With just one match at UFC, the former light champion Bellator Chandler has done impossible: winning a belt of the world's leading tournament. Of course, it is possible to understand the decision of the tournament because his victory over Dan Hooker is an extremely beautiful moment.
In addition, one of the reasons this happens is the champion of Khabib Nurmagomedov retired and return belt combined with Dustin Poirier want to focus on the third match with Conor McGregor.
In a recent interview, Michael Chandler also said his feelings about playing in Welterweight after dominating Lightweight.
“The movement of Welterweight will definitely be what I consider after I win the Lightweight belt and protect it once or twice. I want to enter the Lightweight weight class and assert myself as the top Lightweight boxer of the tournament,” Chandler said.
Of course, as a fighter who regularly plays at Lightweight, Chandler also said his feelings about the size at the weight of the scale.
“I am not a suitable boxer for Welterweight, but I see many Welterweight boxers I want to confront. Jorge Masvidal actually only size lightweight, Nate Diaz too.”
As for Kamaru Usman, we often fight, he is not really too big for a Welterweight boxer. ”
Even so, the possibility of Michael Chandler painting from Kamaru Usman will not be really high because he is a friend of Kamaru Usman at the Sanford MMA furnace.
