[@MartyFromDagestan]

Conor is chandler's daddy at this rate, regardless of fight outcome if it happens

[@Naksu..]

Beat Charles then beat Islam... ???????? 😂

[@Tempest_Elixir]

See you at the top 😂

[@Vulture2918]

Likely no. But definitely possible

[@consigliere254]

​@@Vulture2918 only possibility is with du Bronx. Not the Dagestani.

[@Uchihawallstreet]

It is mma anything is possible 😂

[@daking8378]

@@Vulture2918 Maybe Charles, not a chance against Islam

[@matthewa7503]

give up on mcgregor bud

[@WheyofTheDragon]

give up on Mcgregor after if he beats Charles??? Unwise idea 😂.

[@whatttxd]

Company brown nose Chandler at it again seriously how can anyone bear to listen to this dude for more than a minute is beyond me

[@GebaonBefekadu]

U cant bear to listen because ur not a normal person grow up

[@MAkAVeLlIiii]

yes you'll go latch onto conor's every word lmao...gtfo

[@jamesy1]

He's been beaten more than he's won in the ufc, don't get me wrong he is fun to watch but c'mon man

[@AngelGarcia-di6ux]

dude hes fighting the best fighters in the ENTIRE WORLD you should walk yourself out of the MMA community

[@bartoszrybacki7775]

What a clown

[@ismailsafi2755]

They keep getting him free title shots.

[@rosscoogan3339]

If he beats Charles fairenough, at his best I think he gives islam a real threat

[@InternetHandle123]

They’ll probably give him arman when arman loses and then gaethje arman

[@zehreelamachar6720]

​@@rosscoogan3339A real threat? Far from it. 😂

[@rosscoogan3339]

@@zehreelamachar6720 more of a threat then the rest of the division expect arman😂 chandler on top form never know. He should move up after Charles’s, he’d dominate WW aswell, until mcgregor comes back anyway

[@neilmacdonald6637]

God, Chandler is so entitled! He beats the corpse of Ferguson and finishes Hooker, a fight I really don't think he can replicate given his chaotic style, and he's a suddenly a marquee name in the UFC. Take a fight against an up-and-comer and let's get the division moving

[@FelixKhyriem]

He'll loss again against charles and dream about title fight see you at the bottom

[@alfiashaikh9228]

If this guy can beat Islam. It will be the biggest upset in MMA history of all time😂

[@LimerickR266]

Chandler was right to move on. It's been too long. It doesn't mean the Conor fight never happens.

[@alexferdinansyah757]

If Conor doesn't wanna fight, then I beat Islam 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣I like Chandler for his optimism, but he's talking to himself here.

[@davidmartinez2833]

2-3 in the majors with one of his wins vs. a washed Tony. I’ll bet against him again

[@zeek3580]

Ufc used Chandler. Cost Chandler money and most importantly cost him time. Everyone involved made profits besides Chandler and for all his hard work he gets Olivera. Even if he gets to fight conor if he doesn't get ppv points it still won't equal what he lost by waiting on conor.

[@Mmafredo]

2-3 and could be a number 1 contender? What a joke

[@len3169]

Gynosanya….???

[@drizzygoat-cq6cq]

🤡🤡🤡 😆 Oliveira subs him

[@ricktheruler1665]

Put ur money where your mouth is

[@ricktheruler1665]

Put ur money where ur mouth is 😁

[@MAkAVeLlIiii]

Im not a Chandler fan in the slightest but you n00bs seem to have forgotten that Chandler nearly KO'd charlie when they fought.... anything is possible

[@WheyofTheDragon]

dont count Chandler out in this matchup, he gave everyone a war. Did u watch the first fight where Charles had his back and he reversed???

[@drizzygoat-cq6cq]

@@WheyofTheDragon can't respect a dude that strokes mcnugget nutz for 3 years to not even get the fight 😂 this Oliveira L he about to take will be karma !

