Depending on how entertaining TUF is, the fact its on ESPN, I think it will hit around 1.6m PPVs. The undercard won't be too strong as most of the budget will go to Conor. Yes he's still that guy. You'll see more celebs at this event than ever before because he isn't just an MMA fighter. He's now a bonfide celebrity and its an occasion when he fights. Between 1.4 and 1.6m. Possibly his last fight so it will definitely have eyeballs on it. And I do think it will end in the 1st round. 😂

Kinda interesting they didn’t pick Poirier. That would make more sense that the winner gets title shot. Unless Dustin is already getting it after Volkanovski. 🤷🏻‍♂️

0:04 what's that sound?

[@AlexanderSchorer-ku4ty]

I'm 6-0 in kickboxing and Muay Thai 4-0 karate competition 10-0 I'm about a purple belt level BJJ and my MMA record is 4-2 it's guys like u that made me I'd love to spar you outta respect and level wise

[@dwightk.schrute5559]

Mans only gave us fight of the year candidates since he’s been in the UFC. Bag is well deserved

[@rendor21]

Chandler has improved allot since he hooked up with Henry. He no longer does that crazy hop to reset but he still has major holes in his stand up. He's very easy to hit and for 1-2 rounds Conor hits like a truck and he's technically very sound. I see this going don't just like Conor vs Alvarez. Plus it's not a 5 round title fight so Conor can unload on the guy when he gets him hurt.

This is why I respect and admire Yuri P.........He is a Non STAR EGO type thing........he fights and seems to hold mass TRUTH for humility and task at hand, whether it's healing or fighting......and all other things his life entails........ Who knows......LETS GO.

[@kathleenfinnerty226]

Definitely excited for this, Chandler deserves this all his fights have been epic since he came into ufc.

[@stephenbunting9020]

Ive known Chandler is a great fighter, but he seems a great dude also. Pleased he gets to shine in such a massive fight.

[@jacklitz6024]

Sean has such a great personality!

[@haze42082]

Im so pumped for this match up. It's going to be so exciting and hardcore its on

[@TTT-du6oj]

Gotta like Chandler,he speaks very well and I believe he is genuinely a good guy,Man him and Alvarez sure had some wars in Bellator ! I believe he would be a great fight commentator,live or otherwise if he chooses down the road ! TUF should be interesting !

[@AlexanderSchorer-ku4ty]

Both they're cardio is similar they both swing for The knockout but Chandler got better wrestling good fight to watch also on the fight card Dustin versus the new champion female champions pick the best fight out of them two or three title fights and McGregor versus Chandler

[@eSPARX1]

Guarantee some wwe style storylines and beefs will occur in the tuf season 😂 but I'm all for them boosting they're ppv numbers, definitely won't be a snooze fest when they enter the octagon.

[@donovandick7163]

Anybody else catch that "Strategery" drop? Chandler W. Bushin' it up on Celebrety Jepoarady.

Chandler is one of the most intelligent fighters the UFC have ever had. He is the definition of a 'Company man' so it ws an easy choice for Dana. I still have my doubts whether the fight will happen, but TUF should be entertaining AF.

[@healthwithmarcus]

Conor: "He said he won't shoot until we have a little fun. I ain't coming for no foohn. I'm coming to bring the pain to ya little boy."

[@davidcrain453]

Hey man as much as I wanted to see Tony vs Connor I gotta give it to Chandler, he's a real class act he will probably be a better coach for those boys......

[@MartinAston00]

@ 12:34 💯 not a huge Chandler fan, but he did it.. even with missing the Title… He’s put himself in a position guys wish for! What Dana is always saying, gotta sell yourselves! guys who put asses in seats, people wanna watch they make the most this sport!

[@mitchy98]

Now I have find out where I can watch TUF

[@deJuanX]

When you fight like Chandler fights and have a magnetic personality, you can survive the routine woes of huge losses. Dude is a likable, exciting WARRIOR💯

[@mcmays22]

Love this dude. His nose still looks a lil different from that last fight

[@skoal91]

With Ultimate fighter buildup and the way both promote fights in media I think 1.8 easily
