Both bring their own pros and cons. I think UFC brought Chandler in under similar conditions to Askren, in that if he could win a few big fights, get some momentum building, that's great... but ultimately though they'd love to see him get shadow realmed in spectacular fashion, just as Masvidal did to Askren. Preferably by Conor if Dana had his way.
Would UFC prefer to have Oliveira as champion, possibly defeating Poirier or McGregor, and have him as a limited draw due to not speaking any english etc?
Or have Chandler as a champion, possibly defeating Poirier or McGregor, and have him legitimize Bellator further by having people say at that point "the best LW in the world was in Bellator all along"?
