How is Hooker vs. Chandler a co-main event?

FFS. Be 5.30 or later for McG

He’s due to walk at 5.15



I don’t think arriving early is a massive deal with the Abu Dhabi set up. Fighters are next door and have area to warm up, roll, pads, etc

They don't need a heavy-hitting co-main when Conor's in the building.

Although I love the Chandler v Hooker fight

The Floyd p

Cracker on now! Come on The Hangman, comes across like a nice lad and he's some scrapper.

I think the bigger question is how the 3 fights before it were on the main card of a PPV in the positions they were in (JoJo Vs Eye probably could sneak into the first 5 of a PPV card).

Considering there's no title fights on this card, I would consider it a solid Co-main event.

I like Calderwood but she stands ZERO chance in a fight against Valentina. I'm sure Valentina could beat both Calderwood and Eye in a 2v1 fight.

Was just saying the same thing.
Valentina would crush them in a handicap match.

Has Conor worn a mask yet?

The embedded lead up had him wearing a mask several times around the hotel.

Plenty of times. He was wearing one when he arrived at the W hotel for the first time.

Everyone within the bubble is tested and cleared of Covid, so why would anyone need to wear a mask anyway?

I can see Hooker catching him with a knee as Chandler shoots for a takedown.

It was just a question/observation..

The Floyd p

I wish Chandler entered the UFC sooner, he's so physically gifted that seeing a younger man there instead of in Bellator would have been so cool.

Had one when he first arrived. Quarantined in the hotel room for first 2 days

McGregor by Sub

Lads we're something like 300+ posts on this thread so far an Conor hasn't fought yet. I thought Conor's popularity was at rock bottom according to some on the MMA sub.

What an arrival!

Well that was quick enough.

peejay1986

Wow :eek:

RoryMac

Wow Chandler destroyed Hooker there

EagererBeaver

He's no Will Brooks, that's for sure.

Absolute statement for his debut.

mdwexford

Damnnnn

Levels to this and Chandler is above Dan Hooker.

Jesus what a hit

Poirier by Sub

I had a feeling Chandler would do it

Hangman far too cautious.. cost him

The Floyd p

HOLY MOLY

McGregor by Sub

Wonder was that enough of a stand out performance for Khabib to take notice?

peejay1986

As much as I was looking forward to that fight, I'm very tired. So thank you Michael Chandler for giving us an entertaining finish so quickly.

The Floyd p

He's such a freak athlete. He flies across the cage. Damn....

Bit of a WWE call-out there.

Fair ****s to him. Better than the usual "I'll fight anyone" narrative.

That’s how to do it these days.

He played his moment well.

EagererBeaver

Also, Anik is now doing advertising in his commentary during the round ffs.

Chandler corny as **** in his call out. Him and Gaethje the obvious fight to make.

Mellor

McGregor on Pts

Call out seemed forced. But was smart enough to cast a wide net.
He wants the red panties.

moneyman

Great finish. Call-out was difficult to watch though.

He wouldn't stand a chance v khabib tbh.
Lovely knockout though.

Wow that's quite the debut. He so intense serious athlete

It was a good promo, the UFC have their Chandler soundbite now and that’s what he wanted.

Great MMA performance too, for what it’s worth.

Hope mcregror gets his head kicked in :pac:

The Floyd p

It's apparently a WWF callout? IDK if many modern MMA fans remember old school Ric Flair tbh

Hasn't it always been that way?

Mike Goldberg was always at it.
