Remember when Chandler was first signed with the UFC a lot of fans didn’t like him... Now he is one of the most entertaining & loved fighters to watch 👏

You can’t not like Chandler. He’s tough as hell and seems like a genuinely nice person. I hope he stays in the UFC for a few more years.

Idc about the wins or losses, It’s the mindset that keeps me tuning into Chandler ✌️

After a long career I can see him being a commentator or something along those lines. He speaks well and makes sense. I love that he isn’t disrespectful to the guys he’s fought or is fighting but makes his points. Seems like a great guy actually. Makes it hard for me to want Tony to win.

The way he talks about being there for his kids, all while chasing his dream of one day becoming champion, what a warrior!

Reporter: How’s life? Chandler: “Life is like a sewer man - what you get out of it depends on what you put into it. Nothing is impossible, the word itself says “I’m possible. Don’t give up, there’s light at the end of the tunnel, it’s just been turned off due to budget cuts. See you at the top”

“Gonna bite down on my mouthpiece and have a good time” what a f’n badass 😂

Chandlers motivational speeches vs Tony the type of guy.

Fans: you’re a class act Chandler: class is nothing but a figment of our imagination just like ranks belts achievements, I’m just an actor of life acting it’s deepest desires, I’m in a class of life, I’m acting in a class of my own, I don’t know what you said but you’re a class act for asking that question. Fans: 🙏

Chandler is such a class act all of the time inside and out of the octagon this dude is flat out likeable. How can anyone not like this guy!?

I like and admire Chandler tremendously. Dude always brings it and talks very well would love to see him become an analyst in the future. He deserves the biggest and baddest fights

Dude is a class act all the way. Champ material and above all, a real ambassador of the sport. Both as athlete and how he carries himself a whole. Hope he goes all the way .

Man. He is legit one of the most wholesome and down to earth guys in the ufc. Maybe in all sports. What a Gem.

Everytime chandler talks I feel motivated to give my best at anything I do in my life Edit: This world truly has gone soft, I'm getting hate just because I find chandlers words motivating?

If he would use his skills with good strategy he'd be champ rn

10:01 Chandler: No, I don’t take my self too seriously (regarding motivation speeches) 10:03 Also Chandler: starting motivation speech about motivation speeches How can you not love the dude?

“who da fook is that guy” is definitely the best line in mma history

A person who has taken so much damage, his eloquence is mind boggling 😤

Damn it Chandler is my favourite fighter from this day

Dude reminds me of one of my good friends Just straight positive and contagious.

I hope he gets himself back into a title fight! Would love to see him do it all and become a world champion.

This is just a solid dude right here

This was a Great interview.

Chandler is a good example of how to make money as an athlete in MMA; put on a show, work with the media often and practice speaking well, negotiate professionally with the UFC, put on a show, put on a show, put on a show… The way he fights will get him big fights, the way he handles business will keep him in a strong partnership with the ufc for the duration of his life, and his work with the media will build his brand and allow him to make money outside of his fights and work as a commentator afterwards. The UFC has reason to block these boxing matches; they devalue the company by devaluing the fighters, because the boxers will continue winning and the mma fighters will look bad - regardless how much money they make on one fight. Why wouldn’t a brand protect itself? Heck, the fighters may not realize it but they are protecting their legacy as well, and if the fighters played the game like a pro then they would make the money they want while also helping the sport grow that they started their career in. Tom Brady and Payton Manning could make a hundred million each if they would have sold PPVs for people to see them compete in a passing competition in their prime, but they wouldn’t even think of pulling attention from their team during the season for them to get a payday - The UFC fighters need to start looking at their peers as a team that needs to do everything they can to bring eyes to the sport; cuz right now everyone is just looking to bring eyes to themselves.

I really like this kind of Interview. Realistic, respectfull, confident. True and precious insights into the mind of a warrior. I want interviews like that. I want Chandler to be successfull for his attitude. Wish him all the best. Im a huge Tony Ferguson fan. I have a dilemma now. I want both to win.

Damn Chandler is dope ! He has a warrior mindset! And humble as hell!! I hope he does become UFC champion .he already has the heart of a champion!

I agree! 100% He is a class act , a true fighter. His quote ? When you fight the best @ 155. In this division You will have losses.. But his humility and his strengths to overcome the defeats. And still speak like a champion 🏆.. He not only give kinds words to all fighters.. But ? HE IS A BEAST.. & CAN CHANGE ANY FIGHT IN 10 SECONDS - 3 PUNCH APPETIZER.. ( NO LUNCH ) 😆.. I AM A FAN OF ALL THE 155 FIGHTERS, THE TOP 20 IS CRAZY TALENT.

got to love chandler man, one of my favourite fighters because of his attitude and the fact that whether he wins or loses, it will always be entertaining.

if this dudes on point and sticks to the plan, he can beat anyone. emotions can defeat anyone. Gaethje couldn't starch him with the bombs he hit him with, with that being said, don't sleep on Charlie olives in his fight. Ferguson is the most durable fighter alive but the Justin fight took his soul. I hope he shows out, don't get me wrong. but if Chandler paces his shots, he'll catch him, cause Tony gets hit, alot. Chandler does to tho

Even I want to see this fight. I think it would be like Conor vs Chad because stylistically Chandler and Chad are similar (Wrestlers with over hands) and if Oliveira can ko him than Conor can too.

This dude is absolutely the best choice for ufc commentator when he hangs up the gloves.

