Chandler OBVIOUSLY has a career long after fighting, commentating fights at the very least! Dude is about as articulate as anyone in the business.
He better go on and take it dude is too wreckless as a fighter fun for us fans to watch but if he fought with all his training wrestling and his banging ability he could possibly be world champion of 155 we never know because he is all about pleasing us fans and giving us fight of the night and possibly year Everytime he steps in the octagon
Definitely smart on his part
Agreed - was quite taken aback - decent business acumen
he is the most articulate fighter
@@thomasreed5856 he didnt come to the ufc until he was 35 and once charles destroyed him i don't think he really cared about the title. He cares more about giving the fans what we want and making a bag. Win or loose all his fights are wars he's the most entertaining fighter on the roster
When Mike fights you don’t talk about who won You talk about the fight The man has brought pure carnage With class MC is a pure animal
Plus a future company man
haha stop bro, his IQ is the lowest IQ, real fans appreciate strategy, not just slamming or breaking position, he does stupid things also cauz he is tired. He is not that entretaining for real fans, just for casuals plus he wont fight conor, he is just wasting his time, conor is a drug addict at this point.
Lol cmon. You talk about how he’s a heavy-bag with eyeballs
How can you not like Mike Chandler? Comes across as such a bright, humble, well spoken individual but an absolute savage in the cage. One of the fighters that you’ll never ever want to miss. Hold him in such high regards like Gaethje, Izzy, Volk, Nick and Nate, Conor, JJ that if they’re fighting you can bet your candy ass I’m staying up till 4am to watch.
Name more of the most popular PPV fighters to show that you’re totally aware of anyone else who is exciting.
@@k33p1tc00lBelal Muhammad p4p most exciting fighter in the UFC currently. On a serious note, you don’t need to question my MMA knowledge been watching since a teen from the early open weight classes in the UFC to the freak show match ups in pride to Strikeforce and Affliction days. I’ll humour you though, kid. Exciting fighters that feature regularly on PPV that I haven’t mentioned: DP, Max Holloway, Rafael Fiziev, Josh Emmett, Cody no Love, Cory Sandhagen, Chito Vera, Suga Sean, Peter Yan, Bobby Knuckles, El Cucuy, Derek Lewis, Alex Pereira, Jiri, Tom Aspinal, Paul Craig, Jamahal Hill etc etc. Happy son? Point still remains if Mike Chandler is fighting I’ll watch. I recommend his fights v the underground king in bellator
He comes off as such a fraud.
Chandler, obviously conor and the ufc want the conor vs diaz trilogy and so do all real ufc fans. Get the hint and move on. At this stage in their careers, nobody can move the needle or get the best out of conor and nate than each other. They are 1-1, arguably the two biggest stars(in the US) with the two most die hard fanbases, and both at same stages of career. The lead up to that fight will be epic. Idc what anyone says fight week is different when either are on the card, let alone both. And their 2nd fight was epic and showed how they bring the best out of each other. Conor isnt gonna get up for chandler like he will diaz. Move aside dog. You can fight the winner.
The nigerian nightmare Mike Perry@@k33p1tc00l
Chandler: " Look at it like it's a career not just a catapult (to the top)" Dana: " This isn't a career this is an opportunity"
Chandler is a true champ. Loved watching how he coached as opposed to how McGregor coached. Chandler so classy!
He married hun 😂
@@nickscarla-tl9xp hun is well aware he's married. I've been married 34 years. Just a fan. Love Chicago Cubs!! Bulls & Bears I'm fond of as well. Big sports family. Better throw in here I'm a fan of Steveo as well. 😊☮️
I’m a guy and I enjoyed his coaching style in comparison. Doing worry about that guy, stuck in closet.
it honestly amazes me how well spoken chandler still is even after all the wars hes been in lmao
Dudes like Clay Guida in that regard. Can't believe that guy can even speak coherent
Some guys take it better. Maybe they start smarter 😅
must have actually started as Einstein to have regressed to this state.
