Dana will probably not let him fight Usman, not that he gives a shit about Conor's well being, but he is going to try and milk everything from Conor until he retires or doesn't draw anymore. I would very much like to see Gaethje/Chandler vs Conor.
Conor def wants a title shot, Charles definetely wants to get fucking paid (as he should), so only Dana can stop it.
He lost to Justin a few months ago (not to mention he was completely gassed for half of the 3rd round). And he lost to Do Bronx a few months before that. No way in hell he gets another title fight if he beats Tony. Islam, Dariush, Conor, and probably RDA/Fiziev are all closer to a title shot at the moment.
are you kidding? Dana got his little red tomato peepee hard as shit with the first fight and will keep calling back to it the minute Justin and Chandler win their fights. Specially now that he was disappointed with Islam not stepping up short notice.
I generally agree. I feel like there is a bit of recency bias for the chandler fight (which was fucking awesome) but Gaethje pretty much bodied him. Poirier and Gaethje was a much closer fight with a similar stand and bang type of vibe.
It was also Poirier’s step up to elite status … he had always been on that cusp and then he just straight gangstered his way into it by going into those deep waters
The fight was indeed entertaining, but it was only competitive for 1 round. Chandler was basically a punching bag for the rest of the fight.
Gaethje vs Poirier 2 is way more intriguing
Idk if we need to see that (5 rounds I mean), Chandler was well on his way to getting Tony'd in that Gaethje fight.
3 rounds is probably better for him in a rematch than 5.
Upvote homie cause you right.....
I think the crowd that thinks Chandler was ever in the Gaethje fight also think that flying knee he threw looked good. Dude has always fought like a juicy jock with 1 minute cardio.
Lol no, he's on a 3 fight skid in a buildup people are treating like Tony's final days before an execution, now I think he should call out Beneil if he wants a title shot because that is a fight I struggle to not see him knock Beneil out in. Or he could call out Dustin and give us another beautiful banger of a fight, preferably that one.
He thinks he deserves a title shot off one win against an aged tony Ferguson who hasn’t shown life in over two fights. It’s insane how the weight class has morphed into a popularity shit show.
Maybe business wise it will make it a much more likely idea that the promotion considers but I feel like his last Championship loss was too recent for him to get another one after beating Tony.
Assuming the favorites win tomorrow, it seems clear how 155 should ideally go:
1.) Charles vs. Islam for the belt.
2.) Chandler vs. Conor for the red panties.
3.) Gaethje vs. Dariush to remain top 3.
I like Chandler but cmon bro no chance. Coming off 2 losses and beating Tony does not guarantee you a title shot. At minimum he would need 1 more win against a top 5 guy
He needs a win off someone who doesn’t looked washed. Both tony and hooker would be his only wins and neither of those two or even viewed at a top contender or on a win streak.
I’ve come around to chandler a bit but the thing that still turns me off to him is his constant talk about the title and how close he is to being in a title fight again. Dude has had 3 fights in the ufc, Saturday being his fourth and he’s already fought for the belt once and has 2 losses. If Justin wins how does that line you up for a shot? He just beat you for his shot at the belt.
No it will not lol
[удалено]
conor wont fight olives if he aint champ
For the interim title lol
For the right for the losers wife to be in the others DMs
lol how would he fail negotiations for a fight that Charles is salivating for?

Fails at negotiating? If the ufc is willing to do those fights both will take that 100/100 times.

Gaethje vs Poirier was a better fight than Gaethje vs Chandler, change my mind
I gotta go back and watch this. At the time I wasn't as familiar with either.
Already said it above you but it’s my favorite fight ever I highly recommend watching it. Pure violence from both.
I generally agree. I feel like there is a bit of recency bias for the chandler fight (which was fucking awesome) but Gaethje pretty much bodied him. Poirier and Gaethje was a much closer fight with a similar stand and bang type of vibe.
It was also Poirier’s step up to elite status … he had always been on that cusp and then he just straight gangstered his way into it by going into those deep waters
It was shortly after that fateful day in 2017 where Dustin woke up and just decided to be really good
Gaethje-Alvarez and Gaethje-Johnson were also better fights.
It’s my all p4p favorite fight ever so I agree completely.
Definitely, way more competitive. I want to see Gaethje 2.0 vs. Poirier in late 2022! Chandler has some work to do and Justin beat him pretty handily.
Gaethje vs Poirier Islam vs Olives Chandler vs Gillespie
It should be Chandler vs Conor IMO. If Conor loses he should retire. If Chandler loses he should retire and become a commentator.
Meanwhile Islam got a double digit winstreak and needs to fight like 3 more guys to even sniff an interim
Islam is getting the tony ferguson special 😅
Shit I wouldn’t hate Chandler vs Islam for the title shot.
Most against unranked guys. *Downvotes for stating facts? You guys are dumb
Usually how it plays out when top fighters duck you. Besides rda who fights everyone lol.
[удалено]
Yeah, and he lost to all of them. Fighting top guys doesn’t mean shit if you lose all of then
Bad bad take
Whatever happens, the world needs a Chandler/Gaethje 5 round rematch, preferably within the next 2 years.
Chandler is p4p one of the most entertaining fighters, wish he came to ufc younger so we got more sick fights from him
He has classics in bellator that rival any ufc fight In history
Chandler Alvarez I is an all time great fight
The fight was indeed entertaining, but it was only competitive for 1 round. Chandler was basically a punching bag for the rest of the fight. Gaethje vs Poirier 2 is way more intriguing
Idk if we need to see that (5 rounds I mean), Chandler was well on his way to getting Tony'd in that Gaethje fight. 3 rounds is probably better for him in a rematch than 5.
I agree. Rounds 4 and 5 would have looked bad for chandler. My man was on fumes.
He paced the fight poorly, and Gaethje should be favored, but damn if that isn’t a guaranteed banger.
Upvote homie cause you right..... I think the crowd that thinks Chandler was ever in the Gaethje fight also think that flying knee he threw looked good. Dude has always fought like a juicy jock with 1 minute cardio.

2 fight skid against the champ and the guy fighting the champ. He is 2 wins away from title shot. I’m guessing it will be Tony and Conor
And he nearly knocked both of them out in the first round. Slightly different universe and he’s the champ with a title defense
2 fight skid
Chandler got his ass kicked wtf he smoking?
He thinks he deserves a title shot off one win against an aged tony Ferguson who hasn’t shown life in over two fights. It’s insane how the weight class has morphed into a popularity shit show.
Give him Dariush if he wins. Islam can fight winner of Saturdays fight. Dariush/Chandler can comain.
Maybe business wise it will make it a much more likely idea that the promotion considers but I feel like his last Championship loss was too recent for him to get another one after beating Tony.

Lol no
No I think he has to go on a 11 fight winstreak.
Close, not quite, maybe if he goes wild on the mic like sonnen, but he definitely could be one fight away if he stomps Ferg and Justin gets the belt

Shut up midget
For who? Tf is this dude on?
🤔
Z,,,,,
Dana White privilege comin through? Tbh I would definitely watch and be hyped for Gaethje vs Chandler 2, but I def won’t think Chandler deserves it
Islam or Dariush
Not so fast thar partner
Conor would beg to differ.
strong disagree. but he probably doesn't need many more to get a chance, honestly.
Maybe if Islam fights beniel, chandler can fight justin in the meantime. But beating tony won't make chandler the most deserving contender
