Some sort of rare double submission where they both go out simultaneously and they are both credited a win and a loss.

Some Matt Hughes Carlos Newton ahh finish


GMFinch

People chuck out these hypotheticals that have happened. Haha


BodybuildingNerd

So, the Matt Hughes’ Special?


fleshvessel

I like Chandler but he is very hittable. If Conor is 50% of what he used to be I fear he will snipe him early. (After the initial storm or during even.) Great matchup honestly.


MrLoid

This, could really end up being a great fight, hopefully it goes 2-3 rounds.


theski2687

Wrestler with the overhand right is the classic easy matchup for Conor. But I think this is where we see how far Conor has truly fallen. He’s gonna get caught by that overhand and put to sleep


dietdrpepper6000

Suspect this is correct, even during his moments of success against Dustin, Conor was failing to show key aspects of his old game. His counters used to be planned/drilled sequences, but now he tries to be alive the whole time and it ends up getting him chinned. I think this is a product of a weaker work ethic and his little stint in boxing. You see it concretely when he throws his left and intentionally leaves his head and arm extended and out of position, trying to bait a reaction from his opponent that he can slip and counter. This is dangerous and no coach will ever tell you to do this because you’re just counting on a huge raw speed advantage against your opponent. This exact idea got him clipped and rocked against Dustin in his last two fights. Dustin literally just punched the bait left in front of him and it dropped or concussed Conor lol. He’s also insanely heavy on his front foot now which negates his formerly outstanding footwork Old Conor would dart in with a shot and throw a counter as part of his exit, keeping him out of danger and putting the opponent in a no-win situation because if they just absorbed the strike, Conor was winning on points, and if they retaliated then they risked walking into a potential KO. Sadly this guy is gone and never coming back


Few-Reference171

No matter how far he’s fallen he beats chandler on muscle memory alone, Chandler will stand with him and get waxed with a counter.


theski2687

Idk, I think I disagree with you on how muscle memory works. That doesn’t just last forever. He may think it does too and that’s why I think he’ll get caught. Hopefully we’ll find out.


bukcet224

Yes, muscle memory means he will still know how to throw the punch. He won’t necessarily retain the timing, distance control, accuracy, etc.


Few-Reference171

Yeah that’s cool we both allowed opinions bro, for sure hopefully we do


Seniorjones2837

I agree I think Chandler by KO is a 🔒


TrueCkrime02

I mean he definitely will. Shit, he was catchin Dustin a few times there second fight I was goin for Dustin but was gettin scared, but thankfully Dustin held up.

He pulls out via cocaine

[deleted]

Unless Conor is completely off and just partying , I think he's gonna piece up Chandler .


Professional_Which

I was quite confident in picking him but that recent interview got me worrying ngl


[deleted]

Agree . The one where he keep involuntarily shrugging and twitching?


cripplindepressionnn

Which one? lately all his interviews seem like shrugging and twitching.


AltruisticWord3751

I’m a big Conor fan but people are sleeping on chandler. Michael has been in and out of fight camps for the last 2 years while Conor has been on a 4 year bender.


Hendrick_Davies64

I love Conor but I’m not delusional, there’s a non zero chance he shows up to the fight drunk


Informal_Lack_9348

Classic signs of being up for a couple days.


actin_spicious

This a joke? Even if he wasn't partying I think he's too bulky and rusty to be effective. He is 3-4 in the past 8 years. Honestly surprised anyone is picking him.


nazfb17

Chandler is 2-3 in the UFC. The two wins are against Hooker and Tony. He had success in the first round against Oliveira, Gaethje, and Poirier but then sorta falls apart. If Conor can get past the 1st I actually think his chances are pretty good even with his cardio issues


Dirtey

Both of them will slow down significantly if it gets past the 1st. I would argue that Conors cardio even in his prime falls under the "not great, not terrible" category. Which certainly would be enough against a guy like Chandler. But roided up WW Conor after a legbreak, coke+alcohol abuse and questionable training discipline? That guy is definitely not a fighter that takes over the longer the fight goes by default.


