11 years fighting in the UFC..Charles deserves that belt..
Candler just got Do Bronx!!!! 22 and Olivera!!!
Charles deserved it more fuck chandler , punk should have fought more before the belt
@@manuelurbina5239 don’t hate on him lol chandler was offered the match and he obviously took it. if you saw the first round it was super intense
@I care ???????????
The belt doesnt go to whoever fights the longest in the UFC. It goes to who can clean out the devision without losing lol
Chandler has insane power, he had Charles more hurt than he has been in a while.
I thought chandler had it, great comeback by olivera in the 2nd round😞
@@zarrarkhan71 me too man, after Chandler got up in that first round. he looked really good, had olivera hurt many times
really shows why mma math doesnt work. Not because there is an example that connects the two fighters, but because this fight could have gone either way and then been used as argument in later match ups.
and?
No disrespect to Chandler but i had a feeling his chin is suspect. I'm not saying i predicted the fight result by any means but still. It's not because Pitbull is a FW btw. Chandler seemed lost when concussed against Brooks also. He must have those Overeem genes because he's always able to do interview afterwards. It's like their brain just shuts off for a second.
Michael Chandler’s the type of guy to give a motivational speech to his boss that just fired him
Candler just got Do Bronx!!!! 22 and Olivera!!!
Too accurate tbh LOL
DUDE💨
👏👏👏
No, no this is a tony type of meme
Michael Chandler always a class act, still a Fan 👏... *Hope Dana makes Justin Gaethje vs Michael Chandler slugfest next*
Candler just got Do Bronx!!!! 22 and Olivera!!!
Gaethje vs Dariush would be better ImO. That slug fest would be great. I say Mike fight the loser of Conor Dustin 3
He will be get fucking KO'd
I think so..
@@Dane233 totally agreed with you. But both of the winner who will get the title shot?
DC’s last words of the broadcast? “We gotta get something to eat”
I died laughing when he said that, I instantly yelled “fat ass” 😂😂
@I care...you must be working overtime posting this stuff on every video.
Dat Texas BBQ
@@ziggyblue782 its cringe lol
Gotta love DC 😂
Michael chandler is the type of guy to lose a fight and give a motivational speech on behalf of Oliveira
Hahaha
Lol
He's a beast, take nothing away from him, Charles is just on another level, Khabib, GSP level
I’m really glad Oliviera won.. there are thousands of fighters like Chandler.. he would be most boring champion of this division... Oliviera bjj Magic and muay thai fire is unique
Iron mike Algud.
Chandler Vs Geathje next sounds like a good fight
Yes winner gets to fight for the belt..Make it happen dana.😘👍
Gaethje eats him alive sadly
yes
Gayche doesn't even deserve to fight for the title
Yep, Bro
Joe " I don't interview KOed fighters, unless I do" Rogan
He was tko
I know right?😝
Who cares at this point lol UFC is making him do them, obviously we know his stance on it
Candler just got Do Bronx!!!! 22 and Olivera!!!
He changed his mind. Move on. Why do people think if you say something once it's set on stone.
What a class act Michael Chandler is huge respect
Chandler's chin: "Im not here for a long time, im here for a good time"
🤣😂🤣😂 Chandler's chin started packing it's bags for the trip back to Bellator.
@@Quantum3691 he didn’t even get ko’d he got tko’d what are you on abiut
HAHAHAHAH
Lets see battle of glass chins Gaethje vs Chandler
@@andrewalvarez4975 he got dropped and had his head bouncing off the canvas
Oliveira has showed that UFC is the highest level of MMA
Bellator is pretty close
It is now but it wasnt always the case
Chandler won the 1st round though. He's clearly a UFC level fighter. UFC has the most amount of elite fighters on their roster but other orgs have elite guys as well, just not as many.
@@NoahCanFB if he is ufc level fighter than let him fight justin dustin than we will have this conversation.
@@peopleschoice1457 lol? How is he not a ufc level fighter? He beat Dan hooker, and won the first round, with that logic anyone who isn’t ranked or even below top 10 isn’t ufc level, how come their in the ufc then?
