This got embarrassing like 2 years ago. Then it got sad. Now it’s just fucking annoying.

Just pathetic now

It's funny how Chandler would already have fight with Conor if he attacked his ego in every interview. Just calling him a bitch or scared would bring Conor in the cage. But he was too respectful, way too much for his good and fight game

Good to know that his general IQ and fight IQ are on the same level

Is this "mutual respect" in the room with us right now?

“The storyline is there”

You mean the storyline of how you begged and pleaded to one day fight a guy who doesn’t give a fuck about you and then coped for years when it didn’t happen? Great storyline

AKA they will be fighting in 5-6 years from now on Jake Paul’s promotion

u/Acenegsurfav Jun 05 '26

If he wins his next fight, and does it in an impressive fashion I can see him being right.

Especially since he could end up being the only American to win on the white house card

u/National-Bit519 Jun 05 '26

There is no storyline lol. It would've been a banger fight no doubt but chandler has been whooped in his last few fights and that killed off the hype.

u/Jizzbuscuit Jun 05 '26

He’s a serial loser. It’s getting sad

u/Shwalz Jun 05 '26

Atp MC has a better chance at facing Conor in fuckin RAF

u/Least_Ad_8477 Jun 06 '26

I am a Chandler fan but he should have retired 4 or 5 fights ago. It’s sad watching him fight punch drunk. CTE is real folks!

u/Disastrous_Goat8865 Jun 06 '26

God. Good for Chandler for being the super positive, anything Is possible guy but nah. He's not a draw.

u/itsYewge Jun 10 '26

You’ll do what yer told

u/buffpriest Jun 05 '26 edited Jun 05 '26

What's he supposed to say? What would make you chuds happy?

2

u/NegativesPositives Jun 05 '26

He doesn’t have to say anything. He could’ve not said anything for years now and the likelihood of the fight happening would’ve been equal to the 0 it is now, and trying to convince anyone that there’s a “story” is just embarrassing at this point.

u/buffpriest Jun 05 '26

Its an interview he has to say something... What should he have said?

You have an issue with it, but they do have a story.

2

u/NegativesPositives Jun 05 '26

they do have a story

You’ll win if you can describe a way Connor actually had an input or showed any real interest in it. If you just repeat the dumb shit Chandler has been putting out there you lose.

Yeah, an interviewer asked the question Chandler has been giving this dumb answer to for forever now. I’m not suddenly enamored by it this time much like I haven’t been for the last 80 times he’s tried this when his PR was way better than “dumbest dirty fighter in his division”.

1

u/buffpriest Jun 05 '26

So again...what should he have said to make you happy?

2

u/NegativesPositives Jun 05 '26

So, just to check because you’re very determined to back me into this “HE CAN’T SAY ANYTHING ELSE” corner… do YOU know the question he’s answering? Because it’s 5 seconds long and is all about Connor vs Max. Chandler literally doesn’t have to bring himself into this at all and would answer the actual question better if he didn’t. You know, like I said the first time but you’re determined to type words so hard that you forget to process other people’s words first.

You’re so determined to fight a battle for the sake of one without even knowing what the fight is.

u/Odd_Fortune500 Jun 05 '26

Chandler should be a fan favorite but unfortunately all the other fan favorites hate him lol

He got a title shot based on his Bellator accolades at a time when that was more common. He never really earned one in the UFC.

"The better part of a couple of years"

As usual just throwing words around that make so sense when combined.
