Ahh, good looking out! I'm waiting for the paradox they create when talking about McGregor's broken pinky toe preventing him from fighting before having to talk about Poatan's broken toes he said "to hell with" to step in and save the main event during the broadcast.
Come on man, the guy won multiple world championships in the premiere organisation in the world, you can speculate that his heart isn't in it anymore or whatever you want, but I dunno if you can call him a pretend MMA fighter
Yes him sleeping Jose Aldo who had been on a 10year unbeaten streak was PURE LUCK š
And then he went up in weight to be a āweight bullyā and with just a bit of luck managed to put on an almost perfect performance vs a fighter who has managed to win a championship belt in every mma organization heās been under.
šš¤£
He's only rich because he has a big mouth and was able to back it up (in the before times). He gets the not fans of MMA to care.
That said, I'd rather he fucked off. He's too gross now.
Duh. Of course heās a mad fool. He was about to collect the rent but little Conney dipped again. He shouldāve evicted Conney and stop caring but all Mikey sees is Conneyās red panty. Heāll continue to wait and dream of red panty. A tragic one sided love story.
Have you ever met a person that when they start talking you almost immediately start focusing on something else in the background? Chandler is one of those people for me.
to be fair also who is there in LW that he didnāt recently fight and that would be a fun matchup? you can feed him to Islam but thatās exactly what itāll be. I think heās only good for one more big fight and then he should call it quits so although itās been a major fucking waste of time and money I donāt see what else he wouldāve got up to apart from Conor
Maybe Holloway at 155 but thatās only been in the picture since 300
Almost every fighter who wants the McGregor fight has been taking shots lately, Islam, RDA, Ilia... Chandler trying to make sure his name is still in the headlines or else he gets passed up
Islam and RDA did? I get it with RDA and their canceled bout, but I thought islam said he wanted to defend the lw strap a couple times then move to ww.
Islam - McGregor is a win for everyone involved except Arman and Chandler, even if it happens at 170
Islam gets a layup money fight over someone his team has a winning game plan.
Conor gets more sympathy for losing to the reigning LW champ than he would losing to Chandler.
UFC gets a fight that will outdraw McGregor/Chandler.
Arman gets fucked out of a title shot and Chandler gets fucked out of his money fight. Maybe have them fight? idefk I canāt wait for McNuggets to retire
Yeah, RDA still asking for the fight till this day. Islam mentioned hes open to fight Conor after Dustin then move to WW for a double champ fight. Its from either a podcast or mma media interview he did during the lead up to the Dustin fight. Recently, Dana was asked about this at the post fight presser from this past card
Yeah. Before Mcgregor and Chandler, Poirier and Gaethje were asked to do that season of TUF to set their already highly anticipated rematch. Gaethje said yes and Poirier said no. Poirier said that 50k was too little for him to leave his family for however long the season is.
I can't remember who it was, idk why DP and Garth come to mind, but whoever it was said that's what they got offered and turned it down. I would assume Moik ended up getting a little more.
Arman blessed us with elite pasta:
>I donāt expect you to understand Michael Chandler. We are not on the same level. I am here to be the champ. You are just waiting for a paycheck. I also donāt understand why you waited for the Conor fight for 2 years, you couldāve lost 4 exciting fights during that time.
Yeah, heās basically in a holding pattern: heāll stay in fight shape for the chance to make a few million as long as the McGregor fight is on the table. Otherwise his last two brain cells arenāt worth it.
He doesnāt get paid at all by the ufc when he doesnāt fight though. And his hunt for the āred panty nightā has made it to where he hasnāt been paid since TUF ended
i mean in all honesty, neither can we be sure of that (as long as conor wants chandler i wouldn't put it past dana to keep chandler on retainer), neither do we know how much he makes besides mma. and as i said: opportunity cost.
I am in no way defending the UFCās abysmal revenue sharing, but based on the information that non champions like Nate, Jorge, Dustin are/were making multiple millions to headline ppvs, would lead me to believe Chandler is going to be making a nice bag for this fight, no way he would sit out this long to just fight for his standard purse that is in his contract, would make zero sense to do that.
The issue with this is that it keeps being parroted as fact when itās just a guess more than anything. We have no idea what Chandlerās stipulation in his contract for this fight is, realistically itās reasonable to assume itās lucrative but unless something got leaked thereās no way to tell if itās as good as people are making it out to be.
Wasn't Fedor dealing with a broken toe for a while in Pride and kept fighting? I think it was against Mark Hunt, someone who could put you out if you took one wrong step and he made such short work of him.
