Yep lmao sucks because every fight his stock goes up so he would have still be relevant and making noise but instead he's letting Conor call the shots

He can teach privates for 100 a session 5 hours a day n he'll be better off then 70% of America so who cares

[@nikoprsnds]

He’s got plenty of money, and I’m pretty sure his wife is a doctor too lmao. From a fighting standpoint it sucks, but if it really is about money the holdout is the best thing he could do because he will never make as much as he could from fighting Conor.

[@chaboi7]

​@mattkaiser8984 that's what I've been saying forever, not only all that what you said but also his idol worship of mcgregor is off the charts, he'd probably lick mcgregors shoes if he had a chance, it's pretty sad watching him squirm for the chance.

Chandler will be a long term success, more so than he is now. Clever, articulate and a reflective and positive mindset. If the ufc don't give him a contract of some sorts after he retires they would have dropped a huge clanger.

Thanks bro

[@fightcampro1358]

Even if the fight won’t happen, I think it was the correct decision to wait for McGregor. The risk - reward ratio wouldn’t be in his favor with basically any other top fighter in the division. So, as long as he has other business that provides a lot of money, everything is fine for him.

😂😂😂😂😂 even selling liquor like daddy Conor

Honestly I just never have seen this guy as an honest person.

[@Avaloxz]

He’s not. His fight with DP says everything you need to know. He’s a dirty fighter at the end of the day, actions speak louder than words. Anyone who has trained knows especially the fish hooking was intentional.

[@Fury421]

This division was fire a couple years back. The logjam is so crazy at the top. We have gone serious time between fights of Chandler, Gaethje, and Poirier. Feeling a bit like missed opportunity because these guys are not getting younger. Islam is a bad man, but I really dont like his fight schedule. My Chandler dream fight would be Volk.