@@bearwolffish lmao that’s what I’m sayin…. Who knows what they could of invented 😅😅
@@jnxythemousecould of lol
Win or lose I am always watching a Michael Chandler fight. He brings IT every time! He is a true Spartan.
Like gaetjhe
Gaetjhe would kill a Spartan and almost did!! LOL
Connor is going to PIN HIM.
Connor is done he won't fight anyone after his leg got snapped fighting Dustin. Why would he, he is rich off Floyd and Proper 12. Shit I wouldn't. Brain damage for few more bucks he doesn't need is just dumb.
Chandler is the man. He was a few seconds from becoming the UFC champion and he's definitely a champion level talent. He's one of my favorite fighters and he's a legit good dude. Love this interview
Wasted his precious one year..not so wise dude
Agreed. One of my favorite UFC fighters since he came to the UFC.
And a naive sucker. He actually thinks he moves the needle for conor. Conors "announcement" basically said it all. Unless Diaz gets booked for ufc 300, its 100% gonna be the diaz-connor trilogy at international fight week. No fighter(outside maybe khabib) will move the needle for and bring out the best in conor like diaz. We seen how deep he dug in the last couple rds of that 2nd fight.
The guys openly accusing Conor of taking roids and Chandler doing his best to smooth it over is hilarious 🤣🤣
It's not an accusation brother, it's literally the truth
Ironic coming from Mike “HGH Gut” Chandler
peptides isnt steroids
Your mindset is very weak. Maybe be better at life and you will realize not everyone who is muscular and or has a little gut is not on peds @@PandaBoy-zi2hg
@@cristianchavez1699I do t think you get it. Chandler is on steroids too
Chandler is such a nice man and very well spoken. He's made his parents proud I'm sure
He religiously cheats on his wife
He is fake
Thanks dad
Who tf says that about a grown man 40yo fighter?...
@@psychedelicvoyager9331yeah, not many fighters can string two words together.
I LOVED this interview. Great work, Steve-O
I see Chandler as a sport analyst in the future. Very well spoken guy
The podcast is getting much better, smoother, and easy to listen to. 👍
192 episodes in.... imagine how much less he will cut people off by episode 400 maybe once every 20 seconds.
Chandler is definitely a smart guy and really chill. An asset to the UFC and fight world as a whole.
Im glad I tuned in to this. Was more unable to stop watching this then i expected lol Pretty cool episode Steve-O Chandler is the man
Chandlers a class act, great interview and really well spoken. Could listen to these guys chop it up for double the time this podcast was on for
Love this podcast. So glad you had Chandler on!
Chandler did such an amazing job and explaining the emotion that HE brings to the fans, i loved the Colby character at one point and i didn't care if he won or lost because he laid it all out against Usman twice, with my personal evolution it would've been nice to see Colbys human side after his loss to Edwardsi think he would've won me over as we can all grow, Chandler what you bring to a ufc event is absolutely incredible, people can say what they want, at the end of the day they're not the ones being locked in that cage (just keep em coming a little straighter champ! 👊🏽😂)
Love hearing ladies and gentlemen again! Its just iconic for the podcast
Loved seeing the gang in TN! Congrats and best wishes to Vinny!
That brings back memories, chopping wood. I used to come home after school and take out my frustration on the chopping block. I grew up in the hills which is a very similar lifestyle to Steve's new place. Growing up on Ngarrindjeri and Peramangk Ruwi made me a more resourceful and resillient person.
Great interview.. great guest
Happy holidays to all of you! I hope you have a great break. Also much love to Vinny and Autumn for their upcoming wedding xo.
I'm moving to Nashville soon. Looking forward to seeing you boys!
