Michael Chandler vs. Justin Gaethje - Is this the fight to make?

[Takes Two To Tango]

Looks like this is the fight Dana White and his cohorts want to do next for these gentlemen.

Is this the right match up?

Of course.

The result:

 

[Arne Rud]

Nice fight

 

[Leinster Rugby]

Fook it I'd watch but then again I'd watch Gaethje fight off a cold. Guy is pure entertainment

 

[Doughie99]

I'd rather see Oliveira vs Gaethje.

but.....ok.....I'd like to see Gaethje flatten Chandler so that's good too. That'll be more or less the end of Chandler.

 

[heavyarms21]

It's a fucking banger , 2 of the UFC best imports of the last few years definitely one for fans and a Title fight set up for both

I rather see dustin or conor vs oliveira. Conor so brazillian man can get his brazillian panty night

 

[Murder_KickHC]

Sure. As long as Conor gets the next TS after beating Poirier.

 

[Juan Bombadil]

It’s so obvious that even Dana can’t say no.

 

[wheel2wheel]

Mirror image of each other, but I think Gaethje will pulverize Chandler at this point.

 

[BenRichards]

That 1st round going to be fire that's all I know

I agree, I like Chandler and I think he is the real deal, but a loss here would severely derail his hype train

Dustin vs Oliveira would be good, and I think there's a very good chance we see that fight before end of 2021.
I think Oliveira is going to fight one (or both) or Gaethje and Poirier in his next 2 fights. Both those are HARD fights, tricky to say who will win.

Best LW's on UFC roster now, IMHO (not in any particular order) :
Oliveira
Poirier
Gaethje
Makhachev

How soon is Gaethje going to fight again? Chandler just fought and we may have to wait several months for him to fight again. RDA might be a good opponent for Gaethje in the meantime.

I think Oliveira vs Gaethje in Aug or Sept is a strong possibility. Oliveira was undamaged from his fight, and I think that fight would be great.
If not...then Oliveira will be fighting Poirier but that will probably have to wait til November as Poirier will want a full camp after his easy win in July.

 

[SHAZAM]

Nah. Bunch of undeserving shots everywhere. Fight makes no sense. I guess as long as Dariush gets his title shot while the rest fight it out.

I wouldn't say undamaged but I get what you mean.
Hopefully both Oliveira and Chandler take some time off as they both ate very hard shots.
I would like to see them at their best when they return.

would be a banger
