On UFC 254, Khabib Nurmagomedov was about to face Justin Gaethje in their now famous lightweight championship fight. That fight would end up being the final farewell for Khabib, who announced his retirement after submitting Gaethje in a ruthless triangle choke.
Leading up to the fight, the spotlight was often shined on one fighter who was a replacement in case one of the fighters would be forced to withdraw. He was itching to get inside the Octagon and show the world what he can do.
No one would blame you if you didn’t recognize that face from seeing it in the UFC Octagon. His name is Michael Chandler, and he was there to see if his debut in the coveted UFC roster would be in a championship fight against one of the legends of the promotion.
He wouldn’t get the chance to fight that night. However, we could witness his intensity, his desire to fight, and one could sense that he was destined for greater things down the road.
Michael grew up in High Ridge, Missouri, in a blue-collar, hard-working, American household. High Ridge had a population of 4,305 per the 2010 census, so it was a tight knit community where most knew each other. From early on, Michael learned the importance of hard work, instilled early by his parents. He owes a lot of his success to that same work ethic that he demonstrates to this day. A relentlessness that helped him bounce back from many setbacks.
