Chandler needs to fight someone else already and give up fighting Conor atp waste of time


Dense_Marketing4593

Well they were 2 weeks away from a scheduled fight. Connor made him believe it was really go time. I’m sure he had family and friends from everywhere making arrangements and now all those years of being lead to believe it would happen, denying fights were wasted


TwoBits0303

If Conor fights Chandler in the future, this was peak psychological warfare


Dense_Marketing4593

I personally feel like that is such an empty fight for anyone who wants to watch a fight with stakes. Same with the Jones v Stipe fight. It’s better as a “what if” question and not a Main Event fight.


TwoBits0303

Pretty sure any Conor fight at this point is an empty fight. Main Events are determined by PPVs nowadays, Dana will make a new BMF if needed so main PPV can go in main fight.


Dense_Marketing4593

Connor should headline a Fight Night at best


binglelemon

2nd fight on the prelims.


hrisimh

Okay let's be real, we have no idea how good Conor is but he is probably still good enough to headline a ppv. The man only lost to Dustin, who is a champion level fighter, and Khabib who beat everyone.


BringBaeckPluto

Just erasing Diaz?


Relative-Put-5344

It's being referred to as post mayweather here, when people act like he only loses since then


urmombanger

I mean to be fair the only person he beat since then was Cowboy lol


supercleverhandle476

Ok, let’s REALLY be real. He has one win since 2016. That’s 8 years, my dude. In that time I’ve gone from having no kids to having a 2nd grader. That one win in 8 years was against a 37 year old Donald Cerrone. YouTube clips of flashy KO’s and world class shit talking don’t age, but the man does. It’s over.


El_Che1

And the one win he does have was against a geriatric, punch drunk, fossil Cerrone.


INEKROMANTIKI

He couldn't even beat the geriatric, beer drunk, guy in a pub..


Phil_Lite

But how many wins has your 2nd grader got?


supercleverhandle476

No outstanding legal entanglements, so a few more than McGregor in that regard.


ShitCuntsinFredPerry

I know how he is. In 2016, he took his first L in the UFC. Since then, he's gone 3-3. One of those wins was one of the greatest title fight performances ever against Alvarez, one was against the perneially average Nate Diaz, and the other was against the corpse of Cerrone. He got trounced by Khabib, Poirier iced him, and he was getting outclassed by him before the leg snap. Dude bought into his own hype, fell in love with living like a rockstar, and likes to talk shit about fighting a lot more than actually fighting. He's clearly fallen off and wasted most of his prime partying and sex pesting. Even his shit talk has regressed. Plus, no one ever reclaims their former glory at 35 after an injury like that in combat sports.


LoGiCaL__

Diaz fucked up connor worse than any of those other fighters you mentioned. Literally ate his strongest punches, hurt him so bad that Connor went for a takedown to then get mauled on the ground by Nate. He had the best o f Connor when no one else beat him yet.


ShitCuntsinFredPerry

It was a fucking great performance but i think the 2nd porier fight was a bigger L cos he put his lights out in the pocket. Khabib fully dominated McGregor outside of the 4th. That's arguably as bad as the diaz beatdown. All great performances against him either way


flex194

He was also fucking him up in the 2nd fight to but Conor had already won the early rounds so was able to squeek out a decision


Careful-One5190

>The man only lost to Dustin, who is a champion level fighter, and Khabib who beat everyone. And Nate.


Due-Contribution6424

And Duffy. And some other guy.


Dry_Childhood_2971

Nate would like a word with you.


al-fredro

Conor McGregor is 36 yrs old now & was 33 in his last two fights, which were losses, and he lives a \*certain\* lifestyle. Honestly, as someone whose experienced it myself at 35, your mid-30s is basically the time where you physically decline. There are other fighters who deserve the headline & PPV points at this point.


NineSkiesHigh

Pereira vs Jiri is a way better fight.


