I like this type of Chandler. Calm, humble and realistic. Not putting himself above anybody else, neither degrading himself, as it should be. Confident, without a feel of being fake. Of this MIchael, I am a fan, because he seems like good dude.
@@alanherrera9707 True but I'm sure there are some fighters who would benefit from the extra 2 rounds to try and win the fight. Let's say a debuting fighter just has a slow 2 rounds and then wakes up and takes the 3rd and looks comfortable to win the next 2 if it was a 5 round fight, but because it's only 3 rounds and he lost the first 2 he loses the fight and doesn't get to progress.
@@stephengeorge7994 Ahh nahh, I meant the hate he's getting for going straight to a top 6 fight. When Gaethje debuted against Michael Johnson who was also #6.
@@thediamond322 that don't make him a casual just difference of opinion in my opinion there the 3 goats khabib just needs a few more title defenses to get number 1 for me
Watched a few interviews with Chandler and I think I’m becoming a fan of this guy. He seems like an honest person and if he backs this up with an amaizing UFC carrier he will be the new star in the firm. I wish him well. (Unfortunately Hard to pick between Dan and him.)Good luck to both on Saturday
I’d recommend anyone who hasn’t seen Chandler fight before to go back and watch his war against Eddie Alvarez in Bellator - the perfect intro into how much of a beast he is
I watched Chandler's fights only against Eddie Alvarez. They were very impressive. Plus, it was around 2011-2013 and Eddie was in his prime, he was a beast, yet Chandler beat him. We'll see how good he does against Hangman
Gaethje said himself, that whilst he started as a wrestler, he wants to strike as an entertainer. He even said that he didn't want to spend time with Khabib on the ground. Chandler wants that ground game though.
The whole "elite level wrestling" talking point about gaejthe was a complete joke. Hes notba wrestler. Not in mma. Wrestling in mma is not the same. His wrestling and ground game were worse than conors even worse than dustins. Justin was never not getting choked out
I didn’t know anything about this guy before he joined UFC, but I’m already a fan without seeing his fights. He will do just fine, in or out of the cage. I see UFC commentating in his future.
Thats is like a great interview guide, it´s not just get the quote, pull out the cheap trash talk, its the oportunity understend the game better, got new ideas about live overal, great show. Thanks!!
Agreed. Sadly ESPN is a sports network that are now obliged to cover MMA, these BT sports guys LOVE the sport and are such professionals - not drama merchants.
@@phillipedwardness9591 couldn’t agree more, BT have recruited so well... the three of them all love the sport no bias not looking for clickbait just genuine chats down the pub... levels above any content out there I’d love them to do an embedded style vlog as well.
He has champion mentality. There''s nothing wrong with build our own confidence tho. Goodluck for him. When Khabib said he's eyeing on co main card, he seems targetting Chandler.
I like Mike, and I sorta want him to win. And I never pick sides, just spectate the sport, but the idea of having somewhat of a “spanner” thrown in the works is interesting.
Really like chandler. Nice guy, didn't like him in the beginning because he got to the top in ufc without doing anything. But he is actually a nice guy and I'm looking forward to his next fight. Maybe he will shock us all and khabib and chandler will be the next fight
BT sports are smashing out the quality interviews
And ur stealing all the quality comments
@@SamboBreakdown how he's stating a fact?
@@pearcegolding3544 ok 1 + 1 = 2
good all..
Wait, why does everyone hate on the guy? He's respectful, humble and clearly very intelligent. I like this lad
His first fight's against a top 10 guy. Fighters joining the company get to fight a top 10 guy after 2 years atleast. Obviously it's not earned
I guess people being people and forming an opinion before they know someone. Because he’s such a good dude. I really hope he does well.
Casual MMA fans are stupid, they don't rate him because he hasn't fought in the UFC. Also he reckons he should be ranked #4 with 1 UFC win.
He’s not UFC and wants to skip the line
@@phillipedwardness9591 He's a good dude man, no doubt. But it looks like he's been given an advantage

Man chandler must have done bout 100 interviews in a week now.
Before even stepping in the octagon on the biggest PPV of his life!
Idk why everybody be hating on him smh mans cool af.
good guy but fake and scripted for sure
@@dogwater290 dude is just professional
No ones hating on Chandler lmao
he gets very little hate dude
@@dogwater290 what?
Fantastic interview. Michael Chandler seems like a top dude outside of the ring 👏
He seems like I really nice dude, very humble and just chilled out.
For the ppv's I wish the UFC would schedule non-title co-main events for 5 rounds
Well if they paid them more for sure, but I dont think they benefit for doing that if they are paid the same for a posible longer beating

