There is something so forced about Michael Chandler

[TerraRayzing]

Watched the media press conference he did tonight and I like the guy but there's something about him that's incredibly forced and fake. Every answer of his is a sermon and he tries so hard to be perfect with everything he says.
I don't care. If being fake (I wouldn't even call it being fake, more like emulating a different, more appropriate persona) gets him sponsors and better deals, more power to him but he's kinda like Colby, in like he's always on.
Something about watching him looking absolutely broken and yet still preaching made me lol.

Chandler’s thirst for the Conor fight is Sahara Desert level. It’s kind of off putting how desperate he is. Chandler is the perfect example of why you shouldn’t trust and put your faith into an alcoholic/drug addict.

It’s a balancing act trying to chase that McGregor money while being humble for the Lord. It’s WWE persona but blue collar Christian family man underneath. Is normal.

I like chandler but
He should of fought on this card
It’s time to move on or move on out

 

[legcramp]

He's just a well-spoken dana white privilege white boy.

Agreed.
Trusted Dana and Conor and then started preaching about god making things hard for the best people. Ded.

UFC creative just gave Chandler a gimmick that he isn’t comfortable in doing…

Is normal.

Michael Chandler is the type of guy to offer motivation when nobody's asking for it. The type of guy to preach about God to you out of nowhere.

I guess it's just his way of navigating this world. He wants to be viewed in a certain light and maybe even looking to enlighten others in his ways. Just mosey on over to his YouTube channel named Walk on Wisdom and it's all you need to know. Chandler is a full-time preacher and a part-time fighter

Maybe he's a little weirdo, misunderstood or whatever but I don't think he's a bad guy

The guy had one dream in his life. And somehow, the same coke addict keeps ruining it. The fake persona seems like an expected coping mechanism.

He reminds me of an AA guy but without the history of substance abuse that I know of

Walk on wisdom.
I don't think he's a bad guy at all and like I said more power to him for acting this way and it working out for him but it's see through, especially in the current time.
You know he's pissed at Conor, UFC and Dana but god this, man that.

I think he's trying to reassure himself of his decisions despite receiving harsh criticism from general public. It's hard to say if he's projecting or motivation preaching sometimes. But yeah probably deep down inside he's pissed off lol.

Conors return to the UFC goes through me
Nobody would fight me with any injury even more
I'm a draw
I'm a top lightweight
Always have a nice discussion with the UFC even when it's a bad one

Oh he's definitely coping lmao.
Oh well. Hope he gets the fight. I can't imagine the feeling if Conor comes back and fights anyone else other than Mike. Sad thing is Mike can't do a thing to stop that from happening.

I remember during his celebration in the Tony fight he was crying and pointing to his son in the crowd and then his face shifted to a casual, neutral expression in a matter of seconds. It was so forced. Theres something off about this dude.

I also find it weird how many times he's thrown bellator under the bus while praising the UFC.
Think he called every other league amateur once. In comparison they are but you don't need to say it against a company that built you up.

 

[stronghulk]

I agree that it is a very desperate look. Kind of pathetic, and wether the fight happens or not he will always be remembered for it, "You'll do as your told". There are so many videos of him calling out Conor, soon Conor could set up a restraining order.
Chandler should be remembered as the warrior he is, but damn he has taken this far.

 

[justmark]

yeah, he seems like a fake nice guy.

 

[wildchild88]

Not as forced as robot Anik.

 

[BigGucciSosa]

A whole bunch of people in this thread looking for a reason to hate someone.

How many people do you know would look cool dancing to Frank Zappa alone on the dance floor
