Opinion: Chandler Left The Octagon Due To Embarrassment

[SDFightFan]

I just don't buy the argument that Chandler's injuries were so severe that he couldn't hang around for two minutes while Buffer announced the decision. I've seen people busted up far worse and still congratulate the other fighter. He didn't get knocked out, he didn't break a bone, there wasn't a spine issue. He was bleeding from cuts, sure, but that happens most fights. I think facing the fact that he's now lost 5 of his last 6, and the fight wasn't remotely competitive, and his hero was in the building led to him choosing bad sportsmanship. It's in these trying moments that you see a man's true character. Will Dana cut him now?

 

[Gabe]

He had a gaping hole in his face I’m sure that had something to do with it.

 

[Here's Johnny!]

Possibly, he was. But he looked fine when he met with Paddy backstage.

That was a year ago when paddy beat Tony

 

[Takes Two To Tango]

That was a year ago when paddy beat Tony

They did mention on the post fight show that Chandler got stitched up in the back and didn't need to go to the hospital, he was ok.

Think he was just shy

But I thought he gon call out Connie

Did you see those 12 to 6 elbows that slid right through Chandlers guard at the end? Those were horrific looking. And those happened after he already had been fucked up.

I'mma let the guy go back and get stitched up after that..

It's crazy they allow that

Once a guy saw someone do that to an inanimate object and he determined that people would DIEDED if that technique was allowed!!!

 

[surgeyou1]

Idk. Chandler wouldn't pass up free mic time.

His face was fucked up. Those elbows were nasty

Chandler is better than his UFC record will ever show IMO. Guy keeps getting absolute terrible matchups and winds up getting the shit beat out of him. Sucks as a fan of his.

A lot of fans thought Chandler would be too much for Paddy, actually.

Myself included. However, I gotta rewatch the fight, but chandler got too excited once again and put himself at risk. Think he went for a submission and got over zealous.

You may not buy it, but that's due to stupidity.

 

[MRT]

I half expected another post-loss Conor call out from Chandler...thankfully we were spared that cringe.

 

[MDoza]

Nah, he just had to make himself appear weak so that Connor would be more willing to take a fight against him.

 

['Rocky']

He also may have shit himself. It's all speculation

Terrible take but as a white belt you are probably new to the sport and don’t know what you’re talking about.

Just a little more trauma for his kids.

 

[goOb]

Michael Chandler had a damaged Medulla Oblongata no time for a post fight interview.

never let the truth get in the way of a good story...
