News Dana White announces Conor McGregor vs Michael Chandler as TUF coaches, will fight after

[Substance Abuse]

Chandler is the #5 LW vs unranked Conor, and the fight may end up being at 170. What's the problem?

There is no problem. Haters gonna hate.

Chandler is a mile away from a title shot and looking for money fights. Conor is a money fight. It'll probably result in an incredibly exciting fight. Why not make it?

I just hope Conor doesn't go overboard with the smack about Chandler's family like he did Poirier. That shit was terrible.

 

[Xanzito]

I really think Conor had a shot against Ferguson. But i don't see him winning against Chandler

 

[Crash-override]

Fun fights for them not for the fans

What are you talking about? Both these guys are entertaining in every fight they are in

 

[Substance Abuse]

Still doesnt change the facts i put. The reason they all sound so top level is because all they do is fight each other. So someones gonna get a win.

dustin vs chandler
Dustin vs conor
Dustin vs olives
Dustin vs khabib
Olives vs chandler
Olives vs gaethje
Gaethje vs chandler
Khabib vs gaethje
Conor vs dustin
Khabib vs conor

there are only 6 names in that entire list of fights…1 has been retired since 2020, and the other is conor who as i stated is 1-3 since 2018 and doesnt actually have a win at lightweight since 2016

Spin it how u want, the UFC is selling these boring old names to you even if they have been losing and havent done anything in years, literally YEARS.

Olives and Khabib are boring old names? There's a ton of truly boring fights on that list. Right? Lol.

Who's implying Conor and Chandler are top level? Mike has lost every top level fight he's had. He had success against Olives and Porier for moments but couldn't sustain it.

This fight makes sense for both and Conor still has a lot of fans while Mike has been in nothing but awesome fights since being signed. I don't get why anyone would be upset at this matchup.

Just putting this out there, letting everyone know how these guys aren’t some top level fighters who will probably get a title shot after they win.

UFC is such a joke now.

#boycott UFC

Why is this match up a joke and we should boycott UFC over it? They are on the same path right now, perfect time for a match up, and will bring veiwers and be an exciting fight. What's the downside again here?

 

[ChangeIsComing]

I think Conor makes quick work of Chandler but who knows been awhile since we have seen Conor look good. I dislike the TUF show though...thats just more time off for an aging Conor...maybe this is his last hoorah though.

Didn’t read your little mini story after you first couple sentences contradicted yourself , yes when the top fighters fight each other someone has to lose. You’re sure a smart one

 

[Kos Fan]

Did we know Izzy would return so quickly? No we didn’t.. Conor has been inactive AF and Jones has taken 10 years to move up, now suddenly their fights are announced.. very fishy

Izzy stays active and consistently fights twice a year so it’s not that surprising and Jones has never done Dana any favors. Maybe Dana’s boy Conor helped him out though, you could be right there, but you can easily explain his inactivity on the fact that he snapped his leg and had no reason to rush back.

Who gives a shit.

Man I used to love TUF. It was really interesting to see the day to day training MMA athletes go through and the challenges they face inside and outside the cage. I’ll admit even though it was kinda crass and sometimes just way over the line (the sushi incident was way overboard and dude should have been charged with sexual assault), I did enjoy seeing the tension, drama and rivalry’s that developed in the house. And yes even when scuffles or full on fights broke out. But man the last TUF was unwatchable. Very little training and game planning footage or house views and just like endless sob stories and dudes crying about how much they love and miss their gfs, wives and children. I mean I do empathize with dudes that feel that way being locked in a house away from their families for months but damn does every single episode need to be 70% sob stories and dudes crying. I literally don’t give a fuck about anyones children when I’m watching TUF. i want to see training. I want to see game planning. I want to see tension and rivalry’s and then I want to see a good fight. Hopefully this season will be back to basics.

There was this little thing called COVID. Lots of people took time off. Maybe you should consider it

 

[Jin Akutsu]

Who gives a shit.

You do, enough to post about it.

 

[Bearknuckle]

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

He’s as top a lightweight as any other top lightweight in other orgs. Since thats where he’s from.

UFC got u guys thinking these 2 are the best in the world while their records say otherwise.

It's a fun fight. I doubt it's a #1 contender fight and in all likleyhood the winner of Oliveira Vs Dariush is up next for the belt.

This fight is the UFC giving the fans what they want.

 

[Necrocrawler]

The guys on this thread are insane...

Unless there's a hidden rule for chandler where he wins big money If he decides to stand and Bang, he will probably wrestlefuck him to a decision...

Chandler was having difficulties with Poirier's striking... So i see no reason for him to risk this bout to be a striking war

For the last... Wasnt Ferguson supposed to headline tuf against Conor?

 

[ncboy]

And you'll still be watching

nope, gonna skip

 

[GrantB13]

Man, first Jones is never coming back and comes back, then Conor is never coming back and comes back. I'm not even an active fan of either but lol now what the conspirators say?

 

[Mesos]

Chandlers to well behaved, doubt Gooby will be able to get under his skin.

Hopefully its a good TUF season but I doubt it they been shit for a while. They should TUF Latin American and TUF Brazil those where funner.

Noone thinks Conor and Chandler are the two best lightweights in the world.

 

[Jake the Muss]

Knowing the UFC and their tactics of stacking promotional weight against fighters, I wouldn’t be surprised if this fight was for an interim or actual title after the organization had an convenient falling out with Islam.
