#UFC #UFC284 - Спорт
I like seeing Mike fight, but the UFC definetly NEEDS him for media coverage after he retires.
Mike will have a good long media career with the UFC when his fighting career is over.
agreed
Two black sons 😂😂
I honestly think he could've been a champ or a least one of the best in the division if he fought smarter against justin and dustin. But then again being entertaining is what got him this mcgregor fight
He a good fighter and a good guy, deserves to get a good job after fighting
I'm always impressed with how articulate, on-point and thoughtful Chandler is despite him having been hit in the head thousands of times.
overeems the GOAT of that realm
@@chrishayes5755 LMFAO
Unfortunately his predictions are basically always wrong.
exactly this!
DANA will use chandler to dismiss CTE talks
Michael Chandler is as well spoken as Dominick Cruz, but he actually has empathy and social awareness. Chandler is legit the best on the mic out of all fighters.
They both fake but Chandler is better
I like how Dom is kind of an evil villian.
Delusional
Chandler isn't nearly as smart as Cruz
The guy who fish hooked and spit blood in the face of porier ? Okay
He did this for MMA On Point when he first joined the UFC. Crazy how different the rankings look now compared to then
Ohh yeah I remember!
So true man!
Tony...
All new top dogs except for justin and dustin.
Yeah really man shit....very true.
LW is absolutely stacked up with many scary talents
Mike cuck chandler
Wtf is that weird name you have? Enchantment table name😂
@@akritasdigenis4831 bro thinks English is the only language in the world..
@@akritasdigenis4831 you should pay attention to different languages, a lot of the stuff that’s been written in other languages is really poetic and intriguing.
@@akritasdigenis4831 ironic.... talking about a weird name...
Always enjoy Mike Chandler’s fight breakdown, so much knowledge of the fight game, he’s going to be a great analyst when he retires 👏👏👏👏
Like uncle chael
Didn't he already retire to become an analyst after he got called out by Makhachev?
He has the lowest fight IQ in LW division
I forgot that Dober KO'd Bobby Green, that was a killer finish.
If it was a killer finish how could you forget it 😏mideocra comment and name..
Lollll it was only 2 months ago!!!!!
couldn't happen to a more deserving guy
@@johno30197 alright "Johno 808"
How could you forget that...
Love Chandler's analysis of things and such.
Mike Cuckler
Chandler has always been the most explosive and exciting fighter in MMA. Chandler is also just as fun to listen to when he is comentating, he is honest and articulate while covering fights.
Michael Chandler is so much Respectful guy I love him... I never missed his fight in ufc
Absolutely love Chandler's grown respect for Oliveira. How he went from, like everyone, wondering about the old 'quitter' Oliveira before their fight, to appreciating him as a killer champion and advocating for him when he was consistently put as the underdog, despite obviously chasing a rematch with him.
he will never be champ in lightweight again thats for sure
Chandler vs McGregor is gonna be cold.
just say the word. Because most people have no idea what that emoji is
@@monkeyx17 cool?
It’s gonna be freezing
@@BreadCrispy no, cold.
@@BreadCrispy baltic
if mike could just slow things down by like 4 percent the amount of damage he would inflect versus recieving would change by like 80 percent
You think he doesn't know that you bum? He has professional coaches and you think he needs the advice of a bum on youtube?
It's always so funny when a bum is trying to give advice to a professional athlete
@@akritasdigenis4831 always funny when a bum tries to call someone a bum for saying their opinion about a sport
@@akritasdigenis4831 he isn't wrong though... It's always funny when a bum tries to call someone else 😂
Fighting at 170 will be the most telling. If he has gas for days then we know the weight cut is what’s causing his stamina issues.
Grant Dawson is seriously underrated. Dudes name never gets mentioned despite him being undefeated.
He could also end up like Brady. You never know. But I'm very interested in his potential
@jabron destoroyah Yeah. But it was a bad loss. He got melted by the striking pressure of a fairly one dimensional striker in Belal.
If it was a flash KO or a technical sub, I'd understand.
@@1994mrmysteryman True, but let’s see how he bounces back, he’s got another tough fight ahead of him.
@@kundalsingh1562 who’s he fighting next?
