[@MagnoliaDigital1]

Regardless of anything, Chandler comes in to scrap. One of the most exciting fighters to date. Fought nothing but top-tier guys and scrapped all of them.

[@johnbrownell1]

He did come very close to knocking out Oliveira but tbh he is so trash hes gonna slam himself into a deeper triangle again lol

[@gregcoudon2427]

Incredibly foolish question...but I did enjoy your interview

[@japanunfound]

No. 2

[@varen9112]

Makhachev jumped from Bobby Green to a title fight cause the rest of you chickens were hiding out

[@mas72450]

"Biggest hater" bro he called you out on live TV and you decided to "put on your analyst cap." You knew he was a fight you'd best avoid from day 1, same as all the other ranked contenders when he was coming up

[@Paragon.Academy]

Chandler ducked the fight with Makhachev and now he says he got title shot from boby green 😂

[@kvicks916]

Michael acted like he didn’t know who Islam was. Such a dummy now

[@gavinsandhu4657]

Delusional as usual

[@xeta180]

Its self belief. Its not impossible. He can beat Olives and fight for the belt.

[@andersfersek]

He has no accomplishments in the UFC, he has proved time and time again that he isnt at that top level...

[@xeta180]

@@andersfersek hes got more losses than wins but hes competitive with the top of the division. If he fought the lower ranked guys hed be on a winstreak.

[@TheSlingeraap]

Yes but if you lose to the top fighters how delusional is it to say he’s gonne fight islam who is the camp next year

[@xeta180]

@@TheSlingeraap Its not that crazy. He just needs 1 or 2 wins to fight for the title.

Nah, he hadn’t proven himself till after. He beat short notice Bobby Green and short notice Dan Hooker. He got the title off of destroying short notice fighters lol. He’s obviously the best LW for now, but his path there wasn’t that impressive like others.

[@cyclonus01]

Chandler seems in great spirits, has been training hard and has grown as a fighter. I think he'll have a well thought out game plan for Charles. Oliveira by sub round 1.

[@thewalkingdunning-krugeref9664]

He's very pretentious. He has knowledge to share, but he's not even close to being the "best speaker" in the UFC. Also, who speaks with the most substance is more important. If I'm the UFC I'm looking at Cory Sandhagen for that job.

[@altappomaktappo7060]

Talks about betting Bobby Green waa not deserving a TS, but forgets to mention he eas the one refusing to fight islam

[@Sc-Runner]

Oh my, let’s not forget that he just said the 2 year layoff made him “the most dangerous man that he’s ever been”. Let’s remember that when he gets choked out by Du Bronx

[@laka_z]

Islam was calling for you back in the days, but he was ran, even if he win against Oliviera, he don't deserve it. how many times he loss before this fight?, 4?, 5?

[@vheothon]

Some people call him delusional but I love it, aiming big and he deserves it. I mean if he beats Charles, Conor, and gets the title shot against Islam whose to say that he can’t do what he’s saying he’ll do. Great idea champ

[@cosmicwarrior5217]

The only one out of those guys that you would have a legitimate chance to beat is Conor. Even then, that’s a toss up fight..

The best way for Chandler to get the Conor fight imo... is just to let it go.

Islam got the title shot after beating Bobby (because people including Chandler openly ducked him on Live TV), and he beat like 10 others, including Hooker who is the ONLY fighter Chandler beat before fighting for the title. Since then he has more losses than wins and now talking about fighting for the title again? 🤣. The guy thinks losing against big names like Dustin, Justin, Charles does good for his resume 🤦‍♂

[@samcruiz]

He lies so badly about Islam , when i remember very well Islam called him out while he was on live TV and he ducked him 😂 dude oh BTW he forgot to cover Tsarukyan Hair Quality.

[@saadalikhan3031]

Islam was going to fight Dariush who pulled out. The rest didnt want to fight him (now we know why), including you. And you are somehow stuck in top rankings without fighting and having lost most of your ufc fights. You dont belong in the same stratosphere as the rest of the top 5