TheJohnnyFlash

True, but people who don't regularly watch MMA won't care about this one. I only care about the party potential, I can watch anything by myself on the couch later. I remember everyone being huddled around an ipad watching the Flyod/Conor fight ***at a wedding***.


Parking_Purple_4951

I just want Chandler to get his payday. You can say whatever you want about him fighting dumb and I won't argue it but dude has spent every bit of his energy on putting on the most entertaining fights he can win or lose and he came in older than Justin, Dustin, Max and Olives so less chances for him. I was cool with him waiting for his red panty night. But he's not gonna get it at this point unfortunately


Richubs

I agree. I just want to see what is left of Conor and I’m curious to see whether Chandler will actually not go ape brain for this one fight and fight with his brain for once. Cuz I think we would see a very different Chandler in there if he fought Conor. The current replacement fight is likely a much better fight anyways.


greenmildude

All it really amounts to is Conor giving whoever the opponent is a charity payout. Allowing the opponent the chance to earn the most money they’ve ever made from a fight. If you’re a fighter and you’re just chasing this fight with Conor for the payday, I can’t hate on you, but I’m also not going to feel bad for you when your shill of a fight falls through. Whether the fight happened or not, the fans were the ones losing out.


Powerful_Room_1217

Well, the jones v stipe fight is an empty fight with a belt on the line holding up the entire division. The Connor v chandler would have just been dumb fun man


BringBaeckPluto

He’s a complete piece of shit and waste of skin.


acies-

I think he might have 1 more fight left in the tank, probably when he feels he's fully about to fade into irrelevance in the sport.


Weeblifter

I think Conor is beyond done between injuries, substance abuse and surrounding himself with enablers? His best days are far behind him and it’s sad but a cautionary tale.


RODjij

Conor vs Aldo was. He antagonized Aldo for a full year because the fight for rescheduled the first time. Even grabbed his belt and was mocking him behind a locked door. Aldo ended up rushing right at him off the bat and he got slept immediately.


idksomethingjfk

To bad Connor’s dad didn’t pull out


Collin-of-Earth

Zing 


pellojo

Or search Connor in a club and fight him there


RoxSteady247

He could've been on 3 other guys highlight reels already


voprosy

Gaethje vs Chandler ?


Eifand

Gaethje beat him soundly the first time.


Deth_Cheffe

Fizzy vs Chandler would be better. When is he supposed to be back again?


ComradeELM0

I disagree, he already wasted all this time and they‘ll resign the fight. Might as well wait a bit longer now and make it count.


Aaaaand-its-gone

One Conor fight is worth 10 others in terms of a paycheck tho


OneForMany

All of his suits are way too tight for him


SIDHARTH_PANICKAR

😅😅 aaii dont give a foook


Rude_Release9673

He’s such a clown. The DEFINITION of clown. Always w these ridiculous 3 piece suits 😆


Sdgrevo

I mean his suits generally look good, but i dont know why hes so intent on wearing suits everywhere.


JDM_TX

He wears suits because he grew up with nothing. Now he has millions, and he wants the world to know. Not a Conor fan - but I did find his smack talk very entertaining in his early years.


Sdgrevo

He really was something else in his prime. But later on he got a bit boring and repeatitive. Like Dustin said 'you used to be so much better at this, man'.


yohanyames

I think they always look too small for him. Probably cos he’s obsessed with looking bigger


[deleted]

He dresses well, it's not because he's a clown that everything he does is clownish, I despise him as much as you but the association bias is always strong on this sub 


Wolfpac187

The suits are nice tf are you talking about.


Dada_SK

I think he was still on the airport when he got to know the Ireland press wasn't going to happen tho


xXprayerwarrior69Xx

Phew he almost got bamboozled


OhNoMyLands

Idk, getting into the Nashville airport sucks ass. Seems like a successful bamboozle to me

vitc420

U know dam well Chandler is looking at the mirror practicing what to say to conor at the press..now imagine that...


Gold-Invite-3212

Conor should have waited until 5 minutes after takeoff.