It's really funny how things change so fast in MMA, like anything can literally happen at the blink of an eye.
@BIG DONGLE Gosh you're cringe.
lol in MMA, what about life? life could change in seconds
BINK!
Yeah fighting is a science but also chaotic. You can only predict to a certain degree.
Nothing changes when it comes to khabib!! Everyone thinks can beat khabib before the fight!! Khabib smashes and wins that doesn’t change
Chandler's mindset and the way he carries himself is inspirational, especially after a loss like that. What a legend.
Chandler the type of guy who told dana to give him another title shot after his lose
Not surprised, he's got Dana white privelages
Reyes, Stipe, Dc already did lmao
That's Justin ! 🤣
Yea it was a good fight.
@Jonathan Sharak bruh u for real or u playin
This was definitely a classic , would love to rewatch it.
What a true professional. The most gracious in defeat ive ever heard! I've gained so much respect for Chandler after listening to that!! 👍👍👏🙌
I dont understand why there is so much hate on this gentleman in the comment sections? Must be some real low life people miserable and unsuccessful in their lives and jealous of a man who takes advantage of the opportunities.
I thought Chandler had it! Just an insane comeback by Olivera! Have a feeling they’ll be seeing each other again later down the line!
Nice profile picture
@@xxx_sista_jud3_xxx Thx man 👍
Chandler won’t get chance now, even if he does, his old body won’t stand a chance
@@TenzinNFT michael chandler will be back and another change (not give up) against justin gaethje. Challenge accepted for title shot himself👍👍👍💪💪💪🙏😇
@@TenzinNFT Some fighters age quicker than other’s. Chandler just turned 35 but the guy is in killer shape, super athletic and explosive like Yoel Romero who is 44 years old and is still competing with the best and he’s been in absolute wars! Chandler has a lot of years left in the tank dude is out there looking like he’s in his prime late 20’s. So I respectfully disagree.
Chandler is a nice fresh breath of air in the game!
What a class act! You got it chandler
@BIG DONGLE He literally said he has class idiot 💀
@BIG DONGLE You’ve done nothing with your life. All you have is talking shit on people who have.
Respect to both guys. A night of fights from humble fighters without the bullshit.
,,SURPRISE SURPRISE ”WILL NEVER SOUND THE SAME.
Now you are surprised How dificult lightweight devition
Wtf does this even mean? yall are weirdos
🥳SEE YOU AT DA TOP👎
Suprise suprise the real king is back on july.
@@jonathansoko1085Surprise Surprise.. Another Over hyped Ben Askren.. Get it now?? There's a new king in town, Charles Oliveira...
Chandler is always a professional. Love that guy so much
Very humble guy,that's why I love him and his fights since he was in bellator
Chandler almost won the fight in round 1, but got too reckless and shouldn't have done ground and pound damage because Oliviera got the chance to recover, and the way Chandler escaped the submission attempts was superb... Excited to see him fight again, good man.
👏👏👏
💪
Was frustrating to see him attempting ground and pound on Oliveira near the end of the 1st round. If he would've let him back up he might have been able to finish him on the feet. Poor decision by Chandler.
Chandler has always good in defending submissions. Never been submitted in his whole career. He is the perfect match for Oliviera. I don't think Poirier and gaetjhe has a chance against Oliviera and even Mcnugget.
Two powerful and talented sports Man *Let's be Again 🔥💥*
*Mark my words the belt will be changing like a hot potato 🥔 in this division for a while !*
It always has in the lightweight division. Tell me 1 long reigning champ lol
DAM NEAR💔
Glad khabib retired I'm enjoying this Lightweight division now
@Sanji Sahlan be beats Charles and Chandler in one night lol ! Just give 30 min break and lil bit drink water .. it's done
@@divyjain123456 Khabib, BJ, Edgar
People calling Chandler overhyped but yet he gave Charles one of his toughest fights in recent memories
He will beat himself up the rest of his life (if he never wins belt) for not letting Charles up. Still looked great he will definitely be back
Like Burns
Charles beat him standing up tho LOL
Knowing the man, he would not care much after his retirement. UFC is an entertainment sport not an Olympic.