Fighters won't admit they're scared until after the fight, but Poirier admitted he was scared of chandler and ducking him but only revealed it after the fight. Conor is 100% scared of chandler, when you have a guy like chandler who has power, can wrestle and is willing to stand in front of you and take the punches in order to give them back. That's a scary fighter and conor doesn't like those types of fights he prefers to finish it quickly and control the fight on his own pace
Facts, Conor’s team knows he NEEDS a win on his return and his EGO made him accept the fight at first but I think after some more time and thought, they realize how dangerous this fight is. But also very winnable if Chandler fights dumb
Awesome video 💯💯 Steve O and Chandler should have a regular podcast 💥💥💥🎁🎁🎁
I kinda want to see every fighter fight at their natural weight class. Like if weight cutting wasn’t ever a thing. It’s so ingrained in combat sports that it’ll never happen but I think weight cutting actually adds to the fight, tbh. It definitely increases all fighters cardio having to be in that good of a shape and I think it gives them motivation and a huge boost of energy after having been recently depleted then juiced back up to full health. I just wanna see him at “peak natural performance” I feel like chandler would be fighting at 185 or 205 and that’s an insane thought considering the current 205ers.
True it would be good. And on Chandler at 185 or 205, dont forget most the top guys wouldnt be there if no one cut weight lol. Basically just Adesanya off top of my head
Yes dude this was awesome! Great conversation! See you at the top! 😎🤙
10 mins in and Chandler is saying literally everything that I've been thinking since this fight was rumored to happen
glad to see someone who grew up where i did make it so far
As someone here from gallatin pretty cool and rad to see you live in Portland! Hope to see you at some shows! :)
I watch every podcast and thought i was a subscriber. I just seen i wasnt subscribed to steveo and was like Noooooo! Im subscribrd now though lol. Been a fan since elementary school, im now in my mid 30s lol.
Steve O triggered by Colby 😂
Cool new set Steve-O⭐️
First time ive watched a steve o podcast and i enjoyed it❤.. congratulations on the sobriety, for me its the only way to live now👌💪💪💪👊
Boooooo!!!!! He made his popularity on his drug filled idiocy. He is boring now
@@mitalsardesai660 wish I could of made some money on my drug filled idiocy🤷😜😁😁😁😁😁, instead of wasting 22 years of my life👌🎯🙏🙏
Awesome podcast loved it!!
Yooooo! Congrats Vinny!!
What a stud Michael Chandler is... Merry Christmas to the wild ride boys and their families!! And congrats to Skinny Vinny and his bride!
chandler been head hunting for this since almost killing tony; gotta love the commitment in chasing the fight
He did not do that
@@KarloCarl my fault, forgot it was after the justin v tony fight
Merry Christmas O!
Colby Covington on PBD podcast today and Michael chandler on steve-o today. nice! Chandler is a smart and well spoken guy. I haven’t ever really seen anything from him outside of the octagon until now.
Bro I like that Corey did that he’s a super legit striker who has been showing very very good grappling. I know how to grapple so I know wet blanket isn’t easy to do. It shows a clear skill difference
Yo Steve-O what camper van bus do you use for these videos?
It's hard cuz Colby wasn't technically wrong. Leons dad was a gang leader, drug dealer, busted for sex trafficking etc. And Jorge was a deadbeat dad. I just don't think it belongs in a press conference in order to get attention.
So much better than some of JRE MMA shows.
Good interview👍🏽
STEVE-O in my journeyman podcast partaker opinion has the most clever ad placements of any podcast. Especially on YT. He really picks good spots to make it easy to remember skip the ad reads. Don't even comment non-premium YT subscribers. If you haven't figured out YT premium > all other streaming subscriptions combined I can't help you.
PS Steve-O if you put this up a day early without ads on Patreon you just got another $40k a month.
You need to do a pod cast with the dudesons anyone of them doesn’t matter it would still be a wild ride
Oh shit. Mr. UFC Ears himself! I still want to hear the full story about him almost clobbing Adam Sandler in the face at a Buffalo Wild Wings in Syracuse
Wait what? I live in Syracuse! You have to elaborate on this one for me, please 😂
@@jesusmaldonado1080 Ya same. He mentioned on Twitter when someone asked if Adam Sandler’s Netflix song UFC Ears was about him and he said yeah and then brought up the incident. Unfortunately he didn’t give any details which is why I’d love to hear the full story
It actually happened at an Applebee's, buddy. Chandler hit first then Adam iminari rolled right into a perfectly executed omoplata. Chandler tapped, they shook hands and took a picture together where it looks as if Adam is punching Chandler right in the penis. Adam then said he would put him in his next movie where he will die in the first scene.
