This is a waste of an event, Chandler would put on a much more competitive fight.

[FilipEmoFights]

Dustin clearly has the same exact weaknesses as he has had since 2017….
It’s almost as if he’s a sacrificial lamb so Islam can have a win over someone exciting and well known.

Like dude. In real life we all know that no one cares about Islam. Islam and his friends seem to go out of their way to be as boring as they possibly can be and I am not just referring to their fights or their fighting styles. They are essentially wrestling machines; their lives as people and connection to humanity only served as the vessel that has allowed them to conduct their grappling oriented personalities.

No. Prime Chandler got outwrestled by Will Brooks.

Shorts-grabbin' Dustin has a better chance, though not by much.

Dc: “Khabib is scolding Islam in the corner!”

Khabib is mortified that Islam is having a somewhat exciting fight and is actually willing to engage Dustin in all facets of MMA

 

[mkt]

It's possible the best version of Chandler could beat Islam...or give him a hellacious fight. But I don't think the 37-year old Chandler has more than a small puncher's chance.

 

[SalvadorAllende]

Maybe Chandler should have beaten Poirier.. OR Gaethje?

Mike is getting his red panty night.. let him be.

 

[w00t]

Chandler would swing big haymakers and get gassed in 2 rounds if he isn't finished in the 1st or lands the big one. It's just what it is.

This is what cost some fighters to lose as they would like to test their opponent's strength

Thing is, Chandler is a white belt on the ground.

So, if Islam just gets one takedown, it's pretty much over.

I wouldn't put it past him to defend for a while though and there's always that chance to land a big shot.

I doubt it though. The difference in fight iq is just too big, which is what a lot of these fights are coming down to.

 

[markantony20]

Chandler doesn’t have the ground skills to fuck wit Islam.

Great wrestler, but not grappler.

Chandler is a super low iq fighter.

IIRC, Gaethje got the best of Chandler on the ground and actually attempted a submission or two on him.

Lmao you weirdos are the problem. Makachev is the same as any normal man throughout history all across the world. Believe it or not most men around the world don’t need pink headed trash talking jabronis with rented cars and paid women to entertain their simple polluted minds. I bet you were sat there with your bud light going crazy for Strickland though?

Do yourself a favour and go outside camping or hunting

 

[balkanbomber85]

I think after tonight everybody who isn't exactly a Dagi-Bathtub-Enjoyer can say that there are enough guys in LW who coult not only make it interesting but win.

Arman, Gaethje, BSD, hell even Max etc.

155 is imo is the most competitive division across MMA.

Arman, Gamrot, Holloway would make it interesting with Makhachev. I think Justin Gaethje would be his easiest fight, even Mcgregor I think would put up a better fight against Makhachev than Gaethje.

Michael Chandler has made all the ranked UFC lightweights literally fight for their lives in there wit him, win or lose

 

[ComfortablyNumb55]

Absolutely not.

Dustin exceeded expectations.

That was far closer than I thought it'd be.

 

[RemyR]

I can see why you have a yellow card if your other opinions are as special

 

[NoSmilez]

Dustin has bad hips. He isn't going to get better with training. He is just doing what he can. It was an awesome performance though. It's really not bad for his last fight. Hopefully they can convince him to stick around for BMF stuff.

 

[Bubzeh]

The division is weak but nobody wants to talk about it.
