Jared Gordon vs Michael Chandler

[SamuraiBro]

I know they’re teammates but this fight kinda makes sense. Also Chandler probably wont take it, but hear me out.

Michael Chandler is on a big loss streak and needs a bounce back fight. Doesn’t deserve a ranked opponent imo
Gordon should be on a five fight win streak.
Exciting stylistic matchup where either could KO each other.

0% chance this would happen. Chandler will only fight big names and if they are teammates, no way.

I’m aware of this, but Kill Cliff guys seem to fight each other. Like I said, it’s unlikely. But it makes sense

It would be fine matchmaking if Chandler didn't believe he only belongs in there with top contenders and marquee guys.

I wonder at what point the UFC goes ‘man we’re paying this guy a lot and he keeps losing (badly too)’
And asks Chandler to do them a solid.

Flash Gordon > Paddy > Chandler

From fighting Conor to Jared Gordon. That's gotta hurt

He can still fight Conor. Would probably have to make a bunch of concessions like the fight being at Openweight and no drug testing and it can be done. Might need to take a hammer to his own knee to show Conor that he has a chance but it's doable.

Does Chandler have that luxury anymore? Can he demand big names at this point?

You wouldn't think so

I think they'll feed Chandler to Ruffy from fighting nerds, they're trying to build him up

Chandler is done at LW. He's not getting more rematches with the same guys he fought and already lost to. He'll probably headline a fight night against someone they want to jump in rankings.

I don't think he'd be as easy a fight as one might think. That said anyone with legit title aspirations should expect to get by him....

I mean I could see him beating Dariush, but that's another guy I think will lose to everyone in the future. I just looked at the top 15 rankings and can't find a name Chandler or Dariush would beat. Or atleast a fighter I would expect them to beat. Anyone can win by a fluke KO.
