Annoyed, Chandler lastly determined to maneuver on, reserving a rematch with former UFC light-weight titleholder Charles Oliveira at UFC 309 in Madison Sq. Backyard. And whereas ‘Iron’ is hopeful that his long-awaited battle with ‘Mystic Mac’ will nonetheless occur, there are those that suppose the UFC ought to pay him for on a regular basis he spent sitting round as a substitute of benefiting from his twilight years within the battle recreation.

“I really feel for Chandler. Preventing is a tricky method to make a residing. It’s not simple. You get broken, your greatest years move by, and you’ll’t return to achieve the degrees you need. Once you get to the purpose the place your greatest years are behind you, you’d hope for a giant payday to make the remainder of your life extra comfy. This wrestle is frequent in fight sports activities” (h/t MMA Information).

Michael Chandler locations the blame on his shoulders

Whereas Malignaggi actually makes some extent, Michael Chandler has repeatedly accepted accountability for his actions, noting that at any time he might have referred to as up the UFC and requested for a battle as a substitute of holding out for his ‘pink panty night time’ towards McGregor.

The outsiders can look and say, ‘Man, he should hate Conor. Conor did this to him, Conor did that to him, the UFC did this to him.’ I did all this to myself.”

With McGregor nonetheless contracted for 2 extra fights contained in the Octagon, right here’s to hoping that Chandler will nonetheless get the possibility to money a multi-million greenback test towards the Irishman earlier than wrapping up his combined martial arts profession.