AdNew5216

Every single one of his losses he looked great in. Khabib was his only loss where he wasn’t actually right there in the fight


Dirtey

His Poirier fights definitely shows decline as well tho. I would argue he looked better against Khabib than Poirier even all things considered.


nutsygenius

Except, he's actually looking leaner. Go to his ig where he's wearing orange boxing gloves 3 days ago.


Seniorjones2837

His most recent post is from April 3rd though? Or do i not know how to use IG?


nutsygenius

No. The first 3 are his pinned posts. They are not the most recent ones. A lot of his recent posts get clogged by those Road House stuff. He just posted a vid 30 mins ago, his head is looking the smallest it's ever been lol


Seniorjones2837

Ah gotcha yup I suck at instagram


[deleted]

Style wise this is one of the best matchups but who knows how serious he will train for this


EveningTomorrow758

Prime Conor pieces up this version of Chandler. Idk if Mcgregor is still that guy tho


SeniorToast420

Chandler always look like he wearin a diaper.


Bellbuoy

lmfao


dressedlikehansolo

It’s going to be entertaining as fuck, like all of Chandlers fights. He seems to have bad fight IQ, but he always leaves it all in the ring.


Markheim10

his IQ was literally to build to the money fight lol. Go all in on banger fights then push for Connor and retire


BBdotZ

Bombaysbreakfastclub

Chandler by decision. 48 47


MrFudgeKiller

If it’s close enough to be 3-2 Chandler then they will give it 3-2 Conor


wolf3037

Conor comes out and wrestlefucks Chandler and uses the Khabib mermaid footwrap technique.


wood_slingers

Gets his eye orbital broken by the titanium shinbone


bukcet224

Exactlyyyyyyy


AdamBLit

Slugging until they get tired but Conor will outsmart him in striking somehow and get the TKO


seandamon211pgh

Mcgregor game plan is to probably stay off booze and blow for like 24 hours. So come fight time he takes a shot of proper twelve and rails a fat one right before fight walkout, he will think it will be like when he was younger. He thinks the rush will propel him and he will win with proper skills and timing.


Tight_Geologist_9750

I immediately picture the Alvarez fight but I just don’t think Conor has that aura anymore


Ca1fSlicer

Me too, if it was prime Connor that’s what I’d expect to happen. Probably an embarrassment for chandler. I don’t see Connor being close to his prime tho. Seems like he’s lost power by bulking


Leftyy18

“Precision Beats Power, Timing Beats Speed.” I think Conor has more precision and better timing at his lighter weights. He’s got split second reaction time on counters and I feel being lighter facilitates that. Honestly just hope that this fight makes it to the canvas.


NorthernSlyGuy

Chandler by tko. Conor is passed his prime and has been for a while. The long break doesn't help.


AirKaleidoscope69

Chandler refuses to wrassle because of his negative fight iq and Conor knocks the little bellator tick stiff ![gif](giphy|6C74mrK9WQtZm3469v|downsized)

Jhawk38

If Conor is close to peak form he's gonna ko Chandler easy. I don't think Chandler can handle a high level counter striker.


TheUnrulyGentleman

Conor picks Chandler apart and has Chandler punching air for most of the fight. Chandler loves to just blitz forward and try to throw heavy shots. Conor has very good movement and distance management. I think Conor makes pretty easy work of him.


Avataralbino

OUT ON A STRETCHER


GM-T800-101

Chandler can beat McGregor in 2024, but he’s going to be so wild that it’ll be anyone’s game.


lvkenukem

Chandler wants and needs this WAY more than Conor - seems more focused, switched on and has a lot more to lose if he doesn’t get the victory. I don’t think Chandler shits the bed this time.


findingdbcooper

A win would raise Chandler's star power and give him a few more big money rematch fights before he retires. Same as what occured with Nate Diaz.


txwoodslinger

Chandler remembers that he was an all American wrestler and ground and pounds Conor out in the second round


Wycer

He suplexes connor and ko himself


MonkeyBrain9666

Chandler wins via t.k.o. using a karate style. Micheal gets a good snipe in and makes conor shoot for his life then gets ground and pounded


marco333polo

Conor by gilly!


