Chandler ate Gaethje & Poirier's best shots & never got put out. Poirier hurt him badly at the end of round 1 but couldn't put him away. Conor will be dangerous in theory but I have no idea after 3 more years of surgeries & coke binges.
Stylistically the old Conor would have won this fight, and that's what's going to be most sad for his biggest supporters. He's a live dog in round 1 & will probably land some shots but I think Chandler will chew up his leg & wrestle him early. Late rd 1 or round 2 tko.
Wouldn't mind seeing Conor win again though, because I know they UFC won't be putting him in a title fight with only 1 fighters on his deal. I'm excited for his return, could be his last.
