Brooks vs. Chandler 3?

[mkt]

Could it happen? Brooks is calling for it and on a 6-fight win streak, albeit mostly against nobodies in small orgs. I'd rather see it then watch Oliveira either KO or sub Chandler again in R1 or R2.

One of the biggest busts in ufc history

Better fight than Conor

Chandler made it abundantly clear that he'll no longer fight black fighters.

Something about him not wanting his kids to have the wrong idea.

Melendez was an objectively bigger bust.

Brooks would be lucky to make it off the prelims in a return to the UFC.

Shoot for the stars and hope to land among the clouds though I suppose.

They should give this guy another chance. Why not

 

[Milenkovic]

He did beat Luis Pena recently, there's that lol

Yeah, I really doubt they'll sign him again. But they're the same age (37) and honestly it's hard to say what would happen at this point. Chandler is still dangerous but fades fast. Brooks has done pretty decently after UFC/PFL but again his competition has been quite sketchy. I think it would be more interesting and less predictable than Charles finishing Chandler again. (Charles also beat Brooks in his short UFC tour). For some odd reason, Brooks seemed to have prime Chandler's number, kind of like Dennis Hallman and Matt Hughes, lol.

No way this fight is happening. Brooks has no name recognition.

Please tell me this is a joke. I know about his adopted kids, but still....

Melendez was an objectively bigger bust.

Melendez and Josh Thomson both had about 2 decent UFC fights after Strikeforce folded then went into a full BJ Penn/Tony Ferguson slide. That seems to happen to a lot of lighter weight class guys in their early to mid-30s.

It's probably an edible panty night at best.

Would rather see Eddie part 3 instead

Yeah, Eddie or Brooks would be interesting, but both have been out of the UFC and even Bellator limelight for way too long. Most casual fans won't know either one, though some may have faded memories of Conor finishing Eddie. It's unfortunate, but this is a business and forgotten fighters aren't going to sell. I get that and probably wouldn't advise either fight (especially Brooks) if I worked on the business end of the UFC.

Chandler was a top Bellator fighter and 3 years younger when he got signed. He's also an all action fighter. Brooks flunked out of the UFC, is old, and has a boring style. He won't get signed.

His wife made that decision for him. She wears the pants

That spoils another potentially epic match with The Fighter Kevin Lee.