He would of defen knocked him out if he let him stand up, being in the guard while being hurt is not that bad comparing to standing up...
@@danielbaldovino415 its because, he rocked charles in the first round, so if he gets back on his feet he'll still feel the damage, after the round ends, the fighter can compose himself.
You just can't hate Chandler no arrogance nothing on him nd it's not the first time he lost he knows how it feels...he will come back stronger.
🤞
Mad respect for Chandler. Despite never having fought in the UFC before, he pulled off a 10-8 round and was SOOOO close to finishing it in the first. The man's power, physique, and wrestling are just insane. Chandler turns 36 in about a week but he's clearly got some good years left in him and I have a feeling this won't be the last time he fights for the lightweight belt, no matter if it's against Oliveira or not. That all being said, congrats to the man who has waited longer than ANYONE for that belt. Oliveira's gotta be on the top of the world tonight and he earned it.
Wanted Chandler to Win , But happy for Oilvera to Finally get UFC Strap
Me too
Its tought when you like both fighters. Only the weird haters dont like chandler, those people are weird
@Ne NesiHorado1 💪
This match shows how difficult ufc really is but I still think if khabib wouldn't have retired he would never lose a fight that man was an animal.
I don't know who you are, but I sincerely wanna thank you for such a wonderful comment. I totally second you on that!!
would be awesome seeing Oliveiras bjj vs Khabibs grappling
Man Chandler seemed to have the full force of the machine backing him to win this belt. Had the hype. The promotion. You never know what could happen here
Literally just like Rousey vs Nunes
@@erick7704 except Nunes didn’t almost get ko’d
Now Poirier beat Mchicken again and win the belt hes the real champion of that division
He was beaten him on the ground and on the feet he got caught it happens
Yep,that's why I've watched for 17 yrs.don't blink you'll miss it.
All of you clowns talking smack about chandler is just sad. The dude is one of the best fighters in the world and put on an excellent fight tonight. Him vs Gaethje once Mike's recovered is the fight to make now 💯. Oliveira vs McGregor/DP will be 🔥
The Chael Sonnen curse continues! It's literally the kiss of death when he chooses a fighter
He better not choose Nate Diaz in his upcoming fight.
Usman beat it twice like it was nothing. That’s how much of a beast he is. Rose beat it too.
Chandler, after he retires will be commentating beside Daniel Cormier in UFC.
Hope he replaces Joe Rogan
of course, his voice quality is really good.
@KingDiamonds1 hes not a very good commentator ,the izzy vs jan fight is one example
Mike Chadler the man 100% heads up brother your get it again.
Olly olives literally can back from the depths of the pit.incredible comeback
Respect to Chandler, but I guess he's a here for a long time now 😂
EXACTLY
'he's a here' tho
@@NC-hi8zb How much do grammar police earn, I'm just curious
@@acceptancebelieves1908 We do it not for money but for the thrill of the game.
Yes ..Title is now very Far away from Chandler
The thing about fighters like this are that they are real fighters. A real warriors mentality is this. A Lion. Respect.It’s not accepting defeat, It’s appreciation for the experience.
I believe when he says he's gonna wear that belt. Dude just has that presence and the skills do great things with that championship.
Chandler is becoming one of my favorites.
"Surprise surprise there's a new Chad Mendes in town!" - Michael "who the fook am I?" Chandler
So I’m not the only one lmao, I knew this guys reminded me of chad mendes!! His looks, fighting style, wrestling lmao
Also Frankie Edgar and Matt Hughes
NO WAY👎
Not Matt Hughes. His stand up sucked
@Vix 99 Chandler got finished the same way he finished Hooker lol, the irony.
What a roller coaster of emotions this fight
It’s crazy how Charles knocked him out but Chandler nearly dominated him on the ground. Anything can happen holy shit
This proves that khabib would beat oliveira
@@CasinoEZ I agree with you and Khabib has a lot of dishonest haters that say he wouldn't beat them but this proves that he would destroy them both easily
@@CasinoEZ Of course Khabib is on the next level and i'm very sure that he still Undefeated right now also in this next four years if he stay in UFC.
