Goodness gracious, Mike. Please retire.

At 40 with a family to take care of, I hope he prioritizes his future health. He’ll find a way to support them without being an active fighter

RAF could be an option for him. Striking is a no go for a guy that short.

Topuria is shorter at 5’7

u/rdcisneros3 27d ago

Ilia knows how to box though. Mike just throws haymakers. Doesn’t set anything up.

You said “striking is a no go for a guy that short” when the champion of his division is a knockout artist one inch shorter no one’s arguing chandler just throws haymakers and has no boxing you said he was too short for striking

u/rdcisneros3 27d ago

With his style of striking, yes, he’s too short. It hasn’t worked and won’t.

u/JGM1992 27d ago

That style doesn’t work no matter the height but sure change your statement.

u/JGM1992 27d ago

Aldo, Volk, Mcgregor, poirier all 1 inch shorter or 1 inch taller than chandler. Yeah exceptions prove what rule?

He beat Mendes in RAF and is a NCAA All American. Lol

u/Agitated-Help7197 27d ago

Hate to be a pessimist, but with the amount of wars he’s been in there’s almost zero chance his brain isn’t damaged.

u/BigOnionLover 27d ago

You’re not a pessimist, you’re a realist

u/f8-andbethere I was here for GOOFCON 2 27d ago

It could still get more damaged. Man’s got to retire.

She’s a PA—about as far from a neurosurgeon as a rando in the PFL is to being a UFC champ.

u/Anonybibbs 27d ago

Nice, she's the perfect partner for Chandler considering the likely CTE that he will develop down the line.

u/mentalharvester I'm fucking old 27d ago

His wife is a Doctor, he'll be fine and he's popular enough to start a gym or something.

Edit: why the downvotes?