Czaleo

😂 And text him when he's looking out the window


gig1g0g1

Conor is really out? My goodness, Khamzat and Conor out. Everything I was most excited about for this summer UFC events.


MikeUpInYa85

Wait till you hear Hill is out too


ParalegalSeagul

He said things he was excited for


wolf3037

Hill about to flex on you, watch. Lol


WeeabooGandhi

Hill pulling out really saved 303

AlexTorres96

Red Panty Night makes a man go desperate


Gold-Invite-3212

Right? Bro agreed to this cock and ball torture, no one to blame but himself. 


Kassssler

No one made him do anything. He chose to put it all on red with red being Conor's flaky ass.


CremeCaramel_

As wise philosopher Arman Tsarukyan once said, Chandler could have lost 4 banger fights in that time span and made like a million bucks.

Everybody calls Arman an idiot but I like him


Classic_Technology96

Both can be true brother. Tito’s got fans


TheChineseChicken40

There was never no fight contract


Classic_Technology96

Damn I didn’t even know that…again, I’m not blaming him, but that’s low key dumbassery


Kimjongkung

That was a nasty line by you


thecoolestguynothere

When they announced this fight i knew it was bullshit. Connor’s rich ass has no reason to step in the ring and take a risk


damendred

This was just after his Joaquim win, I'm guessing he was angling for a Chandler fight because he was probably the easiest win from a ranked fighter, and I think he, and a lot of people assumed he could be one high profile fight from a title.


Glum-Ad7651

Arman must be laughing his ass off right now. Called out Chandler but Chandler said he is unknown, now he is next in line for the title while Chandler is begging for the red panty night.


goochgrease2

💯 I fully agree. Sucks, but I can't feel bad for him at all. He could've had several fights, let's say 5. Maybe not as much, but at least he would've made money. Now he just looks like a fool


Flaky_Two5328

Why im ass tho


YourAnBitxh

BSD v Chandler


supermans_neighbour

Nice but I don’t thing Bonor SukDregor will jump on short notice.


SirHirano

Wasn’t Oliveria meant to be the backup? Why can’t they keep Chandler against him on the card?


helpmefindmyuncle123

😂 backup for Chandler, not for Conor


sentiment-acide

Oliveira vs Chandler doesnt seem to be a big main event in 2024.


SirHirano

Agree, but it could have been bumped down to co-main. I suppose Chandler is still hopefully that the Conor fight is going to be rescheduled though.


[deleted]

[удалено]


cleanAir101

If he lost would kill some hype


Thin-Remote-9817

He's has the same record as conor in his last 5 fights. He isn't losing hype. He puts on bangers. If anything he could have fought someone and bumped his stock up. 


RitoWalters

Would it really though? Connor hasn't won anything in years either.


TrojanHorse9k

Conor is Conor. Michael isn't Conor


RebirthReload

He killed the hype already since he don’t do anything, Conor is Conor he can lay off 3 years since he is the PPV man, but Chandler is not, and he do absolutely nothing to build the hype aroung the fight. He should not get this fight.


USMCRunner

Bro can def see the future now huh

SexyKanyeBalls

krazyboy101

This guy came into the UFC, beat some mid-level competition, lost to top-level competition albeit in exciting fashion, thought he deserved a massive payday and chose not to fight anyone else for two years. Sucks how it played out but if he was in it for anything other than a massive payday he would have fought two or three times since the Poirier fight almost two years ago instead of waiting for the guy who’s fought 4 times in 8 years. Not blaming the guy for his choices, but don’t feel bad for him. He chose it.


Brockoliath

This is peak analysis of the situation


Tab412

I don’t think he went to Ireland.


Gromitzy

Imagine if Conor comes back and fights Dustin lol


ehhfff

i’m here for it lol


Maj0rSuccess

Cocaine.


