So anyone actually interested in this fight?

Would like to see the numbers.

michael chandler is a bad fighter quite simply put. to me he is a cross fitter more than a fighter. he hasn't done anything notable in UFC and only gets kept bc he is a literal lapdog for the organization has has quite a name.

I have zero interest in this. Aside from being a completely irrelevant fight with two has beens, they are insanely embarassing to listen to. They will make the event about themselves.

If this event is going to be a defeat lap of Dana showing how bad his current roster is, I rather have likeable fighters in it, like Mighty Mouse. Fuck, given Conors current ability to fight, I rather watch Shogun vs Machida III than this.

Zero chance Conor will give up the sneachta long enough to pass a drug test

He is absolutley NOT a bad fighter. Calm the fuck down bro, seriously.

He WAS a good fighter, and very exciting, but he's old and busted up.


Which...makes him pretty much a perfect match for Conor.

What do you want them to do instead? talk about how great america is? who the fuck wanna listen to that crap? There's gonna be enough of that in between the fights.

In seventeen seventy.. SHUT THE FUCK UP.

Cant fail if they dont test!

 

[sonhow]

Michael Chandler is interested Id bet

 

[Last Falconry]

not even Conor is interested in it

 

[CannotWin]

I will laugh hysterically if somehow they manage to exume the wornout body of Holly Holm to give her yet another unearned spot at a main card so we can be graced by one last ish ish shadow boxing decision.

Conor is coming off two finish losses and has lost won a fight in 2020 over Cerrone.

Chandler is coming off three losses in a row and is 2-5 in the UFC.

There are zero stakes attached to this fight and it could be very possible neither guy ever fights again regardless of the outcome.

Even the promotion of this fight will be some artificial beef between two has-beens who, in actuality have no issue with eachother.

Personally, I couldn't give less of a fuck about this fight. I never cared about it back when it was first announced and even less these days. Didn't watch a single episode of their TUF season either. Its just an incredibly irrelevant fight in the grand scheme of things.

Anyone excited for this, more power to you. Hope it meets your expectations and its everything you want out of this fight. I however, have zero interest.

Some time ago I decided I was never missing a Chandler fight. I've kept with it and have never been disappointed.

The build up will be epic and kill or be killed Chandler will not disappoint. I can't even imagine a fight fan not loving his fights. Prolly just the wmma fanboycucks.. but whatever.

 

[HHJ]

I am absolutley gonna watch this shit show.

Fuck anyone who thinks they are above this shit.

 

[Zyklon R]

I'd only be interested in seeing it if Mike Chandler hands him his ass and I never have hear McGregor name ever again

 

[Blastbeat]

The intrigue for this fight faded a long time ago. If it happens, ok. If it doesnt happen, whatever.

 

[ricc505]

As a spectacle only. I like fights and don't really care about belts and records. I don't follow pre fight shit talk. But if this is the marquee fight it needs a lot of violence or a spectacular ko

 

[TheNewGame]

This excites me about as much as Diaz/Lawler 2.

This excites me about as much as Diaz/Lawler 2.

That wound up being worth watching, for as long as it lasted.

 

[Xoleth]

Nope, not interested

I would rather see Max vs Charles

 

[TriangleMonkey]

I am absolutley gonna watch this shit show.

Fuck anyone who thinks they are above this shit.

Its gonna be a glorious shit show