@@HELAD Khabib haters is usually a non muslims who hates Islam so yeah of course he have a lot of haters and The fact Khabib is The Best Fighter in UFC so far but you know his haters can't accept that.
@@ZERO-X79 I'M not a muslim but l'm a huge fan of Khabib and i think a lot of experts like you and many fans would agree that Oliveira looked great and Chandler but both would easily get dominated by Khabib
I been telling people that Chandler wasnt used to UFC compétition yet despite being a Bellator legend. 1 Win in the UFC and championship shot was too soon. If he wouldve won it would have been insulting to Lightweight Vétérans to be Honest. So happy for my boy Charles! People been sleeping on him. I hope we get to see him against Dustin
Same here, i've been telling ppl Chandler only had a puncher's chance, i just wasn't sure if Charles would get hit or if he did if his chin would hold up, it did fortunately ;)
@@klefthoofrobert787 ?? A punchers chance?? And yet he dominated Charles in the first, in both the grappling sequences and stand-up. Charles won because of his superior fight IQ and a slight bit of "puncher's chance", technically they're on similar levels at what they do best specifically.
@@JohnPaul-qr4gg Nah man, he didn't dominate anything in grappling he had a small 10 second window where he caught Charles in a guilotine and indeed that puncher's chance almost happened in the 1st, but other than that he dominated and showed heart and championship mentality and got it done :)
@@klefthoofrobert787 both had their "puncher's chance", however Charles's sequence prevailed. Chandler objectively was the superior grappler today (largely because of his explosiveness and strength), and was the better striker in the first. But Olivera got his shot and exploited it because of his superior fight IQ, imo.
There's a new king in lightweight division. Khabib..beat me if you can See you at the top! Charles Oliveira: Ok. 😊
wow wow, you still remember all these sentence.
Khabib im coming for your Charles : ok🥰
Khabib retired because he was losing his mojo. One of the most overrated UFC fighter.
@@SSJOMI Khabib would destroy both of them easily , Be honest with yourselfs idiots
@@HELAD no if weight cut destroy him first
Really starting to like this dude. So humble even in defeat. Wish him the best and can’t wait to see him again in the octagon.
Chandler Tko'd My boi Tony even more washed up DC still Hungry What a crazy event 🔥🔥
RIGHT🤩
😂
I do not think Tony will fight again in UFC. The man is done.
I feel for him man, he did nothing wrong but this loss gives people an excuse to dismiss his credentials and say that he didn't deserved this title shot. When there was no one else to give that shot in the first place.
Logical people aren’t dismissing his skill rather pointing out that it appears he was no where near ready for a top guy in the top organization. He was fortunate to make it out of the first
I mean there was someone else to give the shot to in the first place. The ufc asked Dustin to fight Charles for the belt but he wanted Conor instead
It’s all the casuals and I don’t like saying that but it is that are discrediting Micheal after this fight
@@Isa-us8sd to an extent a small amount of discrediting may be valid. Chandler put on a act . He’s never so emotional leading up to fights. Played the bad guy at the face off. And even after Dana put the media train ion him ... he still didn’t manage to pull through . Casuals is thrown around too often and a good amount of the times it comes as a projection who don’t deal in logic or reason. But I’m emotion and opinion.
@@cuetlachtlip1398 What are you talking about he could have finished it if he let him back up
He ain't got it tonight but I hope we see more of him and he ain't thrown to the wayside as a failed hype train.
With the casual audience it’s already happened unfortunately. 1 single loss and people tend to switch sides. Just look at Izzy and Jan unfortunately
@@juliandavis9711 people already turning on Chandler on social media even though he’s been nothing but classy. Shows how fickle our fan base really is
@@KoC2 extremely unfortunate
Ufc fans can be so pathetic and fickle, if Chandler won everyone would have been raving over how amazing he is and no one would be saying shit about Charles 😂 I'm glad the man who deserved it got it though for once.
Yeah that would be casual BS. Chandler is a great fighter and needs more fights in the UFC to prove the doubters wrong. I hope there is a rematch between Chandler and Oliveira.
