News DW says Gaethje vs Chandler could be the back up main event at UFC 257

The fight between Poirier and Conrat won't happen if they can't get a crowd. Gaethje and Chandler will fight if fans are not allowed.
Gaethje and Chandler won't be on the same card as Conrat. They are too expensive to be on a card with Conrat.

UFC tries to stack 3-4 PPV cards each year. I don't think money will be an issue.

Not on Conrats card. Just have a look at the card of UFC 246 Conrat vs Cowboy.
A card of Conrat can't have a titlefight or share in PPV. That's why you will only find cheap fighters on a Conrat card.
He takes a big share in the income on the card.

Why is Conor opposed to other good fights the fans want to see on his card? Isn't that counter productive? Like if the other fights draw eyeballs to your PPV Conor would make even more money.

Because the UFC and Conor don't think these fighters will have any influence and will cost more money than what they bring in.
They simply think or calculate that a card with cheap fighters and Conor gives them more profit than Conor and expensive more popular fighters.

Why would Dana say that Gaethje vs Chandler is a back up fight and not just a fight on the card. If it's a fight on the card there is no need to say that it's a back up fight.
 
Chandler is the true BMF!! Backup Mother Fucker
When he comes off a defeat to fight in a title fight against another guy coming off a defeat (Diaz) we can call him the UFC BMF Champion!

Ok this makes sense. It's the UFC and not necessarily Conor.
 
Chandler is going to submit him easily.

I don't care if Gaethje knocks him down, as soon as Chandler wants the takedown, he will get it, and from there its just a matter of time until he submits Gaethje.
Lol @ equating Chandler’s grappling to Khabib’s
