Props to Michael for pointing out very important pieces of this story. Being able to poke fun of yourself and using this to still build a fan base.

Mike you are such an inspiration, I was 84 kg amd I am 5 feet five inches and I saw your workout videos in NF songs and man.. because of your videos I started going to gym and now I am healthy and 64 kg.

The weirdest thing was she ran headfirst into the fence. There was no end-plan for this run somehow

[@tywontaylor7787]

One of favorite my fighters , keep it up big bro ! 100k subs on the way real soon 💯💯💯

[@kingc8531]

Honestly the running away was probably the best option in this scenario. She got hit hard and it made her turn away, she was in no position to scramble for a takedown or do any offensive move, running away at least gives her space to possibly reset. But in her panicked/hurt state she ran into the cage and Dumont was right behind her ready to continue her barrage.

[@Matt_Wilson01]

Seen plenty of fighters run to create distance for a reset but Chelsea sprinted until the cage caught her, but like you say Michael we aren’t the ones in there so who are we to say too much, she is def handling it the right way by laughing at herself

[@Kingomegared]

She should run for president

[@haroldb.3092]

It's great that shes taking it this well and making fun of herself. Everyone loves a good sport. Would be great if she could find a way to monetize her becoming a meme too

[@wereone3480]

All great points Michael! A good reminder that all fighters, no matter what rankings or promotion are first and foremost human beings. You fighters exhibit an astronomical amount of courage and deserve, at worst, a modicum of respect for that reason alone. I can understand fans supporting their favorite fighters but to me, it’s heinous to see fans booing fighters who are laying it out on the line. Where is the empathy in these folks?!

[@andersericson4795]

Keep on running made me smile 😁

The 2nd time Olivera dropped Mike he got up and ran away. It's official. It's the Chandler Rush

Chandler should be in politics... he is intelligent, eloquent and informed. 😊 When you said "Connor" you should have seen me run back to the screen 😅😂😅. I want to insert a clip into that segment so bad.😅😊. You are a trojan Chandler. Both of you.

[@markdesmond3659]

The "flight" in her fight or flight instinct fully kicked in

[@BadselS]

One Chandler runs away, the other one stands his ground and bangs ready to die for the victory, they are not the same

[@guilerso7796]

With hands down, you forgot that detail.

[@kpark8607]

Should she get it? No. Will she, yes. Comes with the territory. Show business, which is what the fight business (d)evolves into at the highest levels, which is where you both currently reside. At the top. Champion or not Micheal, you’ve made it to where very few will or have ever made it. To the pinnacle. An absolute artist with a style the people want to see. Congratulations and thank you for your work

[@davidduanes9574]

I wish Michael acknowledged the video when they took his chair from under him 🤣

[@MMAEventsVlog]

lol, against Primus right? when his lower leg/foot was compromised...

[@zephirol4638]

I think it was she got hit with a combo she wasn't ready for and was hoping she could get a little distance and reset but her opponent, nor the cage allowed for it. Pretty much a fight/flight situation where the body acted on instinct without being fully competent of the surroundings. Overall I think it's fine to poke fun and do some jokes at current events. But unless she was cocky/arrogant I think it should just flow in the wind as one of the bloopers over her career, as all fighters have like Mike implied.

[@iamjp1]

1000% this is the correct take. fight or flight, she needed a second to get some space and decided to just book it. obviously its a funny thing to happen in a fight, she acknowledges it herself.

[@vincentdemers8795]

Wize words from the legendary beast Michael chandler!

[@KhaledUNITED]

I love u Mike Take care Bro ❤

[@devinmccloud]

When you are in trouble, it's a natural reaction to run away. Hence, the old saying " fight or flight!"

[@brianharris7795]

[@lisetteeliseparis7070]

Thank you for the breakdown! (And I'd run too, must admit).

[@licantrophe_cl]

6:33 and that sound! lol

[@johnnyrodriguez5938]

I tried to be a chandler hater, but the man is just too likable. Great insight, one of my fav mma channels

[@elcrucius]

Im all for poking a little fun but im glad mike brought up the point of not harshly judging someone unless you've been in their shoes. One of my biggest pet peeves is when my fellow mma fans (most of whom have never had to fight for their lives) troll a fighter endlessly for things like making an occasional mistake inside the octagon, being a grappler instead of a brawler or even just being a woman competing in mma. I can guarantee most of the potbellied keyboard warriors trolling her wouldn't survive 15 minutes in the cage with chelsea.

[@khimaros]

So true, it’s the early tap = fixed fight folks that wind me up! They tapped early, really? Let’s get you in there, beaten up then strangled and we’ll see how long it takes you to tap!

[@dickdeoreo]

Well to be fair, for half the population it would be a criminal charge.