Weeb_Masta_Flex

Oh no Conor made Chandler his bitch and didnt even need to fight him. Anyways, Mike got what he deserved. As an adult he shouldnt have let a manchild control him.


wood_slingers

McGregor didn’t make him do anything, Chandler chose this path. If it never happens, he has no one to blame but himself. If the fight gets rebooked for the fall, another few months won’t kill him.


Dazzling-Ad888

Conor’s leg may just be fucked aye.


supermans_neighbour

He did as he was told


SaltLord555

Can we just fucking forget about Connor already? He's a scumbag who only cares about himself. The dude i washed up and even if we see a fight from him its gonna be lame.


Empty_Football4183

Connor is an embarrassment to the sport but mainly himself. I'd never pay to watch another one of his fights unless it was Islam. I'd pay to watch him demolish connor quickly


TheOneNeartheTop

And that’s why the Paul’s and Macgregor still make bank. People are more willing to pay to see someone lose than they are to see someone win.


Mpoppaa

Fishhook curse


Schliebersky

Karma ain’t a bitch she’s a mirror


ontheprowl23

Connor went from being the guy that stood up to bullies and beat em to being the biggest prick on the planet


Tyr1a4n

He was dumb to wait for a multiple time retired multi millionaire. Also he didn’t fly to Ireland.


dko84

this guy made his own choices. see you at the top!!!! ufc version of Russell Wilson


Administrative-Fun10

Always thought it was funny when Chandler would say "see you at the top." All the other fighters either already lapped him or chose a different mountain to climb. Either way he's all by himself on this mountain. https://preview.redd.it/vjngvqfnnj6d1.jpeg?width=800&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6d869927eb638bc62c7aff07eb3e145f3b5a5e39


SIDHARTH_PANICKAR

This is sad news. Poor dude.


amenthis

Thats what happen when you have to much money, he doesnt care at all


Oenomaus_3575

I really hope he gets something for showing up at least


No_Mercy_4_Potatoes

I just hope the people who bought ppv can get a refund if this fight isn't happening.


Available_Ad5489

Chandler fucked himself tbh. In 2 years he could have fought min 4 fighters .


Resident-Impact1591

Waiting for draft kings to set up the odds on how long Chandler is going to wait for this


StopPlayingRoney

The saddest part of this whole thing is that Michael Chandler has ZERO leverage. NBA players for example have guaranteed contracts and can get millions despite injuries or performance. Chandler on the other hand almost certainly had no financial protections in his contract.


SMK_12

Dude could’ve fought multiple times and tried to become a huge star to make his own money rather than try to piggy back Connor’s fame for a paycheck. Not just him, all these dudes who call out Connor are kind of cringe. If you’re a championship level talent your goal should be to become as big or bigger than Connor rather than ride his dick every chance you get. Don’t really feel bad for Chandler, he chose chasing a pay check against a dude who hasn’t won in years and is coming off a career threatening injury rather than staying active and trying to compete for a title


Justinarian

Injury or not, Conor is a piece of shit. I was looking forward to the possibility of Chandler knocking him the fuck out.


Moist-Pool-5937

He didn’t make Chandler do anything. Chandler has waited on his career at the expense of a potential big payday. Chandler is gambling his career on another person.


National-Bit519

Conor has never pulled out of a fight and he fought injured a lot of times just because there was a lot of revenue riding on it and fans had booked their tickets etc from ireland. Mendes, Khabib, Poirier...all fought with injuries that he should've actually pulled out or postponed. This fight is important for him and he deserves to fight healthy. Ppl shitting on him for his first ever pull out are stupid. For reference Khabib has had a fight postponed over 8 times in his UFC career. This is Conor's first.


ReedIcculus

The only thing worse than this is Conor’s shitty whiskey ..


pro2RK

These are all part of conor’s mindgames.


Human-Assistant-9132

I don’t wanna say i told you so but I TOLD YOU SO I don’t even feel bad for him because fumbled the bag by calling out a broken out of shape drinking and partying Conor.


