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.

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.

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

In theory, it's a simple and even obvious strategy, but Chandler made the serious mistake of not considering who he was negotiating with. For years, McGregor had been manipulating the news, announcing false retirements and creating opportunistic factoids to try to stay in the spotlight. Therefore, it would come as no surprise (as has indeed been confirmed) that Chandler was just another pawn in McGregor's well-worn game, especially since the UFC gives him the authority to do whatever he wants. Since the beginning of this story, many people have been talking about the considerable possibility that Conor would pull out of the fight if it were convenient.

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.

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.

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.

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.

People are too harsh on chandler, its a smart choice to wait for his future finances. Chandler's highest fight purse has been around $1m against Ferguson, there are few fights available to him that would offer that level of money and the ones that would risk him losing and decreasing his purse, getting injured. He would need four of these top fights (with win bonuses) to come get the same as one fight with conor.

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.

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

You're incorrect- only champions get PPV points, therefore the amount of buys on a conor fight is irrelevant when it comes to "red panty night", as the opponent going against Conor hasn't received PPV points since Khabib.

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.

Conor just said it was a broken toe and that chandler’s show money is x10 what he usually makes. So he would have to fight 10 times in 2 years to make just the show money he’s going to make fighting him. Another L video bro, delete this before it’s too late save yourself the embarrassment

I don’t really agree with what you’re saying here TJ, Chandler didn’t know Conor was gonna pull out so it sounds good in theory to fight someone else but then the fight may have never been there to begin with. Or Conor may have never been hurt under such different circumstances. It’s really easy to clown Chandler now but it’s still life changing money and he wasn’t making more elsewhere. Idk what you’re saying about Justin/Max being Chandler/Max instead. They needed a big fight like the BMF fight, Chandler and Max don’t bring the belt, Justin did he needed to be in that fight. Also with how it turned out I don’t want to even consider a different circumstance for that night than Justin/Max. Chandler could’ve lost the other fights you named and completely lost out on the McGregor fight.

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.

Yeah title of this vid is misleading Chandler is a grown ass man and chose to wait for solely the McGregor Fight. Also Conor is coming off an injury and takes time to rehab plus got unlucky with getting the pinky toe injury. It’s not Conor’s fault

Chandler already fought all the top dogs of the divison with big names who have established themselves... what could he have done ? let gamrot and the rest of new fighters make names off of his name? He's getting up there in age, his best move is to fight connor and wait for him... i think ppl are too invested with what chandler does and im 1000% sure they got much bigger problems in their own lives to take care of.
