[@tonyhoward9268]

Much respect to you Eddie, I have thoroughly enjoyed watching your fights throughout your career and especially hearing your wife cheer you on. No matter how far away she was, how big of an arena or even how many people were cheering and how loud it was, you could always hear her screaming your name! EVERY FIGHT! However, Michael Chandler fought Dustin Poirier, Tony Furgueson, Justin Gaethje and Charles Oliveira in his last 4 fights. I thinks it’s pretty obvious why that fight never happened and it had nothing to do with Michael not liking to wrestle and not because he was scared. First, the UFC would have never made that fight to begin with and honestly that fight would have been a step backwards for Michael Chandler because had he lost I’m pretty sure it would have been an upset while a win would have done nothing for his career at that point. That’s why the fight was never made.

Wish someone would make a sport with Bare Knuckle rules (plus elbows, knees and kicks) and just have the fighters wear hand wraps + 4oz (or 2oz gloves).

Conner can no longer take solid punches well. My guess is that his sparring partners are instructed not to hit him in the face.

For this reason, anyone who can rock him with a few solid punches to the face in row has a good chance of winning in my opinion.

[@jamesnelson8469]

“Can no longer take solid punches”? Lol what. Based on what? Dudes only been fully dropped once his entire career even including a debut boxing match against mayweather. Took many punches for him to go down against Dustin before he dipped his forehead head into an uppercut. After that he got chin checked in limbo, halfway sitting up by a guy standing above him punching down. No reason to say he can’t take a punch.

Nothing good comes from a 3rd fight between the two for anyone but Eddie. The fight wouldn't be anywhere near as big as he thinks either. Chandler v Olivera/Gaethje/Porier 2 would double it.