Michael Chandler class act, handled that loss like a true champ, humble didn’t make any excuses, respect 💯🫡
I met Charles Oliveira and his coach in Vancouver once after a loss. He is super classy and his coach said Oliveira would be champ. So many years later, I'm happy to see he got it done and defended.
@BIG DONGLE What made me a fan of his on the contrary.
Chandler will now find out how the Ranking system works 😂 If your name isn’t Conor McGregor you don’t get a instant rematch 🤣
🥳
Who did Conor get an instant rematch against? Poirier? Poirier chose to fighter Conor again for the money, and Poirier isn’t even champ. He rematched Nate, but again that was a non-title money fight. Never rematched Khabib. Chandler doesn’t deserve a rematch and nobody would expect him to get one, so what are you talking about?
@@seanmatthewking Sounds like you’re defending Conor all I’m saying is no one else in the division gets his special kind of treatment….Khabib and Tony fell through 3 times Conor throws a dolly through a bus injuring a fighter (Removing him from a card) and got charges pressed….Fight still goes on
@@tj8002 did khabib jump a fighter and then started a brawl in the crowd still kept the title right? Or the fact there’s fighters who’ve been caught using peds, but only get suspended so what’s your point.
He is well aware of the ranking system of all MMA organizations. Bellator is not a joke. He is not asking for instant rematch, and he probably will not fight Charles for the title shot.
welcome to UFC Chandler 🎉🔥🙌
The way charles Oliveira engange in the stand up fight reminds me of jose Aldo's approaches. Especially with the knee movement. Respect to both
There is something that you recognize from true champions before they become one. This man is a champion and has the spirit of it. All my Respect to him.
I think he will definitely be champion before he is through with the sport.
Hard to say man.. He is good but not that good.. There are atleast five or maybe more fighters who are at his same level or higher...
@@tinman9193 hard to say? nah. the division is deep within the top 10 and Chandler is comfortable in the top 5 of those 10. he will be champion. count on it.
I hope not the guy is Cringe
@@mikebipping6166 hmmm ya he lost just now hmm soo let's see let's see.. Not saying he can't but hard to say that he will be for sure.. All this guys are at the same level and any of those guys can beat him n he might beat them too but the thing is he just lost n I don't see him beating someone like CONOR the same goes for Charles if u got glass jaws it might take only one hit from CONOR to break it just praying that Dustin will keep CONOR away from the belt fight if not CONOR is taking the belt forget about Chandler lol..
11yrs to be the 11th Champion, De Bronx really deserved the Belt.
Handled it perfectly
Man Chandler is a solid dude. I already fan of Chandler but today's fight made him like more..Huge respect for fighters
THIS FIGHT WAS SO GOOD !
You are right
Michael had him!! He needed to be more patient and bro! Head movement!!!! Geesh.
I'm glad he was very respectful, gave props to the new champ. Didn't make excuses but said he will get better and will get after it again. Respect.
All class from Chandler. Chucky Do Bronx the new King of Lw.
It was a close one, fellas. Chandler almost had him, but almost was not enough. It feels bad to lose after such advantage, he could smell the blood in the water, too bad that fish was too big to fry. Better luck next time, Chandler. It was a true entertainment to watch you fight tonight
Damn, what a sportsman!
he reminded me of Dustin poirier when he said we're gonna run it back and his accent on his press conference post fight a couple times haha
Class and grace
What a great performance by Chandler! So unlucky. Come back champ!
Great performance? He got KO’d 5 seconds in to the 2nd round of a 5 round fight by a Jiu Jitsu guy, I’d hate to see a bad performance.
@@Shiesty-420- If you think Charles is just a "Jiu-Jitsu guy" then you have to watch more MMA. And I'm guessing you didn't even watch the full fight.
@@DiamondWhip I’m not sleeping on his striking but there’s a reason he has the most subs in the division
“Charles knocked me out my dad bootstraps”
Oliveira and Chandler..... big fighters, big men, big respect. They are very good example of sportsmanship and respect. I loved the moment when Oliveria entered the cage and went to shake hands with Chandlers and his team, as well as the reaction of Chandler at his loss. Great people both. Huge fight
The belt is about to be switched pretty often now
People saying gaethje vs mike are sleeping on gaethje he's a really tough dude and the leg kicks from gaethje will leave chandler on the ground floor a long time.