@@shak9558 ye but then the fighter who gasses out has a disadvantage plus it’s a toll on their body
Chandler is such a well spoken guy, so articulate with his words. Type of guy who'd nail a job interview lol
Chandler is a beast wouldn't underestimate him or write him off.
A beast in the b league
@@topgmotiv8tion I'm sure he'd be in top15 in the UFC, but I just can't see him winning the belt, or the fight on this Saturday.
We'll soon find out if he's the real deal.
Yeah 💯 foreal....foreal he's abitch.....
Yeh but we’re all here for JOJO, not chandler or conor. Lets goooo
Michael “i’m a title guy” Chandler
"I'm a little guy" as well😁
Nick could barely contain himself when he mentioned his tournament hahah
I just don’t know why so much hate on this guy. I think he’s being real
Maybe he talk to much before fight in UFC , if he can prove to anyone After fight in UFC maybe he can be loved
@@azkahaidar3115 They interview him....and he answers qiestions...I know its a hard concept to grasp.
@@fvgc454ss yes,everyone is not the same in understanding
I really like Chandler and what he is saying about wrestling.
Division keeps getting more stacked
Really like the dude..if he losses i hope its a close one
like chandler, what a real and genuine guy.
"155 the official weight for Michael Chandler."

Chandler low-key throwing shade at snoozeman in regards to boring wrestlers giving wrestlers a bad name 😂
Chandler possibly most well spoken fighter in the UFC
He’s the new chael minus the trash talk
I respect the fact Chandlet calls him the LW GOAT.
“Tony is out of the picture” don’t say that😢
sad but its true
It’s the truth mate
As a Tony fan there’s no way he can come back from those 2 loses
Everyone writing him off, when the EXACT same thing happened with Gaethje during his debut. Bunch of clowns
What. Betting odds are damn near even my guy. Ppl have no idea whats gonna happen
@@stephengeorge7994 Ahh nahh, I meant the hate he's getting for going straight to a top 6 fight. When Gaethje debuted against Michael Johnson who was also #6.
CHANDLER WON
@@erccool i made a last minute bet on the guy hahaha helll yeahh
Never seen him fight. Very excited to see his debut. I said the same for Ben Askren, but let's hope he has a bit better of a time.
😹😹
He will do better has been fighting better competition that Ben
Of course u haven't seen him fight like all the rest of the casuals.
Not a delusional guy. Very Smart he is. Soon to be a part of the broadcast i would predict.
Micheal chandler is a gentleman
BT have the best interviewers
Whats not to like about this guy? People throwing shade at him because he came from Bellator. 🤷
hes a good guy , u can just tell hes really scripted
"throwing shade"
these cringy saying just keep on giving 😬😬😬😬
Genuine humble guy outside of the cage
A real martial artist
Very interested to see how this fight plays out. Watch the knee, Chandler 😉
Just by acknowledging that Khabib is thé goat, Chandler got my respect
Khabib isn't the goat tho. Jones and GSP are
@@cognito8325 ok casual
@@thediamond322 that don't make him a casual just difference of opinion in my opinion there the 3 goats khabib just needs a few more title defenses to get number 1 for me

