He was already the replacement for the title fight between Khabib and Gaethje. UFC picked Chandler and not Oliveira.

So the moment Chandler signed with UFC, they valued him more than that guy who's in the UFC forever and only got to the top after all this years for beating a washed up Tony.

And now he destroyed Hooker easily like he was an amateur or something on a Conor PPV card.
 
UFC doesn’t want Oliveira to have the belt. Chandler will get it. Chandler vs Poirier is the fight to make. Ride the momentum. These guys both did their jobs last night let them fight for the belt. I don’t see any other way to go. Sorry but Oliveira is just not relevant to PPV money hungry Dana.
 
If Khabib was out, that wasn't going to be a title fight, it was going to be the interim title fight.

They all thought Gaethje would beat Chandler anyway, Gaethje's hype was big before Khabib finished him, so that wouldn't be a problem.

Oliveira definitely deserves the title shot more than Chandler, because after that he beat Tony Ferguson, which puts him above in the rankings more. Oliveira didn't beat Ferguson when they put Chandler as a replacement in that interim title fight against Gaethje.

And again, being replacement doesn't necessarily means being better, many fighters don't want to be a replacement, because they need to cut weight, and usually in the end they do nothing. They force their body for nothing, so being replacement is not something every fighter would accept.
 
Dana gets visibly ill at the thought of charles oliveira being champ.
 
He is the real deal

since Chandler took zero damage lets have Chandler vs. Olive

or

Olive gets left behind and Chandler gets it
 
Benson? What year is this???


I like him, but Benson is barely .500 in Bellator these days, he has a mediocre 5-5 record there.


<{cruzshake}>
Tony would also lose to the guys Bendo lost to in Bellator.
 
Beating hooker in 2-3 minutes is more impressive than getting a decision over the ghost of Tony Fergusson. A no-brainer Chandler should be ahead of Olives.
 
I think Oliveira might have lost his chance when he refused to fight Chandler and instead they had to give the fight to Hooker.. Dana doesn't like that shit and Chandler on the other hand was always willing to fight and even weighed in as backup for Khabib/Gaethje which counts for a lot. I guess it depends on whether Poirier is willing to fight Chandler otherwise Oliveira may well indeed be fighting for title soon anyways but probably needs to get through Gaethje first
 
Gaethje deserves the title shot.

Either way, Porier, Gaethje and Chandler fights will have just bleed all over it.

Oliveriera fought a washed up Tony and Lee the fraud so he won’t last against leg breaking brawlers.
 
This is retarded. The UFC is just trying to leverage the investment they made in Chandler. He’s not their golden boy. He has potential but the UFC just wants to make the biggest fights that make the most money. Could that be Poirier vs Chandler? Maybe but not if Poirier refuses, which he already has.

The guy who just KOd McGregor has leverage. If he doesn’t want to fight some random that they just signed and beat a guy who’s now 3-3 in his last 6, it will be hard to make him. Many now view him as the top guy in the division (besides Khabib) and that’s not something you can strip.

The path of least resistance and most money is to make 3 fights out of this. Poirier vs Olievera for the title, Gaethje vs Chandler for the top contender spot and the winners fighting each other.
 
Ferg >>>> Hooker


Oliveira has a far more solid win streak aswell.
Yep; Chandler has lost TWICE during Charles' streak

lol wut?
Hooker has been in SIX wars in the past 30 months taking shitloads of damage and retired in the octagon apparently.
Tony got obliterated on THE GROUND AND WITH TAKEDOWNS by Charles in a manner nobody had even threatened, including fucking his arm with a legendary level submission.
