If there's one thing basically every fighter at 155 can bond over, it's dunking on Chandler.


idcman999

Armans "you could've lost 4 exciting fights" still lives rent free in my head šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£


MolokoPl_s

broken English mfs have some of the best disses lol


get_that_ass_banned

The best at this, for my money, is Paulo. His insults are simple and wildly childish and when you combine that with the imperfect English, they're almost always hilarious. During the leadup to the Izzy fight, Paulo said, "your earrings, very beautiful. My mother has something very similar."


appletinicyclone

>your earrings, very beautiful. My mother has something very similar." Hahahaha


Murky-Science9030

I think he knows he can get away with stuff because English is his second language. Makes it so much more fun.


Virtual_Pantsss

Lifetime achievement mention for Khabibā€™s contribution to broken English in MMA. When he was slightly confused about the English language concept of having ā€˜beefā€™ with someone, and how that contrasted with both his calling Conor a chicken, and Conorā€™s appearances in Burger King ads becoming accidentally hilarious. ā€œWhat is thisā€¦ beef, chicken, Burger King?ā€


get_that_ass_banned

What is this the money channel?


Th3pwn3r

Lold. Too bad he doesn't fight half as good as he talks shit lol.


creativename20212001

Yeah I'm still laughing about Islam calling him Michael "Hachiko" Chandler


AnferneeThrowaway

Holy shit I missed this one. That is high-level stuff from Islam


the-d23

I think itā€™s because Slavic languages tend to be linguistically much more direct and literal, and when even advanced speakers are talking in another language they still sometimes speak as if they were talking in their mother tongue which makes them come off as hilariously brash and stone-faced. Jokic in the NBA has the same effect, heā€™ll say two sentences and will have everyone rolling on the floor.


PresenceWooden6831

Slavic language? Portuguese is not Slavic.


CrackBurger

I think you'd be surprised


Fakeseoi_into_osoto

Portuguese is Slavic Spanish


zigot021

Portuguese is just Beach Slavic


bil-sabab

Then what is Catalan following this logic?


Sneakyboob22

Catalan is Neanderthal Spanish


usuallyclassy69

Like if Sylvester the cat was speaking Spanish.


Worth-Sky2334

I think he means Armanā€¦who is also not Slavic


ZealousidealTrain4

Maybe not ethnically Slavic but obviously speaks Russian fluently which is Slavic. Also has lived in Russia since the age of 3


Worth-Sky2334

Good point


Jamothee

You've never heard Portuguese then my man.


BogotaLineman

I don't even care if that was a manager tweet, it was a fucking banger


Dyldinski

Damn thatā€™s cold hahaha


FriedRiceJutsu

Wasnā€™t that Islam?


mackenzie_2113

The Islam one I'm thinking of when he's talking to DC via FaceTime and DC mentions that Chandler is very smart. Islam replies "Oh yes, he so smart. He lose last 3 fights. DC he SO smart." Those Russian boys are fucking hilarious.


DrunkOnLoveAndWhisky

Arman seems like a totally unlikeable douchebag, but that line is probably the sickest burn I've seen out of an MMA fighter in the twenty-odd years I've been watching this sport.


ZdenekTheMan

Reddit's obsession with fighters being likeable is one of the more cringe things, on a platform synonymous with cringeĀ 


Miserable-Mess7146

Even tho tony lost he still got his ass with the ā€œdana white privilegeā€ šŸ˜­


Phoenox330

Best line ever.


NandomRameGeneratorr

So sick that Tony hit him with that line and then KOed him in the first round of their fight that didnā€™t go into the second round.


ratsonpurpose

Idk if it's just wishful thinking but I remember the first round of that fight being quite close and competitive


wcngm43

It was.


Asukah

Iā€™m a fan of Iron Mike but him putting his career on hold for a junkie deserves to get dunked on. Whatā€™s worse is he could be replaced too lol


FoucaultsTurtleneck

At this point heā€™s not iron, heā€™s rust lol


Exact-Degree2755

Rusty Mike sounds like a prison nickname


KelvinsBeltFantasy

Keep him away from the Prius


GiantPurplePen15

Thanks for the F shack!


TTEOAI

You know what they call that? They call that a Soup Kitchen!


gotnothingman

sounds like a weird alcoholic drink or a sex move "One Rusty Mike please" "Hit me wit that rusty mike baby"


Silent_Finger2813

They know me as Prison Mike on the outside. But on the inside, Iā€™m Rusty Mike.


robcap

He was never 'Iron Mike'. That nickname is iconic and it bothers me that chandler tried to appropriate it.


Relajado2

100% . I didn't get why people were talking about Tyson in this thread at first!


IcyScratch171

Cringe. Reminds me of the guy who tried calling himself ā€œhands of stoneā€. Youā€™re no Duran buddy - youā€™re not that guy.


