Chandler - Dana White privilege

Chandler vs Arman makes zero sense other than to reward Chandler, in which case it's not completely out of the question.

A Paddy vs Michael fight makes sense though, and also kind of fits on that card nicely if that bad rumor(s) is true... that UFC's 314 Volk vs Topuria 2 was off, Volk vs. Lopes was being made an interim FW title, and Ilia was facing Islam for the 155lb title. I think it had Doo Ho Choi vs. Swanson 2 floated as well. If the UFC wasn't so desperate to put together a big fight, I would simply chalk it up to being nonsense and move on. But in this era of the UFC, I don't think anything's off the table anymore.
 
Great fight. Sherdoggers angry, naturally. Always bitter and resentful toward a jacked white boy.
Let's just hope he figures out how to fight without cheating this time

Yes, because never in his storied career has he done that before. Show us all of your grand achievements in professional fighting, at your earliest convenience. Undoubtedly, they dwarf Chandler's.
 
It is bullshit that he keeps getting ranked guys, but at the same time Arman is going to maul him so it'll work itself out.

I don't get it at all.

I almost never root for Chandler (only because he fights my favorites for years) but I ALWAYS want to watch him fight....

Who says they don’t want to watch him fight? We just want him to actually have to earn these opportunities like everyone else would have to.

Fair point... Better than fair.

The rank squatters for sure need to start fighting down.... And Chandler's record and McGregor odyssey have kept him ranked high for too long, no matter how fun he is.

Yeah, as if doing something like Chandler vs Moicano would have them going "Aw fuck, I wanted to watch Chandler fight!"

Yeah, we can hope, but every fight is a gamble, which is why "expected results" shouldn't be reason enough to roll the dice
 
Well he better be. After what he puts himself and his family through after all these KO losses, motivational BS speeches, Black History month, etc.

Personally I prefer a more calculated fighter. I always cringe a bit with the Cerrone/Chandler types who are all smiles after their 5th TKO losses.

Wasnt the main point of Chandler/Charles that the UFC wanted two guys who werent Khabibs leftovers to be fighting for the belt because it looked better for them?

There's always gonna be those.

Fighting is a crazy business.

I remember when Matt Serra lost to Hughes in a close split dec.

Serra took it real bad. He was like " I really needed that win..."
 
Read this as "Chandler, Dana, White Privilege" initially and got irrationally angry lol

I agree, Dana has "his guys" for sure.. however, at least he isn't boring. He is going to get a KO or get finished.

He doesnt always get finished, but the guy fights for the whole fight. God help you if you mess up or get tired.
 
GoddDAMN that would be an awesome fight.

That‘s a digression but Serra was really legit around 2000 and had some tough fights with top apanyents. I find that his name doesn‘t get the respect it deserves imo.
