Chandler LOL

[Wonderfight]

I find Hooker to be championship material fighter, if only he would stop brawling so much. He has all the skills needed, its only matter of working on it. Sp yeah, I would argue that he is tougher matchup than RDA.

Most of these guys are brawlers. Gaethje, Dustin, Chandler, hooker. It's like what you said. It's why they lose.

I personally don't find brawling to be that entertaining. People hype it up but it's two guys endlessly eating damage when they don't need to. It's really annoying and to me it's careless. They have families

For the most part I don't enjoy them. For the most part.

Like I said people hype it up because it's a slug it out fight. Poirier hooker to me was a disappointment. Yet people call that foty contender when it happened.

I’d argue beating Hooker means more than beating RDA.

I disagree. It's prize fighting. It's about stock. Unless he flats out knocks out hooker or have some spectacular finish, it wouldn't mean much. Oli won in taking the fight with Tony on three weeks notice on a smaller ppv card. Even though the exposure isn't as big as a Conor's card, it's enough to put oli in ranked 3 and into high profile fights now. He's now among the elite of the lw picture.

Beating Tony on a smaller card>beating hooker on a big card.

I'd agree the same if he'd beat rda. He'd have a name.

RDA is good but he's not got a lot of time left on the clock to do anything meaningful. People will remember a win over Hooker for a lot longer since Dan is likely going to keep climbing the rankings in the future. RDA is one of those expensive fighters that's been with the UFC for many years and I can see him getting shit canned after this year anyway to free up space for cheaper talent.

If Chandler can beat Hooker

he's legit, a title contender

 

[GOATshroom]

RDA is washed up. beating him means nothing. hooker just fought the guy who fought for the belt. Not sure why youre LOLing so hard

RDA beat Felder far more decisively than Hooker did

 

[Bluntforce420]

i mean, every single double champ has been gifted an immediate title shot.

I think the main issue with Conors title shot is that he never defended his FW belt

I could be wrong, but I think every other double champ defended their belt before moving up

 

[Herwald]

Dustin, Justin, Tony were never the actual champion.

RDA deserves one though, that dude's career is as solid as it gets.

It doesn't matter. They all took pictures with belts. If you're not the real champ, you don't have a pic with the belt in your profile (unless you just lost the title and it hasn't been updated). And UFC always update your profile with the photo of the very last photoshoot from your most recent fight.

Last time Conor had a belt around his shoulder was early 2018 - didn't officially have one for the Khabib fight, took photos without it. Didn't have one for the Cowboy photoshoot either. This means UFC dug into the archives.

 

[BEATDOWNS]

He refused RDA's call-out saying he had other plans to fight higher ranked and bigger-name opponents and he ends up fighting Hooker who is only ranked one spot above RDA and is a smaller name than RDA

Hooker still ranked above Islam though

 

[Bowel-forged Stool]

Gotta send these bellator guys back to Connecticut where the competition is easier

 

[Luckyme]

I think Chandler is kicking himself now for not making the RDA or Tony fights happen. Hooker is a less favorable matchup for him. RDA’s kryptonite is wrestlers and Tony is now a shell of his former self. Those could have been easy wins for Chandler and earned him a title shot.

Chandler is Bellator’s version of Kevin Lee

Delusional, Hooker exposes him

lol did u just respond to urself? at least let some other ppl post so u dont make it so obvious

 

[chillyoo]

Hooker is a harder fight now days, that dude was working DP over for a good minute. That fight was wild and the way he’s looked lately I think RDA is a better squash for Chandler this fight is toughhhh

 

[McSpikes]

Chandler is no threat to the title. At least this should be a fun fight

 

[Doughie99]

Gifted a title shot and absolutely destroyed the champion..... Salty much?