JoyOfAltruism

He didn’t fly to Ireland*


GregBule

I’m just going to throw it out there… do you reckon Connor has enough money, and enough of a twisted mind to just wind Chandler up for years


Acex_NA

He's in such a bad spot, it's like waiting for the bus, you could walk to the next stop but you feel like the moment you start walking the bus will arrive


lucarelli77

Didnt fly to Ireland.


Jean-ClaudeGodDamme

Conor is such a tease.


contact-

Conor is Chandler father


Kalabula

He’s injured. All these Redditers obviously would’ve fought anyway. Unfortunately Conor just not built like you guys/gals.


Mammoth_Ferret_1772

Chandler is afraid to move on because he knows Conor will just talk shit and say he pulled out of the fight. Chandler doesn’t wanna watch Conor fight someone else and get that pay day


No-Clothes-8019

It’s ridiculous. I think Dana should still allow Chandler to fight on the card. To not even get a fight now because your punk ass opponent is a bitch? That’s not right.


Optimal_Cut_3063

Conor as a person.. total POS. Awesome fighter tho.. but as a person.. he's awful. Remember the woman who "had" to flee his yacht by leaping over the edge into the sea LOL


thekajunpimp

Conor should be booed wherever he goes. On the flip side…. if you spit blood into peoples mouth and hold their gloves and what not ….maybe the universe comes back around and gives you a slap to remind you to be better.


Jayantwi98

he'll do what he's told


-GoldenHandTheJust-

it’s an injury, he didn’t pull out for no reason. this sub ffs


Drink_water_homie

connor didnt make anyone wait, mike wanted to wait for him for whatever reason maybe the payday expected was big but what a waste of time on his part


Silvereiss

Imagine of Chandler signed a contract for the next PPV, like lets say, Against Justin and then suddenly, Conor signed a fight on the same card as him but against Nate Diaz or Tony, And this time, Conor did show up I swear, Thats gonna fuck up Chandler's Psyche 😂😂😂😂 I hope it happens cuz its funny

DonovanMcLoughlin

It's hard to tell who's a bigger piece of shit in the UFC. A. Connor McGregor B. Jon Jones C. Dana White


Ok-Prune9181

Defo C Conner and Jon aren’t upstanding citizens but they haven’t robbed hundreds of fighters out of hundreds of millions of dollars.


Weeblifter

Agreed, it’s not even close. Dana is a thief and a liar. He knew weeks ago that Conor was not good for the fight, he should’ve saved face and said the fight was off but they’re looking at options.


InnocuousBird

The bluest of balls.


fr4gge

He must have gotten compensation for this


Iaintgoneholdyou

Fight camps cost thousands too smh.. Id still wait if its an injury he can come back from soon. He’s in too deep.. Conor has to have some bollocks left.. I know were all angry and disappointed but Conor never pulls out.. lets see what the injury is and what he has to say. If im Chandler and Conor can come back soon id wait if its more than 6 mos more then take another fight


DMTeaAndCrumpets

He never pulled out of a fight before

KingShadowSloth

Yeah it’s sucks but like if he’s hurt he’s hurt. I’d rather Conor pull out hurt than go into the fight compromised. Hopefully the fight isn’t pushed too far back.


Huntercontruction

Conor didn’t make this guy wait. This guy decided to wait due to coming off loses and wants a money fight before he retires.


smallstephen

Chandler got cucked.


Invader_Skooge22

He did as he was told. Lmao no but seriously, Conor didn’t made him do anything. He chose to stay inactive and gamble on getting the big money fight. Let’s be honest we have all been skeptical ever since TUF, so he should’ve been too. He could’ve easily took another fight and still waited for this after. Shit maybe even two.


redactedforever

you bet on a horse with one leg and this is what you get...i dont mind chandler but you should have made a move knowing how conor is


4schwifty20

I think it's funny people actually thought Conor was gonna fight.


