport; he could easily fight others in between and then fight Conor. This guy went to fight Oliveira with a two-month fight camp, and for Conor, he has been doing camp since January, for six months. How desperate he is for money. I hope Conor never fights this guy.
Chandler is the crazy ex girlfriend
The people will be disappointed if Chandler doesn't try to enter the octagon during the main event. Just needs to push through the security and all that...
This guy is borderline creepy at this point. His obsession with one guy for years now isnt healthy. Move on already mate you’re almost 40.
“ I haven’t been to work In years. Miss you Connor. See you at the top everyone”
BRO PEOPLE INTERVIEW THIS GUY LIKE HE'S GOING THROUGH A TRAGEDY OR SOMETHING.
Bro literally no one has waited for this fight except for Michael. No one particularly wants to see this fight. I bet McGregor Diaz 3 would do more numbers. Everyones tuning in just because of Conor, who has a slim chance of ever fighting again.
Imagine Mcnuggets retires and so does Chandler, without the fight ever happening 🙃
Chandler doing as he’s told
This fight has the Tony vs Khabib curse.
Michael “ I haven’t really thought about it” Chandler.
Chandler job changed , from fighting to doing interviews and go home.
At this point bro is going to sleep cuddling with a framed picture of Conor 💀
Nobody talking about the UFC hiding all the Conor fights when the press conference got cancelled? That’s not what they usually do when a fighter is injured. Something fishy going on.
Hiding all the Conor fights? What do you mean?
@@YoursTruly78887 they made all his previous fights private so they couldn’t be found
Thank you for coming to my funeral. That´s humor.
Conor really gaslit this guy and stole years of his career at this point by keeping him waiting for nothing. Conrat can’t get off the Bolivian marching powder long enough to pass a drug test and fight, but Chandler should’ve known this and moved on with life.
I understand why people are pissed that Chandler is holding off for the Conor fight, but he’ll be making more money in one fight than he would have in a handful of fights. I’m hoping that he ends up getting his “red panty night.” Mike actually seems like a good guy, and it would be great to see McNuggets get smoked again
Seriously.. who care about Conor anymore. Dude is washed up, taking steroids, alcohol, drugs, going into clubs letting average random womans taking advantage of him.. seriously, who care about this guy anymore. He isn't special at all.
Glad to see he is alive
A 100 percent Conor will not beat Chandler and Conor knows it another loss will be 3 straight for him.
...I am so done with Chandler and Conor. Just retire and fade away If you are not serious about fighting the best.
Your wasting your time! Conor has no intention of fighting you or anyone else. He’s playing you and everyone else. Move on!
McGreggor is long done. Fanboys stop hoping that he would be back. He got what he wanted and more. Doesn’t make sense for him to come back
He is a good fighter but not the elite one. He can never be champ in the division, so it's better for him to wait for conor and get that red panty night. That's the fight he can win coz conor has long passed his prime
Agree. He's taken a lot of damage since coming to the UFC so this time off is good for him. He is aging, true, but he's not going to fight for the belt anyway so this is the best option.
Who cares. He lost so much money waiting, lol.
What happen to not here for a long time here for a fun time
Chandler "Conors went into fights before injured". Yeah, 8 years and $500,000,000 ago
This is nothing like attending your own funeral
We got the better fight
in hindsight.. would've rather seen Conor vs Chandler.. it would've been more competitive , 303 was a strange one
His wife is a doctor. Im sure he'll be fine.
She cucked him out of having his own biological kids, not sure she has his best interest at heart
Chandler for sure is constantly thinking about this fight. He isnt foolin me... Saying fans keep reminding him. Conor is getting drunk and High atm on his Lamborghini Boat
Just do what you’re told and keep waiting
People are so stupid for telling him to fight a different opponent. He waited 2 years he can wait 1-3 months longer lol
Sunk cost fallacy
By the time Chandler gets red panty night it's gonna turn into a granny panty 😂
Conor should be fined whatever chandlers purse was gonna be and the money given to chandler he paid for camp flights to and from home. Was led on for over 2 years.
humans worry about things, we shouldn’t worry about all the time
