Will he follow his other D1'ers, or fail..
What D1 Wrestlers haven't had success with gold in UFC?

Matt Lindland was about as accomplished as you could get as a wrestler. Never could quite capture that major gold in mma.
Yep, he was highly ranked pretty much always. And definitely a notorious asshole.Lindland had a chance to fight and probably would've beat Franklin for gold and the UFC didn't want that. So they cut him for wearing an unapproved t-shirt and gave the shot to Quarry.
Lindland and Quarry were both at Team Quest at the time. There were rumors that Lindland(being an ass) beat the crap out of Quarry in training to prove a point.
Even though he never got the gold, he was considered by many to be the #1 MW in the world from that time up until Anderson beat Hendo.

Chandler is going to maul Oliveira. He'll be a nice belt warmer for Islam.
