How does Chandler vs Islam go?

I don't get the hate for Chandler. He went from a boring fighter to all action in the UFC. He has fought top guys and would probably have a better record if he went back to his boring wrestling style. I think he is currently one of the most entertaining fighters

I don't think anyone hates Chandler, but dude is 38 and fights like a caveman. Reckless fighters will always be entertaining to watch (e.g, Tony, Jiri) but they tend to choke against high level opponents.

Islam should be fighting Arman, not Chandler. The only reason this is even being discussed is because the UFC wants to compensate Chandler for the McGregor fight.

As many as possible? Why are we stressing move ups any time a champion has 3 defenses?
Yeah.. they should like them up and letting Islam clean the house over and over.

Problem is that he already beat #1 #2 and #4 convincingly... and #3 #6 #7 #8 are coming of loses.

They should throw Gamrot at Islam if he beats Arman to keep him busy while some other contender comes up.
 
Islam prolly beats his ass but crazier things have happened. I would have thought chandler had a better shot at beating Islam than strickland beating izzy.
 
Islam beats in round 2 - after a competitive first round

Chandler always competitive for a round until
He dumps all his energy swinging haymakers
 
Chandler catches him early, mofo panic shoots for a takedown. Chandler defends, but they end up against the cage. Chandler slips and Mofo half accidentally knees him to the head, while trying to grab Mikes glove and set up a trip.
Doctor asks Chandler where he is and Mike says see you at the top!
Fight gets called off and mofo still abudhabiweight champ.
 
Says the guy who trains UFC. Maybe I will get off sherdog if it's full of retards like you.
I'll be the one to start the party on that day.
 
There's guys on the regional circuit that would give Islam a harder fight

Chandler isn't very good

Honestly, I think the current top 5 at FW all stand a better chance vs Islam than Chandler does

No one has ever ran over Chandler despite him fighting tough competition. I'd say he's plenty good...

Much better wrestler than most fighters on the UFC, much less the regional circuit.
 
Micheal Chandler starts off very strong, stuffing takedowns and all. Probably will get a little too excited and blow his load early on. Islam via submission or a counter.

In the post fight interview Michael Chandler then calls out Conor McGregor
 
Chandler has a tough night.

The top 5 are out. History has shown they won't get a shot at Mak, but Volk will.

It’s not Islam’s fault that Volk was next up for a TS before he even got the belt, and it’s not his fault that Oliveira pulled out which is the only reason the second Volk fight happened.
Wasn't Gamrot the backup fighter in camp that got completely glossed over for the second Volk fight?
How'd that even come about? Did Volk push for the fight or did the UFC push for the fight?
 
Islam is not Khabib and is not as dominant . No idea who he fights but he should get Chsndler as he been burned by Cobor n played the company man by waiting. Who else gets the fight? Mach is a grest fighter but is beatable
 
Chandler is a strange guy, he stands 3 rounds vs Gaethje, but got dropped by a semi-dead Oliveira in the 2nd.
He also survive Oliveira's RNC, but got submitted by poirier.

Chandler is kinda a midget for LW, but have decent wrestling skills and is a explosive guy.
Chandler could be a bigger treat to islam than most people think.
But still, Makhachev 70/30
