Chandler is criminally overrated

He isn’t overrated

He came to the ufc late
And he’s done what he has done in the ufc

He has no chance against Conor
Even the Conor we have now, it goes just like the Conor Eddie fight literally
The champ champ’s still the best in the world?!? I knew it you guys!
 
Yup. Water is wet. Dana hits his wife. Jon cheats.
 
He was a contender for best lightweight in the world around 2013, I probably would have favored him vs Eddie in a trilogy in 2016 when he was the UFC champ too, he came into the UFC when the division had progressed a lot and still came close to knocking out Charles for the title.

Obviously now he's old and washed on top of his game being outdated.
 
He goes balls out every time he enters the cage, and has the skillset to beat just about any top talent at any given time. I think he has a lower ceiling than a lot of the best dudes, but he also can hang with just about anyone

Benson, Eddie, and Pitbull are good wins for anyone's resume. Most guys who have beaten him are top talents and he's threatened just about every single one of them

I'd favor him over pretty much any iteration of Conor he could have possibly faced off against
 
I think that, all things considered, he's still a good win for anyone who beats him. He's lost fights he was winning, a time or two, and Hooker is and was a good win. Tony wasn't a good win, but his head is still out in space somewhere. He's still pretty spry for an old man
 
It wasn’t that long ago that many people here said he could be champ if he wrestled but chooses to get knocked out for the fans. Very clever take.

I remember people pretending he was actually the thougest matchup for Islam just to be different lol.
 
Between his height, black history month stuff, his motivational speech shit, he‘s so easy to hate lol. But he s a fun fighter to watch even if he‘s fringe.
I like his speech gimmick and how he adopted kids. Why would anyone hate that?
 
I think Over exposed is a better term than over rated. Nobody really thinks he's elite. But he does draw a lot of attention for a guy with a losing record so it gets a bit much after a while.
 
He's a stud but his youth is over. Can't pick his UFC results, look at the whole career. He was competitive vs everyone in the UFC, besides ironically Paddy. You expire at some point. His Bellator career was his prime where he had his rivalry with UFC champ Eddie Alvarez

Bellator Chandler was a lot more calculating. Maybe it's wear and tear, aging, lack of activity or the mounting losses taking a toll on him. It's also possible Islam was right about Micheal coming to the UFC to try and cash out with a Conor fight.
 
He's shit on here regularly for being washed up

Came to the UFC late after 45 wars
i feel prime chandler would have been bodied in the UFC

the eddie UFC title win was pretty fluky. Him getting schooled by cerrone shows about where he really stood. RDA just woke up on the wrong side of the bed that night. It was a Serra vs GSP moment

Hooker is literally still highly ranked to this day and you've still got guys parroting the bullshit they heard from Retardo Moicano, smh.