Steve-O!! I absolutely love the show & ALL of your content! What a fantastic episode it’s fixing to be! MUCH respect!
Stevo- 0 lookin like Norm McDonald
Congrats on the marriage Vinny 🐸
I don’t keep up with the ufc world. It’s nice to get up to post with this.🐸🍺🔪🔥
Love Chandler man. One of my favorite fighters! 💪🏽
A line you wouldn’t cross says Steve O that’s hilarious 😆 😅😂
Steve-O really needs to talk about or come to terms with his hypocrisy some times, it's insane!
Is there a part 2? It just cut off 😢
Chandler is a great human being ! such a talented and ferocious fighter too!
Nice show Stev-O
Where’s the full podcast ?
DAMN, I didn't know that happened with James Kraus. He was on Tuf a loooong time ago
Steve O keep it 💯
Why was it cut off at the end?
Steve-O living by the mantra 'if you ain't cheating you ain't trying' 😂
Audio/visual not synced towards the end of the video
you fixed the sign!
☝🏽☝🏽☝🏽! In the Justin fight where chandler puts his hands down after being cracked several times was like that rocky moment where Rocky says “ come on knock me out!!!” And just takes bombs to the head! Great fight
steve o and michael are national treasures. we must protect them at all costs
VIDEO IS FUCKED UP AT LIKE THE 1:11:15 SPOT!
You don't like Michael Venom Page's fighting style? He is so fun to watch. He makes it look easy. He's the king of the walk off KO.
The video and audio don’t match at the end of the pod😭
Chandler sounds very intelligent and well-spoken. Seems like a nice dude
chandler on MVP “i hate him, but also ya he’s a good dude, i like him” 😂😂😂
Chandler is super likeable, this is dope
Wow that Aeropress plug was hard to watch Steve-O. Lol get a cast iron kettle
Very articulate, intelligent man.
What happened at the end there?
i'm hooked on full mount mma now lol
It is realy hard listening too steve’o s voice on a podcast longer Than 15min
@1:11:15 ? Is this some thing they bleeped out or is this unintentional
Video corrupts and the video + audio become out of sync after 1:11:17
Steve-O looks great in this
Hard not to like Chandler. I never knew to much about him until now but he's got a new fan ✊️
Chandler has that good ol boy vibe that comes from where he grew up....high ridge Missouri I live 20 miles from there lol....soooooo happy he is getting that Connor fight...GOOOOOO CHANDLER!!!!
Why the abrupt ending??
Favorite Fighter... got a great head on his shoulders
did Steve-O just time his USF interview perfectly with JR?
Mike's a class act
Okay, I get Beneil isnt the most famous fighter, but come on! It's like everyone forgot he existed when they were talking about Tony's past opponents😂
Great interview like always! Can you see if you can get Chris Hansen on the podcast?
Awesome Episode Guys !!!
I love Mike Chandler. Awesome person.
One thing I admire about Chandler is he's a company man. He'll never say a bad thing about the UFC. Which is very smart. You don't bite the hand that feeds you. A lot of dummies never learn that, and then wonder why they're not getting the opportunities.
lol like who
does anyone else's audio start to fuck up at the end of the pod or just me??
I completely agree with Steve-O’a take on Paddy
I love this dude..
What happened at the end?
Please get Josef Fritzl on the show
Gaethje was the 1 who took Tony's soul. 1st loss after win streak. The rest followed. Oliveira was after Gaethje
This Chandler Podcast got deleted? On other platforms
Steve O saying mark Kerr wasn’t juiced up is hilarious
He wasn't saying that.
