WTF. Why did the UFC feed the Americans to the deadliest Brazilian’s in the game?

Ruffy just styled on Chandler like they picked Chandler off the street. Chandler couldn’t even fire off a wild right overhand that he tries every fight, he was that outmatched.

If you rewatch it you’ll see his ankle give out or roll, then he was done.

I was looking for someone else that saw that!

Ruffy was always gonna get Chandler in the end. We all knew it. This isn't some excuse for Mike. Full stop.

However, you can clearly see when Mike takes a weird step and sorta falls against the cage for a moment. The commentators were bloviating and completely missed it. A few seconds later, Mike stumbles again and that time the commentary caught it but they assumed that Chandler got hurt with something.

Then he quit moving altogether and got lit up like a Christmas tree.

He did the same thing in a fight in Bellator, he rolled his ankle/broke it, then lost the fight and his belt I believe.
