Is Chandler the most privileged fighter in UFC history?

[TerraRayzing]

Number one contender fight (at least for him) against Dustin. Loses. Sits out for a few years.
Number one contender fight with Charles (for him at least). Loses. Last win was over Tony Ferguson, bdw.
Number one contender fight against Arman, when he should be fighting to remain in the top 10.

I get Jones and Conor but Jones is a GOAT and Conor was a massive star. What about Chandler? I don't get it. I doubt he has creative control in his contract. He is a decent draw but nothing amazing. He is exciting but that doesn't warrant this level of privilege.
If this happens, it is only going to fuel his annoying toxic positivity even more.

 

[TrueBias]

Again, wheres the news on this?

It has to be Colby. Colby earned 1 title shot, and received 3.

 

[BjPenn2017]

No, at least Chandler came in viewed as a top guy and was a world champ in another promotion and can compete with the top guys.

Sean O Malley is most likely that guy gets a title shot off a split decision he should’ve never won, after a NC from clawing someone in the eye the fight before, and he gets his first defense against Chito Vera while Merab fights contenders on a 10 fight win streak.

other fighters are probably ducking arman just like he did with islam

Tsarukyan vs Chandler is fake news according to Arman's manager:

Sam Alvey was winless in his last 9 fights in the UFC but kept getting fights, and it's not he was ever a star or a top contender like Ferguson

Oh.That's a relief.
This thread is going to get wastelanded so might as welll say it while we're here; Fuck Chandler.

It has to be Colby. Colby earned 1 title shot, and received 3.

He had 4 if you include the Interim fight with RDA. He didn't really even earn that with one fight against a top 10 ranked opponent in Damaian Maia.
Title shots > #1 contender fights so it is Colby for sure if you put Jones and Conor aside.

 

[ninja boot]

not in my opinion.
he came to the ufc with pedigree and he makes a show of every fight he's in. I'm sure most would agree he's not going to touch gold but under the banner of an "entertainment company" he's checking the right boxes to remain relevant.

 

[RockyLockridge]

Yes an with good reason

 

[RockyLockridge]

It has to be Colby. Colby earned 1 title shot, and received 3.

Colby earned three title fights before he was ever given one. That's why his second and third title fight came easy.

He earned his first title fight after he decimated Maia, (first title fight earned) Woodley pulled out and Colby had to win an interim first. (Second title fight earned) Then they stripped him of interim for no good reason and gave his title shot to Till. So Colby had to fight Robbie after winning an interim title AND not losing (third title fight earned)

That's why I personally never complain about colbys title shots. He was robbed of his twice, once given to till another given to Usman. UFC fucked Colby over bad. It's actually nice they made things right for him

It goes back to what i've said in previous threads.

MAGA men get all the opportunities. There is a real, concerted effort to push Trump-loving fanboys to the top. Masvidal, Colby, Bryce, and Chandler have all gotten incredible (and often undeserving pushes).
And I don't care if you love Trump, or if you voted for him. Makes no difference to me.
It does pay to love him in the UFC though.

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

Finish HIM!!!!

 

[HHJ]

Def not. Most of his fights are against tough guys/top competition. They dont just make him fight some old guy and give him a title shot off that.

I do think it's true they're trying to please the president, but face the facts, most of these fighters are nazis or close. If you close your eyes are shoot a dart at a list of fighters odds are he'll be a bootlicker nutjob. It's the reality of this industry. Think Aldo or Charles will be protesting for trans rights? And we all love them. Hell I will shed manly tears when Charles retires.

Plus I wouldn't say they've been doing Mitchell that many favours. Topuria and Emmett were horrible matchups for him.

 

[Feaser]

Probably because Chandler is exciting and puts in the work to market his fights, and because he has shows that he can compete at championship levels. He also has a great attitude. People that hate him are usually just butthurt over politics.

 

[joy2day]

No way. He donates enough brain cells in each fight to earn his rewards.

Randy Couture is the answer. He could lose, retire, whatever, and get a title fight in his next fight.

I have disagreed with you on a few things here and there but I never realized you were full of shit. I seriously hope you are kidding here.