Such a class act! Can’t wait to see him bounce back from this loss
great fight, happy new tony is the champ. Chandler was really impressive, dude is a beast. Can't wait to see his next fight with either justin/dustin/connor
I'm not a big fan of Chandler but that's a very classy tribute to Charles. Nice one 👍
Why not? Gimmie a reason to not be
Idk man. He’s definitely growing on me.
@@jonathansoko1085 Calling khabib a pussy for no reason.
@@jonathansoko1085 Don’t like him personally. Just sorta cringe. Fine as a fighter and I’m sure he’s a good guy. Similar as Usman. Just rubs me the wrong way, so I wish him to lose. Not a big deal but people get so triggered when you don’t like someone they like.
Make him vs Gaethje it will be the biggest fight in history!!!
I was a fan of Justin now i want him to get hurt
No it won’t lol
Fight dagestan first
Very classy. #respect . Made a new fan in Brazil
Hell of a fight!!Both guys are awesome!!Boy was I wrong!!Great fight Michael,And Great Job Champ!!!
Michael "Lot of highs, couple of lows" Chandler needs to be pulled up by his bootstraps
He zagged when he should have zigged
@@prabum7179 glad someone else is noticing that this guy is scripted as hell.. 😂😂
Dana privilege doesn't work inside the octagon
You are a champ man..Hopefully you will comeback strongly!
Classy guy man. Handled it well
Cant wait till Olives and Poirier fight🙌 Chandler and Justin next.
Joe Rogan: I’ll never interview TKO’d fighters ever again. Also Joe Rogan:
This isnt Joe Rogans decision, you aren this dumb are you?
@@jonathansoko1085 you might be right, he may not have made the call himself to do it. But the point went right over your tiny head. If you listened to any JRE from a couple years ago you’d know how adamant Joe was on not interviewing fighters after a KO when Overeem embarassed himself in the Stipe interview. Go renew your Spotify membership u casual 🤣
@@Jeremy-yh8lv im absolutely right. If your boss tells you to do something, you do it. Im sure joe doesnt like it but if they say you have to then hes gonna do it
The ability to compliment his opponent "charles Olivera" for the adversity he put him through just the round before is one of the most humble flexes ever. Nothing but Respect for both of them. Class acts all around
I love how he gave credit by complimenting Charles's career earlier only to compliment himself in the long run...they both have time in this game and deserve their recognition
"Hey I'm at the top. Where you at? I can't see you anywhere?" - Charles Oliveira
Micheal Chandler Still my favourite. See you at the top.
@BIG DONGLE Stop it. Any fighter can get knocked out from a punch like that.
@BIG DONGLE Let’s Give him a another chance. He Belongs to MMA from so many years he Is a MMA legend. He gonna climb it to the top.
@BIG DONGLE Lol , you are so negative. Appreciate art and the artist .
Chandler the type of guy to win a fight and then let it continue until he loses..
BIG DONGLE bout wut? I’m not a Chandler fan at all
I heard rematch and my eyes lit up
Congrats to olivera for the UFC lightweight championship win big respect to Michael Chandler for always staying classy in defeat
My man got Ariel Brendan schaub and chael curse. This was bound to happen.
Chandler reminds me of Homelander from The Boys
Hahaha I see it 🤣
Charles deserves everything ❤
Tony Ferguson is the type of guy to lose and win the belt at the same day.
Jajajaja 😁
TWIN WINS🤗
Well his hype got shut TF down tonight! Lmao
I know this is off topic but at ufc 263 we have Izzy vs vettori 2 devison vs Moreno 2 and Leon vs Nate we are getting soo many stacked and just action packed cards man
Keep your Head up your Chance and Day will come one Day!!
Dana to the UFC embedded team: "let's promote the good looking American kid with the big flashy muscles more, I think he'll be a more marketable champion." Olivera: "I think I'll go ahead and be the ACTUAL champion." 😁
DAWG DAM🥳