@@PERKIODURKIO michel perreria
Chandler truly has a great future in the UFC analysts/commentary team when he retires
he looks like he knows all the fighters in mma, but when someone calls him he's like "i don't know him"
and he did not give a lot of credit to Arman Tsaryukan
@@aldomauricioable How can he be ? Arman lost to Gamrot in wrestling exchanges and who interns manhandled by Darush. Lol
@@Dare-Knight bro, Gamrot barely beat Arman and for a lot of mma analyst he did not lose to Gamrot. Anyway Arman would destroy Chandler.
@@user-db8ro8ck5e He took Dustin on his solder and dumped him whenever he wanted. He just rushed and get caught in submission because he took too much damage. And as far as Justin goes he shot when he was already exhausted from the strike and still able to lift Justin. He was not a nuthugger boring wrestler which is why he relied on his striking instead of making fights a boring hug fest. His takedowns are also explosive and not leg-humping. And Chandler is old, around 37. How many 37 years old wrestlers have you seen competing at the highest level? Khabib quit at only 32. Lol
@@aldomauricioable I am talking about wrestling exchanges. Gamerot beat Arman in almost every wrestling exchange. I doubt Arman can even beat any top 7 guys. These are all hypes. And Chandler is 37 years old. Show some respect for his commitment. He is still fighting where people like Khabib quit at the age of 32. Lol
Chandler should do more of this , breakdown all the weight class divisions , i enjoyed it
Absolutely
UFC do more of these kinds of videos, they're really entertaining!
It's tough for me to imagine why someone wouldn't like Chandler. Seems like an awesome guy to me
His obvious fouls in the fight vs Poirier, and his unapologetic behavior after rubbed people the wrong way. Which I understand.
Chandler breaks down the lightweight division, the lightweight division breaks down Chandler.🤣
I can't believe mioicano made 145. He's a big guy
yeah, Hooker also
Charles was almost killing himself to get to 145
@@AndreiLucaawe saw how it turned out for hooker
@@joooanit0224 so was Conor but he was actually winning
@@bendover7841 u so damn annoying
How can somebody not like Mike? Gladiator inside the cage, and good man on the outside. And gave respect to his opponents that beat him previously.
He was dirty in the Poirier fight
i think chandler could be a dc type later on. he speaks fluently, rarely ever spews venom, and honestly has a great mind
oh yea, i'm sure he will when he retires.
Michael Chandler's personality and his style of fighting couldn't be any more different. Hes like that pit bull that just snuggles with everyone
There is SO MUCH talent in the LW division. Excited to see what Jalen can do. Hope he stays busy this year. He has potential like Jamahal....
Solid video, Iron Mike, Love seeing you fight, love seeing you comment and narrate MMA for us. Keep it going.
Really good editing and a good job by the people that put this video together
Thank you for this video Michael Chandler and UFC :)
You're keeping up to date.
UFC got it....i have been fan of MC since 2011 when he just started mma...and i was always like this guy is special...the way he narrated the whole division, it was fabulous. The guy is a great speaker and fighter...lots of love and respect to MC
Not a star fighter himself so the ufc put him in a spot to promote others. Literal joke lmfao
Mind of a champion. Building hype and respect for his division.
Man the UFC really should make more of these videos. The “State of the X division” especially are excellent. Great job by Chandler.
5:59 lol props to the editing team for sneaking and cutting out that brutal headbutt that initiated Chandler's striking exchange. lol really puts a damper on the whole exchange, but you managed to cut it out. Good Job!
Chandler should be the last person doing breakdown with the lowest fight IQ in the division rn 😂😂 2-3 in the ufc and thinks he’s the best wrestler in the division when he barely wrestle other than looking for one punch ko throughout a fight a even struggles in a 3 round bouts
this entire take is low iq bro
Title should be "The guys I duck to get red panty."
Mike Chandler - Dana White Privilege
What an honest assessment… it’s too bad his skill set isn’t going to get him to a champ status… his attitude deserves it…
I like Mike! Much respect for the fun fights 🤙🏻
This guy like never stutters. Could listen to him all day.
Lol he stuttered right when I read this
Um
The way he compared RDA to an old boot killed me. I love Dos Anjos, but I kind of can't believe he's still out there.
