So... What does the UFC do if Mike Chandler doesn't fight Conor?

[Istryker]

He's 38 years old and the #6 ranked LW, if the fight falls through permanently who would you want to see him face in the division?


I think winner of BSD Moicano is a perfect idea.

Or

You can float him the TS against Islam and see what's good.

Let's give someone Conor can actually beat so UFC can keep milking its cash cow. Much awaited rematches against Dennis Siver or Cowboy Cerrone sounds about right

 

[humdizzle]

i think people are over him... and he thinks he's too much of a celebrity to fight a BSD/Moicano type of guy. Max, Volk, and the top 5 at 155 style all over him.

 

[ThaiSexPills]

Chandler totally destroyed his momentum as a fun LW by sitting on the sidelines, becoming a meme waiting for his red panty night. Now he’s too old to go on a run and probably won’t get the fight he risked it all for

 

[Tapatio]

Canrat wants an easier fight if he's ever coming back. Diego in Dublin would be a cracker!

 

[_manhattan]

There are plenty of sizzle fights for him at 155, Volk should be his number one choice if Conor isnt on the table. Volk wants to go back there if he doesnt get Topuria, so I can get with that. RDA also.

Him versus Fiziev or BSD would be fun, or they can feed him Hooker, or have him see if Beneil has anything left in the tank.

Agreed 100% and I hope he doesnt get conor. Never really cared for the matchup, but they're both exciting when they show up to work.

This wasting time gig has had a sadness that outweighs its reason.

Chandler taking the winner of BSD/Moicano might actually be smart and reignite his career, showing that he can beat the hungry up and comers. . . . assuming he wins of course. Because if he loses to either his already hemorrhaging stock will bottom out quick.

He has a losing UFC record and got besmirched by JG, Poirer and Do Bronx - who are ranked guys but not even the best. We've already seen Chandler make his run, he got smashed pretty much across the board.

There was nowhere for him to go, sitting out for a big payday made perfect sense.

From his point of view he gambled while already wealthy for great wealth and the price he had to pay was being home with his loved ones instead of being away in training camps going all over the world fighting largely away from his loved ones. Win-Win.

 

[lefthighkick01]

I guess they'll have to bring in Chandler's replacement fighter Brock Lesnar

 

[AmonTobin]

They do this:

I think they’ll set him up with an action fighter comparable to him. Fiziev, Hooker, or BSD would all be appropriate.

 

[TriangleMonkey]

Chandler/Dober

BSD or Moicano

Volk

RDA

Green/Paddy winner

Get yo ass whooped by Max idk?

 

[laleggenda27]

If the Conor fight falls through, I wouldn't be surprised if Chandler gets a title shot instead. The UFC might feel inclined to do him a solid since he was a good little soldier and took his medicine while Conor played him for a fool.

Outside of that, he's really in a bind. I doubt he'll fight a rising prospect down in the rankings (he's 38, so he doesn't have any more time to waste), and he's already lost to Gaethje/Dusin/Charles. Perhaps a former champ like RDA, Volk, or Max would be enticing, although I don't know why Max or Volk would have any interest in that fight.

 

[Dr. Rose]

It is Conor's toe right? How about a match at a power slap event.

Dana would get a red panty night too.

 

[otis604]

He needs a name that will be a fun fight but really does not mean anything. Holloway, Volkanovski or Covington at WW are fights I would like to see.

 

[tat2man5k]

I'd like to see him against RDA. Winnable for either of them

 

[Cherry]

Dariush imo, but that's purely as a logical matchmaking standpoint. Would assume Chandler feels above it.

 

[Killer Kadoogan]

they'll set him up against someone else, he'll make some podcast rounds and that's about it.

 

[CieloLuce]

Give him RDA . Just to keep the dude active.