[@javiervenegas6714]

Chandler is 38 and hasn’t fought in two years I doubt we see Chandler 2.0

[@EzmuratNizamidin]

This guy’s personality has the word “fraud” written all over it. His words are not genuine. The eyes never lie. There is a deep dark side to this man, a dark side he desperately tries to hide with all his outside of the UFC antics. Will never be a fan

[@franklinkramer9233]

These two are gonna fight at 40 and 38 years practically then it sounds

[@unknownn2838]

Michael again stop thinking about that dream. It’s never gonna happen. Just fight Charles.

[@size14intimbs85]

do they live stream these backstage interviews?

[@kaneohe44]

He thought he could fight max???? You don’t want that lilbro

[@MMAFan20]

Fun fight

[@realife1542]

Chandler will gas after 3 mins and get stopped brutally lol

[@MrSeanPeake]

I’m not waiting around… 2 years later. Haha!

[@rancidfx999]

I’d consider chandler a bit of goody good but I think it does level out the responsibility of other fighters to have some like him

[@GebaonBefekadu]

Chandler got some great values, surely a good dad

[@jmon4286]

"I'm here for a long time, not a good time."

[@jaydodd5290]

Even of you beat oliveria, going 2-3 and sitting out waiting for Conor for 2 years doesn't warrant an immediate title shot

[@dcam1760]

He’s gonna get slept in devastating fashion

[@claytonWells-tr8yl]

Why does he talk like he is the best. He has lost more than he has won. That is exactly why Connor shouldn’t fight him he hasn’t earned it

[@nyteowl8069]

The only reason Conor is fighting him is because hes the easiest top 5 opponent for Conors style in years.

[@pedromunoz4468]

Active guy wanting for 2 yrs, that what an Active guy do

[@abudujana13]

Thanks for the video, MMA JUNKIE

[@nomadikones]

Count how many times he said "Conor"

[@einfachpaz310]

45 times. 😂

[@nomadikones]

@@einfachpaz310 did you actually count 🤣

[@einfachpaz310]

​@@nomadikones no, its an eductaed guess. 😂

[@rotorairgroup8409]

I thought it was Ben Askren. They have the same UFC record

[@jhonnyinojosa6625]

Max will smoke you, you don't deserve any kind of belt.

[@markdavis8430]

The question is will mike go to turkey or will he shave it of As a fellow bald man shave it of please ✌️

[@impetus9532]

chandler is so delusional its beyond this world. last time he beat punching bag grandpa Tony before then, everyone beat him badly, and now he is saying he is going to beat Islam. what a clown.

[@theviolentone]

hachiko still loyal to his master

[@DonPeppinoo]

bro got played LOL

[@AnthonyPedro-pz1fy]

He said he's going to beat islam.....ask porior....islam will break your spirit...in 10 munites

[@oj1101]

Tbh if we were in Chandlers shoes, why wouldn’t you wait for the Conor fight? That’s big money right there. But I also respect him from moving on and rematching another killer in Charles

[@ThonieB]

What's going to be first guy's gta 6 or another Conor fight?

[@VillanThaHero]

Either this guy is tha greatest con artist of all time or hes truly a cool genuine dude aside from tha business. I cant figure it out still. I get it.... Fighters HAVE to be cocky, confident and believe in themselves and that obviously rubs ppl who are watching on TV tha wrong way sometimes.. but once you hear someone talk..... especially for a long period of time.... You can get to see who they truly are...... I used to be a huge conor fan growing up, but as ive aged....conor trulthfully pisses me off with his unnecessary disrespect and over confidence. I respect guyslike Chandler who can talk a lil shit online but when its time to get real... He shows u class

[@cellar4763]

Chandler and Conor should fight in a circus tent because these guys are both clowns

[@timmy2582]

You dream too much

[@rosscoogan3339]

Can’t hate on him he’s a pure professional, Boy Scout Vs Bully hahaha unreal matchup Conor has to be in peak shape but chandler is always in shape and he bullies Conor if survives the first round

[@rudyjacquesdispa7580]

Starts to be a Tony 2