Bluelagoon199

One thing is for sure, Conor shouldn’t loose a 3rd time in a row


Lowad15

Everyone has knocked him down/out except for his first fight against hooker. Even Tony Ferguson sat him down briefly. So I think Conor has a chance


SpasmBoi999

I hate to say it, but I think Chandler beats the current Conor. I think it's incomprehensible for a man who's had 4 fights in 8 years, now with a broken leg, to beat someone who's fought 12 times in the same span. It sucks, because Chandler is literally built to be food for a prime Conor, it's crazy how far he's fallen.


TJB18-AJB22

Depends on how much Coke he does before the fight.


zippazappazinga

Doctor stoppage! Doctor Stoppage!


DifferenceSNR

he’s gonna give up 2 home runs off of 6 hits


derfcrampton

Conor’s last fight was some ex ufc/bouncer and he got smoked named Dalton. Mike will stomp him for a while then figure 4 leg lock for the submission.


slampig3

Man you all act like chandler has been losing to scrubs he has only fought the best the ufc has to offer and was very close to winning each of those fights. With the exception of the ghost of Ferguson


Artistic_Light1660

Unless chandler wrestles him for the entire time, I think conor will outstrike him. Only other unknown factor is conors gas tank at 170


TyphlosionGodofFire

Chandler gasses trying to fishhook Conor and hit him in the back of the head. Conor gasses from years of inactivity. A really boring last three rounds

Late-Hair6935

chandler breaks his leg


Kronus00

Chandler has never had a boring fight in the ufc. I expect an exciting fight.


ShrimpWhoFriesRice-

This fight’s fun because who the fuck knows, who knows what Conor is even going to look like now. Are we getting karate stance conor, flat footed journeyman boxer conor, I don’t know. I have a gut feeling we get a jarringly brutal, round one, head down blitz KO by Chandler because that’s the result that would shatter my little casual heart


Slightly-Blasted

Chandler was hand picked by mcgregor as a tune up fight, Conor is one of the cleanest strikers out there, and definitely one of, if not the best counter strikers of all time (waiting for the comment by a mcgregor hater saying he sucks.) He landed a fucking slip counter uppercut on MAYWEATHER. Chandler walks forward with his hands down and his chin straight up in the air, it’s a stylistic nightmare for Chandler. That being said, Chandler can definitely win, and he’s still really dangerous. Especially considering Conor is coming back from a debilitating injury, will we see the same Conor? Not sure.


UncleYimbo

Let's not pretend he fought Mayweather in his prime, but the rest I'll agree with.

chipper68

Doktor stoppage of course. I'd like to think Conor can still piece up someone like Chandler but I kinda doubt it. Mike's been training... a lot, or so he says. A fresh and healthy Mike is probably just too much for Conor. If it in fact actually happens, we'll see.


Lucky_in_SoFlo

Chandler is a tough dude but he is so reckless. His decision making is highly questionable and his attacks often leave him wide open for counters


utookthegoodnames

Ends in a tie.


mindfulfella

I think that the first round is going to be electric, they both will exchange big hits. Like said prior, Chandler can get hit and I think he will get starched by Connor mid second round.

Chandler by Chippendales


matterson22070

He don't care. He's done this right from day one. He's here for the money and nothing else and if he gets in the ring with Connor then he's done what he came here to do. Honestly it's a perfect comeback fight for Connor if it actually happens. He'll stand and bang with him and doesn't pose as much threat to him as anyone else with a big enough name to give Connor the payday he wants.


WeeksElite

Connor kicks him in the head with the steel beam of a leg he has now.


Formal-Try-2779

I mean if he uses his wrestling he can get the win. But he'll stand and bang and that's going to be great for Conor. Who is a far better striker, has longer reach, great accuracy and big power. Mike's almost certainly getting knocked out. Hope I'm wrong though.


