My Analysis Of Justin Gaethje vs. Dustin Poirier At UFC 291

[@supermannyg3]

No one’s laughing at your loses bro. You put up a great showing and we love it.

[@dammaguy1286]

He's a savage bruh, only haters laugh at him cuz they jealous.

[@Konnor1224]

Dude absolutely lost my mind during those two fights. It when I became a fan of chandler! Badass!!!

[@GigaChadDuPlessis]

Facts bro. Chandler scraps. Idc if he wins or loses. I just wanna see him fight

[@sagivijayaramaraju1153]

Totally agree with the exception of him cheating in the Dustin fight.

[@Grey_Just_Grey]

I don't think anyone can laugh at Chandler's loses to these guys. On each occasion, he risked it all, and on each occasion, he left a part of himself in that cage. Respect.

[@Rotscrek]

Michael. I don't really care if you win or lose. Each and every of your performances in the UFC so far has been nothing but fireworks. As a fight fan, I will not miss any of your fights.

[@Old-Man-Moto]

Mr Chandler, You have earned something that even a belt cant replicate. Widespread respect. Everyone knows when you step in the octagon, its gonna be a banger. Winning all your fights is nice, but there are names like you and Clay Guida that make the fans want to see your fights, because you leave it all in the octagon. RESPECT!

I think Chandler is one of the most ego-less and mature fighters ever. Its actually kind of scary and impressive.

[@ThenDarknessFalls]

That's the main reason I hated that Dustin trashed him after their fight. People always build Poirier up (and rightly so), but he's clearly still got that part of him that if he just doesn't like you, he has no use for niceties.

This is the first time I heard someone say Dustin has more power that Justin ! That def changes things!

[@flor18gatar]

i'm a fan of dustin, but I think that's a bit of a subconscious recency bias on chandler's part, since he's the last dude that cracked him good, respectfully. The stats show that gaethje's the harder hitter, having more ko's than dustin in less fights than him. Edit: For people getting their panties up in a bunch, refer back to the first 5 words in my comment.

[@ijaraaa]

@@flor18gatar justin is known as a hard striker mainly because of his leg kicks, he cant hit hard too but people commonly get mixed up thinking that gaethje has some other worldly power for a lightweight. Edit: obviously Justin hits hard but he kicks harder those are his hardest strokes where he does the most damage. I mean he literally separated Dustin’s quad

[@spookshow6999]

[@raeezschroeder9647]

The reason is simple DC is his (Justin’s) biggest fan boy

[@jacobsamano9761]

That commentary was biased. Because Gaethje was fighting in his hometown in front of his family and friends and he was the new “hot shot” of the division and was getting propped up pretty heavily. That’s why you saw Poirier celebrating immediately after knocking Justin out.

[@gringopaul3423]

Your humility speaks well of your character. Your analysis of the coming bout is excellent. Every time I see you fight or speak, I respect you more. You have more fans now than you've ever had before. You are both a "must watch" fighter and now a "must watch" commentator.

[@zealpulses3826]

Go rewatch the fight. Dustin had Justin in the first round but the other rounds Justin was getting the better of the exchanges. The leg kicks was a big factor for Justin but was also his downfall. Dustin was countering a few of the leg kicks. His timing was perfect when he rocked Justin. Justin could've won that match but his coach told him to focus on the leg kicks going into that last round. Which wasn't necessary at that point. Dustin leg was already compromised. The coach should have noticed how well Dustin was countering.

The high altitude might play a big factor in the fight and since Gaethje trains in high altitude and Poirier doesn't, Gaethje might end up winning.

Watch with the commentary off

[@NB-fk6ej]

Dude no lol. Dustin was DEFINITELY on the verge of getting finished if he didn’t land that early shot right at the start of the round. The leg kicks FAR outweighed a few good combos that Gaethje doesn’t even feel

[@niccolodeon2397]

@@NB-fk6ej thats a bad take. He obviously was feeling the shots hence why he eventually got hit one too many times in the head and got finished. Could he have got the leg kick tko sure but dustin was still there, still had movement and wasnt hobbling around. Most the time someone gets stopped by leg kicks they get dropped multiple times, resort to going on the ground or leaning against the cage, dustin did none of that. Kept pushing forward and punching gaethjes head off.

I'm way more excited to watch this one than the last, bc it's two guys who are much closer to being matched in their skill levels and where they are in relation to reaching their prime potential (over the course of their careers.) As much as we all love Diaz, I felt like he had already reached his peak and had started to go over the other side, while Masvidal was just coming into his. They weren't in the same place on the timeline, and that made it feel like the winner was a much more obvious choice before that first bmf bout. Anything could happen here!

[@manikandans2890]

People are so quick to jump on Poirier’s lacklustre second round against Chandler but fail to point out Gaethje’s worst performance of his career against Charles. He got dropped by a submission artist and choked within the first 5 minutes whereas Poirier gave Charles a run for his money. Gaethje may have evolved a bit but that’s about it. Just because he used a few jabs in the 3rd round against a gassed, not-so-experienced, and up and coming fighter, people overlook his Charles fight. However, I do like how they underplay Poirier’s skills. I want them to count him out so that he can prove them all wrong!

I got poirier. I think his selective striking is gonna be a huge factor. His ability to stay calm and defensive with his back against the cage is also gonna help when Justin tries to brawl. But most importantly, I think he'll be able to nullify Justin's leg kicks with good checks.

Who is here after Justin KO'd Dustin in round 2??

[@RijoBomjen-cs7kt]

Nope ....Justin 'the mythical head kicker' gaethje.

[@marucat2797]

You are excellent on the mic! Keep up the videos Mike! ❤

[@kenwoods9247]

Im going with Gaethje! He wants this one more than Dustin! Hopefully, he won't Stop until he gets it! These are my two favorite fighters!

[@vintagefish1083]

Man I hope you take up analytics after you’re done fighting! Love hearing your unbiased opinions and the amount of respect you give these fighters that are in the same line with you!

[@billbixby557]

Nice analysis, I had the same 50/50 DAWG split from the second I heard the categories. You're a BEAST Mike, you can always hold your head up high. 👊

[@arianluna4548]

Thank you Michael chandler for giving us great exciting fights. You always bring it and that is more than I can ask for. Some win but they are boring. Not you sir! God bless u more.

[@garygregory5794]

Great analysis, you are probably the BEST person to evaluate this fight. Good insights, let's see how this goes. Super excited.

My Man. Didnt know you had a channel. Jeff County Strong!!!!!!!!!!!!! LETS GO!!!!!!!

[@trevormain1358]

Chandler doesn't need to minimize his career. He stood in a cage with the greatest mma fighters and gave them hell. In my book he joins them as one of the greatest. We all have strengths. We appreciate yours Michael.