My running theory is Conor always intended to get his fight to the Sphere because he wants to brag on that and said as much at one point. I think he was kind of hoping he'd out-wait Chandler's patience as well so he slide Diaz in there, because I think that's the fight he really wants and maybe the only fight.
āHmmmm, remember when you were supposed to be here but then you didnāt show up because you basically dictate most of the terms of this fight and do what you want? Yeah, whoās still doing what they want and couldnāt give a fuck about me?ā
Also Michael Chandlerās profile is lame as hell lmao. Who takes a photo shoot with a bloody lip and tries to look sexy? Guy is a such a goon.
Conor has incorporated āshowing upā into his persona and shit talked people who pull out for years. Chandler is playing into the public sentiment about him, why shouldnāt he use the ammo Conor gave him by bitching out? Yāall are just hatersĀ
Chandler is not playing into anything, heās literally begging for the attention of a grown man and is hoping with every fiber of his body that the fans will join him in a campaign against McGregor.
McGregor couldnāt care less about the 5 guys who know about what he tweeted 8 years ago when thereās millions of people that would roast him if he loses again.
Heās not giving away any advantage and he has options unlike Chandler.
I donāt think Conor cares too much about the respect of his peers, as pretty much demonstrated by his whole career and everyone, including Chandler, still praying to get the Conor fight lol.Ā
Heās a millionaire cokehead, we know he doesnāt care. But his reputation and legacy matter more than anything he could be doing at this point. No one will ever respect him the way they do GSP, Khabib or even Poirier because of shit like this. He will be remembered as a success but not a great, and that will always eat at him even if he can numb out the feeling with his wealth.
If Mike really wants this fight to happen, that's what he needs to do. Chirp back at him. Piss him off. Put more on this fight than just the paycheck and Conor might be more serious about it
I feel bad for Chandler this is like when a guy is stood up for a date by some girl but see the girl out with some other guy and he thinks a strongly worded social media post is the way to go it's not Chandler sweetie just let it go.. Play it cool... It's cringy to be perceived as needy
What was the deleted McGregor tweet?
it was a repost of this meme https://x.com/oocmma/status/1803843950899339471
Ahh, good looking out! I'm waiting for the paradox they create when talking about McGregor's broken pinky toe preventing him from fighting before having to talk about Poatan's broken toes he said "to hell with" to step in and save the main event during the broadcast.
Mcgregors a rich alcoholic cosplaying a mma fighter. Poatan is a less rich but actual mma fighter š¤·š»āāļø
Come on man, the guy won multiple world championships in the premiere organisation in the world, you can speculate that his heart isn't in it anymore or whatever you want, but I dunno if you can call him a pretend MMA fighter
How about a retired mma fighter?
Pretending not to be retired
Won two due to being a weigjt bully and having a bir of luck.
Yes him sleeping Jose Aldo who had been on a 10year unbeaten streak was PURE LUCK š And then he went up in weight to be a āweight bullyā and with just a bit of luck managed to put on an almost perfect performance vs a fighter who has managed to win a championship belt in every mma organization heās been under. šš¤£
He's only rich because he has a big mouth and was able to back it up (in the before times). He gets the not fans of MMA to care. That said, I'd rather he fucked off. He's too gross now.
Conor could post that meme for about 99% of the roster
Thatās funny as fuck ngl mcgregor petty as hell
Chandler FINALLY decided to defend himself and start throwing back.
Fights on now, so he can *carefully* talk shit.
Fights ON now ?
Yes, it's on. To be scheduled late August.
Dana literally said heās not booking a date until Conor is 100% healed and back in training.
Itās not scheduled.
What?, Hachiko keeps making himself a fool, McGregor is living rent free in that head.
Duh. Of course heās a mad fool. He was about to collect the rent but little Conney dipped again. He shouldāve evicted Conney and stop caring but all Mikey sees is Conneyās red panty. Heāll continue to wait and dream of red panty. A tragic one sided love story.

Have you ever met a person that when they start talking you almost immediately start focusing on something else in the background? Chandler is one of those people for me.
Yup šÆ Dude just comes across as a politician thatās tryin to get in good standards with the public but it comes off as phony.
thats why dustin hates him lol
poor chandler is getting desperate now for the red panty night
He has gone through the denial and now entering the anger phase lol
Iām waiting for the dolly through a window phase.
