Did you watch Chandler's last few fights? You don't think he's a top lightweight?

of course he is and for anyone to say different is a blind fool. Good for chandler getting the big pay day.. he came into the UFC and fought killer after killer and put on exciting fight after exciting fight.. He deserves this.. i wish he was in the ufc 7 years ago..

 

[Weidman]

Oh lord, let's hope for double knock out.

 

[CatsAndPot]

50/50 fight IMO. If Chandler brawls the way he did against Gaethje and Poirier, he's getting knocked out. If he fights smart, he could beat and probably finish Conor, who's chin seems to be cracking.

LOL.

 

[Masturbin]

Diaz is a WEC, Strikeforce, and TUF bum.

Am I doing this right? Lol.

He's in the top 30 lightweight of all time.
and top 200 at 170 maybe.

With good style match ups he can be effective like a michael johnson or barboza but that's pretty much it.

Chandlers HGH gut takes Canars coke rage to suplex city.

Seriously.. One of the best callout/promos I’ve ever seen from a UFC fighter. I don’t watch it anymore but that was as good as anything I’ve ever heard a pro wrestler say way back in the day.

That in octagon interview is your high profile chance to call somebody out. The guy doing the interview always gives the fighter a chance.. Who would you like to fight next?

Golly gee, I’m just so happy to be here. I’ll fight whomever the UFC wants me to fight.

Just pick a name no matter how crazy it might seem. Make that interview really count. I like quiet and respectful. And nothing Chandler said was disrespectful. That’s how you do it. Rogan had perma grin going on. He loved it.

Not only that.. He called out Oliveira, and Justin too. He made excellent use of that time on the mic.

 

[BlkBeltJones]

Statistically McGregor does well against smaller fighters, which I'm sure gives him some confidence lol (plus all the juice he's been taking). Let's hope it's not another fixed fight like when he fought Cowboy Cerrone

 

[CC27]

Thats gonna be one hell of a fight for the 5-7 minutes it lasts. Much tougher fight for COnor than Tony would have been.

TUF shit whatever, if he's got to sit out 6 months for USADA you might as well use him for TUF.

Sarcasm, my friend.

 

[Shilajit]

Who said this was a top level fight? Seriously, who? And yes, we know you hate the UFC so I'm certain you're not looking at this straight.

Its a top level fight in my heart

I find it fascinating that so many people have forgotten that Conor looked terrible in his last fight, then snapped his leg in half, then gained like 40lbs, is an alcoholic and coke fiend and will definitely have some ring rust.

So many fans talk about him like it’s still 2015 lol.

 

[dipstickjimmy]

That 175lb weight class would have been perfect for Hendricks, Gastellum, etc.

I think Hendricks not so much. He even missed weight at 185.

 

[witt1021]

chandlers dumbass will stand and bang with mcgregor. its what he does. even tho a high school state champion wrestler would hold down mcgregor, chandler still wont utilize takedowns. mcgregor by knockout.

 

[OldCasualBoxer]

Its a great fight, and a dangerous one for Conor, Kudos to him for accepting the fight, i was expecting him to fight Tony.

Even though Chandler is the "easiest fight" of the ranked opponents, he's still very powerful and dangerous, and has a lot of tools to beat Conor, even KO him.
He's not very bright fight wise, so it will be a brawl, which favors Conor.

Nevertheless, IMO Chandler will take it, he's too strong, he's been very active and seems to live a healthy lifestyle, basically eating, resting and training.

I find it fascinating that so many people have forgotten that Conor looked terrible in his last fight, then snapped his leg in half, then gained like 40lbs, is an alcoholic and coke fiend and will definitely have some ring rust.

IMO, this will be the decisive factor, in one hand you have a very active fighter, and in the other a part-time fighter.

 

[Doughie99]

So Chandler gets more fun fights and holds up the division?
This is terrible.

i'd be *extremely* surprised if this fight happens at any other weight than 170lbs.

McG ain't ever making 155lbs again without a long caloric restriction and he won't do it.

 

[StonedLemur]

@Clementine you see this shit?

Looks like we got little gas tank vs little gas tank kiddo lol.

 

[FreedomCricket]

So Chandler gets more fun fights and holds up the division?
This is terrible.

How is he holding up the division. He's fighting an unranked Connor. The LW division is being held up by Volk vs Islam.

Then dariush/Charles winner will get the next title shot and the loser probably gets gaycheese/fizev winner

 

[613]

Chandlers lunging in style is perfect for Conor. But Conor gets worse the bigger he gets. So who knows
