He deserves a title shot. He’s never lost in the ufc

[kayem]

Khabib said he doesn’t even have to use his wrestling to beat Michael chandler

[aaronredding]

When he's done, for sure he can be a commentator... no brainer, he talks very good

[-tzadakim-]

He looks like Tony Ferguson and Colby Covington put together

[androo]

I like how he said he wants to take the chance and fight then won’t take a fight. Sounds like a little more bark than bite

[Amzyy]

He’ll be the next lightweight Ben Askren. Fought B level competition in Bellator, prestigious wrestler and thinks he’s all that watch Khabib flying knee this man in 2 seconds.

[Kungfoopoo]

He aint beating none of the top 5 in my opinion 🤷‍♂️

Michael 'I see holes in his game' Chandler

[killertendencies]

Put him up against Islam or Dober first and we’ll see if he really UFC level

[Matrix]

" here for good time not long time " Chandler every interview

[MREDZ]

Everything Chandler has said and the way he's carried himself since signing with the UFC has made me a huge fan of his - expecting big things from him in the near future

[soef]

Come here make weight and go home. Thanks michael Chandler!

[LegndKilla]

“I wouldn’t even need my wrestling for Chandler” - Khabib. 🤣🤣

[HuKaBuRa]

Okay its decided, Im SOLD.... Chandler to Submit/get KO’d in his Debut 😂

[KJCthings]

Chandler is going to get paid with this attitude and ability to talk.

[finduskeepers]

Chandler seems lika a down to earth guy. really well spoker too, hard not to root for him but i think he´ll struggle with almost everyone one of the top 15

[djkneecaps]

Michael “I’ve never pulled out” Chandler

[Brownmumba]

Didn’t he turn down the Islam fight?! Oh yeah... he said he didn’t know who he was despite him being on a 6 fight win streak, khabibs main training partner and up and coming prospect. Nice one Chandler

[ICUP]

Did he win a prize draw recentl? Can’t believe he got free round tickets and front row seats as well as a backstage pass for this fight.. not fair! Lucky guy