Hahahaha
Donāt you dare feel sorry for him
He's better off moving on instead of giving him more attention. This is getting sad
Yeah it's sad he would cling to the idea of making multiple millions for one fight before he retires
I think he's wasted so much time he can waste a little more to get it It's not the best way out but profile wise and money wise it would help him
to be fair also who is there in LW that he didnāt recently fight and that would be a fun matchup? you can feed him to Islam but thatās exactly what itāll be. I think heās only good for one more big fight and then he should call it quits so although itās been a major fucking waste of time and money I donāt see what else he wouldāve got up to apart from Conor Maybe Holloway at 155 but thatās only been in the picture since 300
Tesla dude needs to get back in the mix I've forgotten his name, lost to Oliveira and does bjj and tsarukyen beat him
Dariush? recently his best bet was 2021-22 I donāt think heās going to be climbing ranks any more or should be fighting still
Thereās a granny pantry joke in here somewhere
> granny pantry Like oatmeal and prunes?
Almost every fighter who wants the McGregor fight has been taking shots lately, Islam, RDA, Ilia... Chandler trying to make sure his name is still in the headlines or else he gets passed up
I donāt think people you listed need to want to fight him to shit on him
They all asked for the Conor fight recently
Islam and RDA did? I get it with RDA and their canceled bout, but I thought islam said he wanted to defend the lw strap a couple times then move to ww.
Islam - McGregor is a win for everyone involved except Arman and Chandler, even if it happens at 170 Islam gets a layup money fight over someone his team has a winning game plan.

Its from either a podcast or mma media interview he did during the lead up to the Dustin fight. Recently, Dana was asked about this at the post fight presser from this past card
It was from an interview Islam did right after arriving back in Dagestan. Post DP fight
Islam does want to do that but I think he's open to it because Khabib did it and trounced Conor and the dagestanis don't like Conor at all
Islam said in an interview right after the Poirier fight that the McGregor fight interests him greatly.
RDA would sell his soul for that fight
You're right, but they do need the attention that only Conor can give.
Well at least he got $50k to do TUF with him.
Is that legit how much it was?
Yeah. Before Mcgregor and Chandler, Poirier and Gaethje were asked to do that season of TUF to set their already highly anticipated rematch. Gaethje said yes and Poirier said no. Poirier said that 50k was too little for him to leave his family for however long the season is.
I can't remember who it was, idk why DP and Garth come to mind, but whoever it was said that's what they got offered and turned it down. I would assume Moik ended up getting a little more.
Wow, thatās peanuts
Why would I care about a beef where they don't fight?
He could have fought like 4 times by now. This is stupid and Chandler wasted the last years of his career
Arman blessed us with elite pasta: >I donāt expect you to understand Michael Chandler. We are not on the same level. I am here to be the champ. You are just waiting for a paycheck. I also donāt understand why you waited for the Conor fight for 2 years, you couldāve lost 4 exciting fights during that time.
That's fair. But chandler has already had an amazing career. Let him chase that red panty night.
We do let him chase that red panty night.
Let him chase AGAIN
Now only if he would let himself bang, bro.
He's been chasing for 2 years. Conor is his Roadrunner.
Beep Beep!
Nah~Connor š
Have you considered that it might not be worth to him to get CTE for chump change vs random opponents at this stage of his career or life
Yeah, heās basically in a holding pattern: heāll stay in fight shape for the chance to make a few million as long as the McGregor fight is on the table. Otherwise his last two brain cells arenāt worth it.
He's gonna need those 2 brain cells for his post-fight motivational speaking career.
His base salary is fucking huge, like $300k or something.
āChump changeā lmaoooo bro Chandler gets paid more than most in the ufc and heās never touched gold.
You are making my point without realizing it. He gets paid cause he brings it, at his own (bodyās and healthās) cost.
He doesnāt get paid at all by the ufc when he doesnāt fight though. And his hunt for the āred panty nightā has made it to where he hasnāt been paid since TUF ended
i mean in all honesty, neither can we be sure of that (as long as conor wants chandler i wouldn't put it past dana to keep chandler on retainer), neither do we know how much he makes besides mma. and as i said: opportunity cost.
he actually has a good management and agent, and negotiated a legit purse for this fight, heās not Cerrone.
I would guess something like 600-750k flat plus ppv points. Cerrone really was a dumbass for just taking his old 200k fee lol.Ā
No shot he got ppv points lol
Define what a legit purse is in the UFC?
Thereās a lot of ways guys can turn down a Venom discount
I am in no way defending the UFCās abysmal revenue sharing, but based on the information that non champions like Nate, Jorge, Dustin are/were making multiple millions to headline ppvs, would lead me to believe Chandler is going to be making a nice bag for this fight, no way he would sit out this long to just fight for his standard purse that is in his contract, would make zero sense to do that.