Great video, we love mike
Ok Michael, i’m a fan of you now. Especially breaking down and praising Dan Hooker and not mentioning beating him in your debut. Massive respect 👍
Beat the shit out of hooker LoL
Excellent input… SEE YOU AT THE TOP
Michael Chandler is so well spoken. I hope he becomes an analyst/ commentator for the UFC one day
How the heck does this guy get so much media attention from the UFC? UFC's golden boy....!
Well he’s fighting Conor. Pretty big deal
Dana white privilege
He’s an entertaining fighter, he’s extremely well spoken, he’s got the look and can breakdown fights very well for the casual audience to understand.
Well besides being a crowd pleaser, and a well spoken guy overall, they've paid alot of money for him so they're going to get every inch of promotion they can out of it
Because he had KO of the year on Ferguson in 2022 little goof
I really love how respectful he is
Chandler is such a great analyst man, after retirement, i want to see him as the official analyst man ❤️✨
From 15-1 this Weight class is truly the Best in the UFC 🔥🙏🏾
Michael Chandler is very good to speak. He is very good at articulate, and he seems to have a great personality.
Love to see Chandler compete, but he's even in Media contents. UFC don't let him go when he retires, give him a mic.
Nicely put..
I like chandler and am grateful for him being a super exciting fighter. But he’s also proven to be a guy who will blow his bloody nose on you (maybe took a cue from Rockhold), fishhook you to get a choke, and then 100% deny it. So well polished, exciting, and skilled… but also someone whom I suspect plays the game and may value outcomes over honor.
He is a wrestler
Why is he breaking down anything? This man has terrible fight IQ and is wrong with almost any prediction he has made
His actual analyses are good though
@@eoghain5021 good talking doesn’t mean you know anything about fighting!
@@fafahamudi dude how are you gonna say he doesn't know anything about fighting lmao. the dude purposefully fights like an idiot to put on exciting fights. he's admitted this. he knows plenty about fighting
The mans been fighting for years, of course he knows what he’s talking about. He’s well spoken too so he makes for a pretty decent analyst
@@alexdelsocorro781 people just don't like chandler because he's the ufcs golden boy. he's no dan hardy but he's a decent analyst and good enough to go into commentary when he's finished fighting most likely
The lightweight division is absolutely stacked! The amount of talent is enough to compete with at least 2-3 other weight classes
I like this. More like this. Sit down with the guys and tell more stories UFC. Thanks.
Someone needs to create a cartoon of Michael Chandler bouncing around the ring doing backflips repetitively.. 😂
chandler's the man, real class act, and win or lose his fights are always can't miss television, he brings the heat
Except when he tried to cheat when he’s losing but yeah sure. Class
Chandler has achieved a lot been a champ at bellator and i wouldn't be mad if he don't fight for the title he is already going to get out of his prime. He doesn't need to prove anything to anyone. And i can hear him speak all day he is such a well spoken. Glad he is getting that money fight with conor because deserves it 👍
@@trentonuab People either aren't real fans of the sport, or they have absolute dogshit memory. Regardless Chandler is a dirty mother.
Moises, Dober, Hooker, Arman n Oliviera...the current LW champs resume was somebody in Top 15, they probably not popular as other but belong in Top 15 in the most stack division is something huge ...
Tiene mucho corazón, es todo un guerrero 👍
Arman vs Jalin is a great fight that came to mind while watching this
In my opinion Arman will do the same to Jalin as he did to Joel
@@henryjacobs4478 are you sure, Jalin is on a 5 fight win streak, all finishes. He’s very good with striking and grappling
I met Jalen Turner in LA and couldn’t believe that guy fights at 155 he is a big dude
Please more of that
I fucking love that dude. He's real and very self-aware of his position. He loves mma and you can tell.
Fun fact, Rafael Fiziv way before Islam was champion said that he didn't care about the belt, he just wanted to fight Islam.
I see Mike in the commentry in near future 💯
lightweight division is the scariest division by a long shot. kinda erks me that chandler got a straight shot to the top 5 and skipped out on fighting a lot of scary dudes that arent even ranked.
what slows down after 1 round and name ends with Handler?