Chandler is such an impressive fighter, such a nice individual as well, I feel like he can win Saturday night

My idol ❤️ I wanna be like Mike one day bless him a gem 💎 ✨️ of a person

Compared to Alvarez, Chandler has been much more of a spectacle, much more entertaining, but as a huge task to fulfil and win a championship, constantly changing my perspective on him. I’ve become a fan

He speaks the truth Tony talks in riddles.

Michael is the type of guy to give a speech at the drive through.

The best 👌 motivational speaker in mma 👏 🙌 👌 👍 ❤️ Mike chandler

You're a good dude Mr Chandler

I’ve been saying it for a long time that would be a good match up.

Dude just seems like a genuinely nice guy

Chandler really seems like a good man . Best speaker in the ufc he has a career at ESPN or comentating

I don’t wanna see either guy lose but If I gotta choose I’m picking tony

You gotta love this guy, just so honest and nice but still driven to beat everyone.

'My favorite two heartbeats on the entire planet' 😆Chandler's cheesiness has definitely grown on me.

Chandler adopting kids he’s a real one

he his so well spoken

as Justin dared to say that the fight with Chandler was not a war and according to him that it was a boring fight…😅 I think that all the damage he has received has damaged his brain, boring and painful was his fight against Khabib… and in fact Chandler would have beaten him if he hadn't been so emotional and kept his composure

Class as always got to appreciate this man hes a real one

Chandler is an honest cool level headed man who comes to fight we as fans should cherish him he won’t be here for a long time

Chandler has never had a boring fight in the ufc. All his fight are super entertaining win or lose

Can't believe he hit em with a Prefontaine quote....legendary. Long live Pre.

Good energy

This dudes awesome, would love to see him and Conor fight. I could see that fight being similar to Mendes-McGregor, although Chandler could drag Conor into deep water.

This man is well spoken, respectful and honest. Would make for a good champion and representation for MMA.

One of my favorite fighter guys got real heart

Michael Chandler is the type of man I would think of when I think of a role model. The guy is a professional fighter. He’s obviously tough as they come. But he’s softly spoken and always respectful- plus we hear how he gives selflessly when he speaks of his kids and his wife.

Classy as always

this guy should run for the office, dude walks on eggshells the way he talks, super strategic, extremely well spoken

Wasn't sure about how I felt about him. As time goes by, he's really hard to not like. Just a good guy all around.

You cannot dislike Chandler. Whether he wins or lose, I've known him only from UFC but I'm already a fan. Best wishes.

Michael Chandler what a great signing for the UFC

Love this guy. What an awesome human being.

Chandler vs Mcgregor is fireworks

God this fight is so hard for me. I’m a huge fan of both and I don’t want either to lose

I fucking love this dude. Backing up everything. I do wish Tony back into a winning streak. One of the best to ever do it without the well deserved recognition.

I see Chandler will be the next UFC /ESPN Commentator/Fight Analyst

Chandler is actaully a very honest guy, reapect!

This guy is a treasure.. I always feel better after listening to him talk.

While I agree id love to watch it again he does not deserve a rematch vs Charles, or Gaethje let alone for the title. You just lost to both man. Gotta get 2-3 Ws before you get either of those 2 again.

He really said Justin was scared of him in the last fight 😂 what the fuck I don’t think he remembers it correctly

Chandler never speak anything bad about anyone that is what makes him more likable.

He's great on the mic man and fights like an lion. I wish both men luck in this bout.

Chandler wants “all the money”

I like this dude a lot, he's very humble. He's very sharp and well spoken which is weird because he's a fighter lol

After hearing this interview I was able to walk on water... Thanks Mike

Dude is grounded. Very smart, I’d love to see a Chandler/McGregor fight

Me during a bong sesh

I wonder why the UFC didn't match Dariush vs Chandler, if we talking about rankings this would make the most sense.

Chandler has definitely become one of my favorite fighters. Love this guy !

with the amount of blows hes copped over the years he is amazingly well spoken

Chandler is a fantastic representative for combat sports as a whole and a genuinely good person. I hope for continued success for him and Ferguson regardless of the winner.

All it takes is for tony to land an elbow and open somebody up. Changes the whole fight.

This guy is now my favorite fighter love hz interview and hz love for his family

Love Chandler

You can’t help but like this guy! Ultimate professional in and out of the octagon, that reason alone I’ll continue to route for him!! And on top of it he always puts on one hell of a fight! I don’t wanna see him stand up with Conor though he might get ko’d

damn , i've just though , what a great commentator in the making he is . probably could start right now, like Felder, no need to wait till the end of the career

When Michael Chandler speaks...God aspires to do better each day

Am I the only one disappointed that he didn't say "see you at the top"?

"Looking at your Eddie Alvarez fight..." Yea? How's he doing with ONE? Forgot bout manz 🤷😬

I was skeptical about chandler at first . But man hes came thru with his performances. Maybe he didnt win but it was damn entertaining...

Honesty it the best policy and this guy spit’s facts… respect!

You don't get much better on the mic than Chandler.

How can you not love this guy?

“i want all the money.” Proper translation.

Really want to see Chandler vs Makhachev

I like both. Chandler is gonna get this done though I think.

I think if Candler stopped running into every fight with reckless abandon he would already be the 155lb Champion. Dude needs to sit down and chill on his work in each of his UFC fights. Stop trying to end the fight with every swing........

Chandler took one huge step up the ladder and been going down ever since

See you at the top!

Impressive speaker great fighter 👍