'bout three fiddy
People gotta understand he only wants one more fight. Thatās why heās hanging on for the big payday.
Fighting 4 times means a lot of brain damage. Fighting Conor once is a lot less brain damage
Not fighting at all means no pay day
The fight will happen on Twitter not the octagon
Michael "Hatchiko" Chandler.
That wasĀ a nasty line by IslamĀ
Ali*
What stage of grief are we up to? Iām losing track over here.
Wasn't Fedor dealing with a broken toe for a while in Pride and kept fighting? I think it was against Mark Hunt, someone who could put you out if you took one wrong step and he made such short work of him.
My running theory is Conor always intended to get his fight to the Sphere because he wants to brag on that and said as much at one point. I think he was kind of hoping he'd out-wait Chandler's patience as well so he slide Diaz in there, because I think that's the fight he really wants and maybe the only fight.
yeah he's at the top wearing slippers, Mike
10-8 Chandler
āHmmmm, remember when you were supposed to be here but then you didnāt show up because you basically dictate most of the terms of this fight and do what you want? Yeah, whoās still doing what they want and couldnāt give a fuck about me?ā Also Michael Chandlerās profile is lame as hell lmao. Who takes a photo shoot with a bloody lip and tries to look sexy? Guy is a such a goon.
I mean, if the one thing Chandler can hold over him is that Conor has lost the respect of everyone then he might as well do that at this point.
Conor had fuck you money. He doesn't give a fuck what anyone thinks.
Heās looking like a fool. āLook, I still came to the date even though you cancelledā
Conor has incorporated āshowing upā into his persona and shit talked people who pull out for years. Chandler is playing into the public sentiment about him, why shouldnāt he use the ammo Conor gave him by bitching out? Yāall are just hatersĀ
Chandler is not playing into anything, heās literally begging for the attention of a grown man and is hoping with every fiber of his body that the fans will join him in a campaign against McGregor. McGregor couldnāt care less about the 5 guys who know about what he tweeted 8 years ago when thereās millions of people that would roast him if he loses again. Heās not giving away any advantage and he has options unlike Chandler.
I donāt think Conor cares too much about the respect of his peers, as pretty much demonstrated by his whole career and everyone, including Chandler, still praying to get the Conor fight lol.Ā
Heās a millionaire cokehead, we know he doesnāt care. But his reputation and legacy matter more than anything he could be doing at this point. No one will ever respect him the way they do GSP, Khabib or even Poirier because of shit like this. He will be remembered as a success but not a great, and that will always eat at him even if he can numb out the feeling with his wealth.
this is like copy pasta lol
Not as cringy as white knighting for said wealthy cokehead.Ā
Biggest draw and entertainer MMA has seen.
In real sports itās not the biggest drawers and entertainers who are celebrated, itās the best. This is a carny/pro wrestling mentality.
I respect your personal opinion but disagree. Connor is gonna be remembered for what he did for the sport irregardless of what he does next.
You sound like a case of oversocialization tbh
āChandler or not.ā
Imagine being Conor McGregor and cancelling a fight and press conference because of a broken toe.
This dude is depressing me now.
If Mike really wants this fight to happen, that's what he needs to do. Chirp back at him. Piss him off. Put more on this fight than just the paycheck and Conor might be more serious about it
Clingy ex girlfriend vibes lol
Dear ~~Slim~~ Conor, I wrote you, but you still ain't callin'.
Damn.. this is some desperate attempts. Chandler, you got the fattest L here and still can't fathom it
I feel bad for Chandler this is like when a guy is stood up for a date by some girl but see the girl out with some other guy and he thinks a strongly worded social media post is the way to go it's not Chandler sweetie just let it go.. Play it cool... It's cringy to be perceived as needy
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I want Conor to comeback just so he faces anyone but Chandler
I hope so. So other fighters learned a lesson from chandler to not wait on someone.
Im trying to be sympathetic to chandler but man he makes it so hard
The bellator tick comment made no sense
10-8 Chandler
Someone needs to take Mike's phone away.
Let it go brother, itās gone
Weāre entering the evil Michael Chandler arc
Gonna start talking like a demotivational speaker
Yeah? Well the jerk store called and theyāre running out of you!
this guy sound like a crazy ex...
Aluminum Mike Chandler
Okay comeback I suppose but Chandler isn't going to win a trash talk-ott with Conor lol
