Chandler was technically getting outclassed by that old Tony and lost R1 and then landed a miraculous front kick. He never throws that kick but hey he got that finish, good for him. However, he loses to every top-10 LW now. He is 2-3 in the UFC, only reason people like him is because he fights dumb throwing looping punches, a couple of them connect and its exciting but over a course of a fight he cant beat anybody good who is not old. Chandler vs Conor is the perfect fight for both guys and fans, both are not championship material so just make that fun fight.

You guys let the employees from the ufc and media members tell you how great Michael chandler is but every time someone from the top 15 gets a win he gets called out. He is the easiest fight with the highest ranking. He’s not that talented, and does not have the same drive that these other fighters have. I heavily dislike chandler, so much even that I was pulling for Conor to beat chandler. Everything you know about a fake individual exists in chandler. I think he does peds and gets away with it. Talks down on up and coming fighters but only will acknowledge them after he surpasses them. Says yes and has no issue with anything whatsoever and gets special treatment after only 2 years and a 2-3 record with the company. Hides the fact he can’t reproduce by saying he would prefer to give a kid another chance by adopting, due to habitual steroid use. He is that guy at the job, that the only reason anyone talks to him is if they have to work with him.

I get you, Sir Sonnen have a lifetime obsession with being champion while also being a big draw to make money. It really isn't that crazy to think Charles would fight Conor next.. because unlike youz Charles WAS a champion..a legendary one. If you were Charles what gets you more motivation.. Fighting Islam or the second time in a year.. for a belt that he ruled with an iron Guard . Literally. Which is going to be at 155, which means another awful weight cut Or... You fight the most notorious/beloved & popular fighter of all time. Maybe close to even Muhammad Ali in relevancy... Make 5x more than yourr biggest pay check as a fighterr. & If Charles won he knows he will be fighting for the belt right afterr . It's actually pretty genius because if it goes Charles vs Conor Charles can then take the winner which only helps his cause because either Islam or his opponent leaves with damage.