[@SpiceBoy7UK23]

I’m sorry about your sister Michael. 😢

[@HeliodromusScorpio]

Except DC was not fleeing for his life he tried to recover yes, but did not turn his back and just flee like her

[@5roundwar]

dc got head kicked by JON JONES ON PEDS and kicked and spun in circles tried to back up recover and fell over, woman ran straight into the cage!

[@khancrow7015]

​@ufcwow DC ran for his life and fell when a chicken leg stunned him lmao

[@spencermackay9020]

Trust Mike to keep it real and honest.

[@itswrongtokillanimalsifyou2837]

Only the small-minded make a deal out of someone running for a second or two in a fight. Sometimes it's the most effective option to buy the time you need to regroup and not lose your fight. Good on Michael for setting the record straight about why this might happen.

[@johnerwin8755]

She tried to get away so bad she tried to run through the cage Lolol did y’all see her head bounce off the cage 😂😂😂

[@Chris4813]

My uneducated guess is when fighters get rocked, I've seen their opponent walk them down, and I think she was just trying to create some space for time to recover.

[@erickpoint0]

Last line was hilarious 😂😂

[@Asere_1]

I'm not here to make fun of her, minutes later: Chelsey keep on running 😅😅😅😅😅

[@guesshoo703]

[@mathmatics8034]

This was funny. I personally wld have ran out the octogon, down the steps, and out the arena….. cyas. All the best

[@user-kh2yl6nn3l]

She looked to me like she didn't belong in there in the first place . Acted like how any one of us that don't belong in the octagon, running mouths, to someone that does . And then, stepping into the fray and waking up to reality . At that split second when she got nailed, she got the fight or flight and made the decision ... RUN LIKE HELL . lol Love your fights Michael, they're ALL bad ass fights . :)

[@LosPhoenix]

Haha “Chelsea keep on running”

[@gtrriffs]

A true runner-up situation 👏

[@timephire]

She had to get up outta there FOR REAL! 😆🤣

[@TheTykus]

I think it’s funny after the fact. But in the moment I thought it was part of a plan. To either get against cage and lean it out, or maybe try some surprise spinning elbow or something. Desperate but understandable if you get rocked.

[@johndoejoeblowshmoe8676]

So humble says out there fighting someone their same size...even though he's even shorter than a real life leprechaun in connor mcgreggor. So humble so respectful. How and why does this guy even fight...must just be for the sweet science and the warrior spirit. And a place in the hof. Legacy. Just doesnt wanna end up like mighty mouse or colby covington

Subbed purely on your comments on the armchair quarterbacks. MMA is filled to the gills with people who habe never thrown a punch before or competed at a national level.

[@ComeStayNZ]

I’ll be straight up, I’ve always thought if I was rocked in the octagon I’d run away as well. I been wondering why no one else done this!

[@user-mi7ez5zg6y]

I think Chandler ran from Charles a little if i remember correctly

[@huichitonft]

real mike

[@publicenemy1238]

6:22 you know what Chandler that's actually true... These types of criticisms really does get your name out there. The public perception of you might not be as clean as someone would like but as long as you're true to yourself and be the best that you can. It will inadvertently prove everyone wrong and you'll just gain more fans because of it... it's negative perception now for it to be positive later.

[@redneckrambo9626]

That s**t was hilarious 😂

[@plingfan5408]

He knows his ass was ready to roast her when he first started. His niceness got the better of him.

[@alecmachovoe5142]

Yes. And I mean, DC did run.. but the way she full on sprinted away, I have quite seen like that. She went straight into the cage too. Like she didn't even know it was there. Lol. I'd say probably got rocked and adrenaline just kicked in and made her get out of there. Lol

[@kurtfranklin2680]

She just prefers hiit to steady stare cardio. Much more efficient than Alexander Gustafson who jogs away from his opponents all fight.

[@stockchartart1147]

Your cold Mike. 😂

[@ralphdejesus9732]

The thing Chelsea should take away from all that is: you don't give your opponent the finger because they will come at you with fists ablazing.

[@AnshulJublisGasStation]

She was probably thinking that she would have the best chance at survival if she got to the fence, and that was the closest part of the fence at that point... but it did look pretty bad.

[@YourGFsFavoriteBF]

When I read that she ran, I thought something akin to Carlos Condit/Nick Diaz, but no she straight up turned her back and ran a straight line from one cage side to the other. I get it, you get hit and your body reacts. But that looked f’n ridiculous.

[@kallyfromcali4062]

But chelsea finished the fight and pressured N pushed pace and landed some hard shots Michael chandler. Norma took chandler down in rounds 2 and 3 because of the constant pressure and the shots landing. Why is no one at the professional level speaking on this, is crazy to me.

2:40 I said this the other day about Izzy, Gervonte Davis, Jon Jones etc If you wanna be caught on camera acting a certain way that doesn't make you look good. It's your career you're tarnishing. Later down the road when you get in trouble with the law, they might bring it up and it will make you look worse. In this case, talking big shiii and then not showing it in the ring, isn't gonna age well.