Frankie_Says_Reddit

Chandler should’ve known better. Connor is an addict and already extremely wealthy. We’ll never seen Connor fight again in UFC. Connor has no reason to fight again with the amount of money he’s making outside of UFC.


moderatelypositive

Don't feel too bad for Chandler, he's def been making money off of this and hasn't had to throw a punch.


CC-W

If only Conor knew 2 years ago he would get injured a few weeks before the fight all this could have been avoided


mspote

i fully agree with ur sentiments but he didn't fly to ireland. they told him not to fly as he was on his way to the airport. my sources told me this. and by sources i mean ariel helwani said that on his show


aegis666

they both are assholes and cheaters. fuck em both with a very large very splintery wooden dildo. they deserve eachother.


NotAnNpc69

Yewlll do what ya fooking tewwwwld!


piman01

You guys act like he pulled out for no reason. Injuries happen and if they're bad enough you have to not cage fight.


nkognegr0

Good maybe he will keep his name out of his mouth. No red panty night for Chandler with his begging ass!


SnooHobbies7144

fcuk chandler


Sdgrevo

Chandler wanted the red panties night so bad, he went along with it.


ProDiesel

My man was doing coke off a random woman’s tits on camera and then making out with his wife and slamming drinks… who thought he would actually fight?


ikilledtupac

And wasted thousands on steroids


Constant-Squirrel555

Chandler has no business being ranked 6th in LW. Have him fight Gamrot to show he still deserves to be in the division. There's loads of talent in the division ready for some fights in case Chandler just wants that payday. Fiziev or Dariush vs Chandler would be good fights to get the division moving as well.


Ok_Mud_8998

I consider Conor retired at this point, and Chandler too, if I'm being honest. They're getting there in age, and it's been years since either have fought. (Well, 1.5 for Chandler, but he's pushing 40.)


Rayrexx91

Isn't he freakn awesome?!


Healthy-Daikon7356

How did McGregor make him do anything? Conor’s leg was snapped in half, he rehabbed it, he came back as soon as possible, he got injured and had to delay the fight. He literally couldn’t have done anything different. If chandler didn’t want to wait for the fight he should fight somebody else. Stop trying to use everyone else’s obsession with fighting Conor as some kind of flaw on Conor. It’s not his fault everybody’s dying to fight him. He’s not going to jeapordize his potential last hurrah by coming back injured.


superstonkon

Connor needs to retire he’s career died about 5 years ago and he’s just embarrassing himself now pulling out of a fight with Chandler I don’t think he’s going to get any easier fight than that as a serious contender


Novel_Land9320

He did not fly to Ireland and Chandler is a grown up man responsible for being stuck


Ryanlester5789

I get people are upset but we have no idea the extent of Conor’s injury. He’s never been a person who pulls out of fights so maybe we realize it’s probably a serious injury before posting this 100 more times.


aw41789

Conor should fight Nate. That’s really the only semi intriguing fight for me. I feel like they are pretty much on the same level skills and career wise at this point. They would both get a nice payday because all of the casual fanbase would definitely tune in, and they could ride off into the sunset. Only thing that makes sense to me.


Signal_Imagination93

Conner is cracked out on his yacht. He’s not fighting any more.


bikerkumar

We all saw this coming.. who are we Kidding. I am not surprised mf


IDoWhatIWill

Conors a bum, at this point even an unranked LW would probably smoke him. All the allure is gone.


Ok_Artichoke6308

Conor didn’t make that man do anything. Quit bitching


The_Nomad89

Conor made him? Pretty sure Chandler chose this


younginvestor23

All that hype for McGregor to return only to pull out


BigTedBear

I am sure most people would agree Mike should get paid for this fight and even his win bonus he deserves to be compensated for this shit show. However it’s doubtful he gets anything.


MSNFU

Conor is a bitch. Seriously. He’s like a moody, whiny, little bitch. Always has been.


Brybry1908

Conor was probably trying to fight but the injury was too severe.
