Banger. Hope it goes for a couple of rounds at least



Well, appears since Khabib vacated the title, been a change of plans. Chandler/Olivera for the vacant LW title @ 262. No idea why Gaethje got psssed over.

Any idea why they didn’t go with Gaethje as planned? Asking for to much money?

Probably because his last fight was a loss

Meh, I suppose you’re probably right. But excitement level went from 10/10 to like 3/10. Chandler dominates a boring fight. Everyone complains. Except me, I like Chandler.

And the conspiracy nut in me sees they skipping over Gaethje so they can give Conor a shot at Chandler after he wins the belt, another undersized wrestler they think he can pick apart from distance.

It looks like Dustin vs Conor isn't happening until at least July as well

One of them is asking for too much money

I don't think money is an issue, conor is working diligently on checking kicks

Oh you're getting a hell of a fight with Michael and charles. Charles rightfully deserves this title shot, should be Dustin vs Charles and Michael vs like a Justin or conor or tony.