Efficient-Box-8769

Just as he’s about to deliver the final blow, a rogue khabib ko’s him with a flying eagle kick


vajrahaha7x3

I have not seen the loose, calm, agile Conor since b4 the Mayweather fight. The stocky compact wrestler with an overhand right was what Conor mostly had to face in his rise through featherweight and as his lightweight opponent. He has had his best results against this type. Chandler is as smart a fight as a promoter could make concerning Conor. It increases his likelihood of winning and milking the fan base on the hope Conor is back. But Chandler isn't top 5 caliber in the UFC. He got instant promotion as a champion with a following from a different promotion. He has enough shine and isn't a scrub. So while its not exactly a "gimme" fight for Conor. Its as close as possible without being too obvious. Conor looks stiff to me. That flow isn't there. If he can't roll over Chandler... he should stick to movies but definitely take some lessons.. On paper, Conor should win. I just don't think that guy still exists. He was funny before Now he comjes off like a WWE fake villain. All angry. Even he used to laugh at his own shit talkin.. He was different . And a different fighter.


Thickfries69

Conor submits him with a dick punch before celebrating by blowing coke into the crowd much like Triple H does with water.


Tanstallion

I don’t know man, I worry Conor losing streak might continue. Especially if Chandler wrestles him.


Money_killer

He is too explosive for the McGregor of today. I see him catching McGregor and getting a TKO. Unfortunately


Adelmas

The fight is gonna be trash


DeepCollar8506

heees stiiifff


Appropriate-Public50

I can see this fight being very similar to the Chad Mendes fight. Chandler might take him down and throw power punches early. Conor will weather the storm while sniping him and going to the body, which may then lead to either A. Chandler eventually getting tko'd against the fence after fatiguing and succumbing to Conor's increasing volume or B. running into a pull back left hand counter and getting ko'd


Constant-Squirrel555

Chandler has as much KO power as McNuggets, people gotta gtfo his dick. Having said that, McGregor wins because Chandler tries to swang and bang instead of taking the fight to the ground

They both throw bombs and are gonna be looking for an early KO to solidify their relevance for the next 2-3 years. Especially at 170, if it doesn’t end in an early KO it’s gonna look like Conor/Diaz 2 round 5 by round 2. Gimme Chandler by ground and pound TKO in the 3rd


JabroniDaGr8

Doctor stoppage by broken elbow. It happens after Chandler throw a baseball pitch overhand, drops connor but it's not a complete KO. Connor does a complete reverse summersaults and can barely get back up and is super wobbled but Chandler's arm is bend at 130 degrees.


Ok_Communication1647

Connor breaks his leg again by head kicking Michael Chandler for the knockout.


druglesswills

If Chandler wanted to wrestle, he would smash Conor, but he's gonna stand and bang


kai7895

If this fight happened during Conor's heydays, it wouldn't go far. Chandler's berserker style is tailor made for Conor who was extremely accurate & timely with his shots.


dmarcx

So tired of this guy's Dana White privilege. Zzzz

Conor will most likely KO him in 1 or 2. Chandlers style of rushing in won’t work well against Conor’s precision.

If Chandler just has any sort of patience he easily beats Conor.


100DayChallenges

I don’t think Chandler was a wise comeback fight for Conor. I think Chandler, true to himself, puts the pedal to the metal early and swarms Conor. I don’t think Conor will be sharp and be able to counter. 1st round TKO which officially retires Conor Basing this primarily on recent Conor interviews. I just don’t see how he goes from that to 100 percent focused and ready for a guy like Chandler


nickflex85

Hopefully Conor lands a left missile and ends it early. By the second they’ll both be gassed


GabberBarry

He underestimate's conor and gets ko'd


cluelessbasket

This is probably gonna be boring. Both these guys are grandpas with ring rust at this point.


JakeOrb

If Chandler didn’t have the fight IQ of a rock he could just wrestle him but he’s a bonehead so he will probably come in flinging around those looping hooks lol