Soft spoken this guy has won me over lately
This interviewer is one of best i ever seen
he annoys me alot
@@joshyml1 Chandler or the interviewer
@@Vibes-w2y the interviewer something about him especially in other interviews, Chandler seems like a great guy, wish em both all the best though
probably one thing I noticed about chandler is that he's a very smart and disciplined guy
Nick with a great interview this time! This BT Sports UFC media team is one of the best in the sports business
backing the kiwi 🇳🇿 but mike is such a Hespectful guy! love his attitude 😤🤝
I like this guy. Hes ready to bring it, visualizing it. This is how Dustin should be preparing but hes not.
Chandler is level headed and humble for sure. Respect ✊🏻
I can't wait for the press conference tomorrow I feel like they're going to gang up on him.
Michael "I said yes when a lot of guys said no" Chandler.
I'm a fan he seems very wholesome
I’d recommend anyone who hasn’t seen Chandler fight before to go back and watch his war against Eddie Alvarez in Bellator - the perfect intro into how much of a beast he is
Conor dusted Eddie with ease tho
@@bazbead6782 oh yeah he’s ideal for Conor he’d get wetted up in that fight but still a beast
Interviewer is massive, what a unit
Him vs Alvarez on Bellator was an epic fight. One of my favourite. The man can fight and believe me.. It was a war.
Comes across as very genuine and down to earth !! Best of luck Mike go get em !!! 👊🏼
Mike Chandler will shock the world Saturday night 😃🌏
Nick just couldn’t resist mentioning his unofficial official lightweight tournament 🤣🤣
They making it seem Khabib gonna be sitting there like Caesar in the coliseum with the 👍🏻 and 👎🏻.. he’s gonna be in Vegas by Saturday lol
that would be pretty f'in cool though
LOL
Very well spoken guy
Lets go Iron
Top man to be fair. Great interview
I watched Chandler's fights only against Eddie Alvarez. They were very impressive. Plus, it was around 2011-2013 and Eddie was in his prime, he was a beast, yet Chandler beat him.
We'll see how good he does against Hangman
Earlier than the thumbnail itself
Nope, never heard of any large group of people hating on this guy. What’s up with all these “why do people hate this guy?” comments?
The dude trains with the most elite ufc fighters gets them ready for title fights they don't pick random dudes
Khabib did the american wrestling vs dagestani when he steamrolled gaethe
Gaethje said himself, that whilst he started as a wrestler, he wants to strike as an entertainer. He even said that he didn't want to spend time with Khabib on the ground. Chandler wants that ground game though.
Gaethje is a white belt literally ahha
The whole "elite level wrestling" talking point about gaejthe was a complete joke. Hes notba wrestler. Not in mma. Wrestling in mma is not the same. His wrestling and ground game were worse than conors even worse than dustins. Justin was never not getting choked out
Chandler has a very good striking & wrestling combination wrap altogether. Good luck on your UFC debut!
michael 97% chandler
Chandler has some awesome wresting,striking and one hell of a chin. It should be a great fight. Can't wait.
Didn't know mutch about him before this fight week.. And don't know if I do now..
But this man got my attention, real Interesting Calm Guy.
He’s being written off before even throwing a punch in the ufc. So for that I wish him all the best and good luck Micheal.
He shocked the world man.
I didn’t know anything about this guy before he joined UFC, but I’m already a fan without seeing his fights. He will do just fine, in or out of the cage. I see UFC commentating in his future.
So the 55ers have to do something big to "impress" the King... That's the silliest thing I've ever heard...
Itd be insane if chandler somehow beat conor/poirier and Dan then khabib came back and smashed him
It’d be more insane if Dana cut to 155 and beat Khabib for the title, then went backstage and bulked back up to fight Ngannou
@@phillipedwardness9591 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@King SL yeah but it cud happen this year after a single performance cuz khabib is trying to see someone who has skills then he'll give the title shot
Thats is like a great interview guide, it´s not just get the quote, pull out the cheap trash talk, its the oportunity understend the game better, got new ideas about live overal, great show. Thanks!!
Ima fan of Chandler! This guys got the best attitude!!
Seems like a decent guy in a interview

I have a lot of respect for this guy after this interview!
What a great and inspirational guy. I'm hooked.
What a well spoken man chandler is, no wonder ufc sign him, but like he said, can he hang with the top guys in the ufc, we'll see!!
I like Chandler. Hope he makes a statement and puts a bounty on himself. Exciting weekend ahead.

He has champion mentality. There''s nothing wrong with build our own confidence tho. Goodluck for him. When Khabib said he's eyeing on co main card, he seems targetting Chandler.
I love watching this guy what a great man huge respect sir
Pete loves his 155 tournament 😂
Really likeable man, quality interview
Some how the BT sport broadcast team and production has went from being cringey as all hell to the gold standard. Love to see it

People who hate on this guy literally must have never heard of Bellator, it's not like he just walked into the top 10 off the street.
Chandler has really won me over after this week
lol I thought that it was Ryan Bader talking to Michael for a moment
Chandler is a good lad 👍🏼 best of luck mate

Really like chandler. Nice guy, didn't like him in the beginning because he got to the top in ufc without doing anything. But he is actually a nice guy and I'm looking forward to his next fight.
Maybe he will shock us all and khabib and chandler will be the next fight
I want Chandler to win. Seems like a good guy
What the name of the shoes that chandler is wearing. They look good
becoming a big fan of this guys, what a story
Looks like hes interviewing the hobbit