Petition to have chandler on commentary, guy is so well spoken and knows the game
Mike makes a great commentator to my greatest surprise… Whatever you may think of him as a fighter, this deserves tons of respect, he won’t ever be unemployed)
That Dariush spinning elbow KO is so fucken bad ass
Mike should be a commentator or media guy after he retirees he’s very intellectual and good at the mic
Chandler is definitely bringing a Pantone color book next time he goes to the orphanage to adopt a kid
nice breakdown thx
The legend! ✊
Micheal Chandler will definitely go down in the UFC hall of fame, would love to see him commentate more when he retires like DC
Keep doing these ones UFC. It's interesting to hear what fighters think about other fighters in their division.
Keep bringing people that is like Chandler that aint talking bad on fighters because of rivarly even if i dont think he has any because hes a good guy.
Instead he is praising the guys in his division. I dont care if he got two wins of five. Hes been close as hell to win those other three fight.
Chandler can beat everyone in that division, he just need to be more effective when he throw the bombs.
Really eager to see the new dogs take down these who are holding the division up. Kudos for Gaethje for taking on Fiziev, makes me respect him more!
This is a badass breakdown! Never realized how dense this division is 😦
If you’re new, yes lightweight is stacked and so is bantamweight. Tons of badass fighters and matchups
If you’re not new, get your head out of the sand
@Danny average mma gatekeeper
@@yuser10 whatever makes you feel better kid
Man Michael Chandler is the best analyst and commentator, UFC give this man a chance!!!!
Chandler is going to finish his career some day knowing he did it all, fought for a title, fotn or potn bonuses, Tuf coach and a future commentator/analyst. Love him or hate him he found his home in the UFC.
I used to think Chandler was corny. But then I saw him fight and after listening to him enough times I realized he's really that proper and well adjusted
Chandler born to be a comentators, he is not like a fighters
Moises, Arman,Gamrot, Fiziev,Darius is a group of guys i die to avoid... - Michael Chandler
I met Jalin Turner before his UFC debut. Bought a couple tarantulas off of him. I'm so proud to see him in the top 10 already, he climbed so fast
Life is so, so much better with the UFC
So much respect to Chandler..but truly the current top five won't last with the new gen coming in. Arman, beneil, gamrot and the champ are the true top lws w.r.t skill for skill. I didn't add fiziev as the way he fought with Bobby and also his loss to mustafaev..
LW div the best in combat history.. 🙏🙏
Beniel the new gen? Haha he's old as Chandler
Paddy the Baddy goat
@@micahbodha6129 i had this opinion too up until I saw the fight he had with gamrot. Technically he is not worn out like the current top five who are brawlers wsp. Porier, fiziev, Chandler or Oliveira. Technically the new gen I meant w.r.t skillset only..
@@micahbodha6129 Chandler is 37 . WTf are you talking about ? Lol
omg.. that kick from chandler at that angle!
I really hope UFC is setting Mike to be next fighter-commentator.
Drinking game: take a shot everytime Chandler says "strings together" or "strength of schedule"
Chandler jus may have been one of the best investments by the UFC. I know it's rare for the UFC to sign a fighter in his 30s, even more rare, a fighter in his 30s coming from bellator. Happy cuz the fans win in the end
chandler vs dober would lowkey be a sick fight
Hmmm true!!
I'd love to see Chandler vs Dober that's a fun fight
Good God we gonna rock down to electric avenue
And then we'll take it higher
Oh we gonna rock down to electric avenue
And then we'll take it higher
RDA is a staple of the lightweight division. That man will never be out of the top 10 until he retires
Man I just hope that we gone see chandler after he retires at the comentator mic
Michael Chandler is such a pro....He would make an awesome analyst once Hes done with his super fun and epic career in MMA
Mike has a future in broadcast
Chandler laying the platform for an analyst position post UFC fighting career I see
match up chandler vs conor is a good for mma fan.,interesting fact is they have same streak...one of them finally will get W.,i'm very happy for both of them
Makes no sense how RDA literally said him self he doesn’t want to fight at 55 no more hence why he moved divisions, yet is still ranked at LW.
Hope the UFC booked Thiago Moises vs Guram Kutateladze again, btw, Chandler's always class act
