Didn’t even have to step in the cage with him and he pretty much ended his career by keeping him on the pine.
Chandler looked old and not even as in shape as we used to him in. He spent what was left of his prime sitting on the bench waiting for Conor.
Yea he clipped Chaz throwing some eye closed haymakers but My boy Chaz looked like a completely different level thank Mike. Chaz is a fucking monster!
I was thinking the same thing.
Conor lives in that mans head and will forever be known as the guy that beat him without ever having to stand in front of him.
He looked noticeably less explosive, threw single power shots, had no explosiveness on the ground, gave up his back repeatedly and was almost efortlessly dragged to the ground on 2 occasions. Olivera even landed a takedown from WAY outside range.
That was embarrassing! I remember my mom giving me hugs less intense than thi shit!
Chandler was always mid.
Chandler was perfectly happy getting beat pillar to post for 4/5 rounds just to call out Conor again
Word. And the meathead slams to rile up the crowd was good enough for him.
His whole America Fuck Yea! I lost but tried stuff was lame. He even said Conor come back and beat me…before realizing it and adding “if you can”
Chandler is exciting AF win or lose he is must see TV and unlike Conor doesn’t give up
This, explosive exciting fighter with power but he never had the kind of skillset that would have allowed him to have held a belt for any meaningful amount of time.
It’s weird because in the recent photoshoot he looked incredible visually.
But in the fight he looked like he forgot to wrestle, slidey on his feet and not in the same kind of cardio shape.
He got the TKO’d by the same guy in 2020.
Decision’d by Justin then submitted by Dustin in 2021.
Not like he was a world beater. The reason he was given the Conor fight is the UFC wanted Conor to win a fight.
Everyone looks like shit against Olives. You can clip him but no one outskills him
Ring rust is real
King Charles a dead calm assassin in there 
No can defend
Chandler is a very exciting fighter, but he is also pushing 40 years old and has been in some absolute wars.
In fact, it was almost 13 years ago to the day that he had that insane fight with Eddie Alvarez in Bellator the same night we got Hendo/Shogun I
Tons of mileage and he’s been sidelined for the past 2 years chasing after the Conor fight which may never even happen, and IMO the UFC was bullish on this fight to begin with because they were confident Conor would win.
All of this.
You guys are underestimating just how fucking good Charles Oliviera is. Chandler came game as fuck last night.
I’ll watch Chandler fight anytime. Big fan.
Chandler has always been overrated, it’s because he’s somewhat always dangerous because of power, but it rarely gets him a win in a fight where he’s getting demolished.
The fact that he went life and death with Eddie Alvarez at any point, shows that his potential has always been lower than what people think. He gets put on a higher pedestal because he goes for it, and this tricks people into thinking he’s a world beater, when he clearly is not. There’s a lot of exciting fighters who were known more for being exciting than being at the top, and somehow Chandler gets placed in the “at the top” group, and not where he belongs.
His only two UFC wins are Dan Hooker, who’s a mid tier guy at 155, and the ghost of Ferguson’s
Shadow, who could not even win a regional show at the time they fought.