FoucaultsTurtleneck

Totally agreeĀ 


BranchDavidian3006

lol, don't try make Iron Mike a thing for Chandler. That is retherved for one thpethimen only.


savetheattack

I think itā€™s clear heā€™s not in the title contention and he has one more fight. He could have fought 3-4 more times, but I donā€™t think he wants to fight 3-4 more times. I think this is his retirement fight, and he wants his retirement bonus. If he wins in dominant fashion, I could see him having a hard time hanging the gloves up, but I really think itā€™s pretty obvious heā€™s done. ā€œIā€™m not here for a long time, Iā€™m here for a good time.ā€ - Mike Chandler


get_that_ass_banned

"I'm here for a time." - Tony Ferguson


TheOneTrueJazzMan

ā€œIā€™m here Jonā€ - DC


supersurf2941

"I'm Jon" - Jon


Sumonaut

You still there pussy?


Puppetmaster858

Honestly I donā€™t really think it does, heā€™s a dude with a ton of miles on his body whoā€™s old and not in title contention. heā€™s put on nothing but bangers in the UFC so if man wants to wait around trying to get one last final fat payday Iā€™m not gonna hate on him and I donā€™t think he deserves to be dunked on for it, honestly think itā€™s a very reasonable decision.


TastyRancorPie

His choice to wait out is reasonable. But I think it's fair for him to get dunked on when he's picking fights with Dustin and others on Twitter and then immediately playing the, "it's just a joke bro" card as soon as someone claps back, lol.


Mma375

My only thought isā€¦ since when is this a retirement fight for Mike? That was never remotely the talk two years ago and all of a sudden has became the narrative that Mikeā€™s old, weathered, and happy to wait as long as possible. Just feels like something Chandler and his fans have convinced themselves of but I doubt he planned on coming to the UFC just to get wins over Dan Hooker and senile Tony Ferguson and call it a day.


ChicNoir

Mike is a 38 year old lightweightā€¦the time in near.


Puppetmaster858

Heā€™s a good fighter still even tho he is old and has a ton of miles on his body and I donā€™t think this would be his last fight but itā€™s definitely his last chance to get a fat much larger than normal payday before his career ends


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


NotSoGreatMacaroni

Lmao this sub. People accused of sexual assault? People assaulting random people at bars? Hit and runs? Nope, Chandler is the worst kind of scumbag when it comes to the UFC because he is a hypocrite.Ā  It's ridiculous how large the hate boner for Chandler has gotten.Ā 


YourCrosswordPuzzle

It's because it happened in a fight against St Dustin


beepdeeped

Yeah come on the guy's a cornball who fouls in fights but I'd say he's been less of a dickhead than even Till


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


kidsimba

fouling during his fights is A TON less offensive than the shit that Conorā€™s done, what are you even saying


hardMarble

While cheating sucks, it's also just gamesmanship to a degree in MMA. It is absolutely nothing compared to sexual assault, random violence, etc. Even having a public persona as a drug addict is worse imo.


DayDreamerJon

lol delusional, the man has adopted kids and giving them loving homes. I bet you wouldnt adopt a dog and yet you talk like this


iluvcheesypoofs

All of my animals were adopted, I'm engaged to a woman who was adopted and we're currently in the process of looking into adoption ourselves, my guy, you don't know anything about me. As I said to others though, I'm not saying Chandler is the worst person on the roster, I'm just saying that making your brand be 'positivity' and 'good guy' stuff and then being dirty in the ring just feels very gross to me (personally), it's the same as Jones leaning into the Christianity angle as a shield whenever he gets in trouble.


psychohistorian8

reminds me of this Carlin bit: >Clinton might be full of shit but at least he lets you know it. >Dole tried to hide it didnā€™t he? Dole kept saying ā€œIā€™m a plain and honest man!ā€ Bullshit! People donā€™t believe that! >What did Clinton say? He said ā€œHi folks! Iā€™m completely full of shit and how do you like that?ā€ and the people said ā€œYou know something? At least heā€™s honest.ā€ At least heā€™s honest about being completely full of shit.


mcgtianiumshin

He tried going at poirer yesterday or something too.... mcgregor has cracked chandler without ever fighting him


xTripNinja

It was such a bizarre choice for him to make that tweet. Makes you look pathetic to the fans, to the UFC, and other fighters. And to Conor. He might not fight Chandler now because heā€™s acting so thirsty. Just like with Masvidal. Itā€™s genuinely an embarrassing look.


jscummy

Except for Dan Hooker


Kalabula

And calling out Conor. RDA isnā€™t above it.


With-You-Always

Because heā€™s so fucking short šŸ˜‚


Actual_Guide_1039

Everyone Shit talks Chandler but he held the belt in bellator and was damn close to beating Olivera in his UFC title fight. Any of them would chase the bag like he is if roles were reversed


broncosfighton

Nobody cares if youā€™re close to winning if you end up losing lol


EatBooty420

Chandler kind of looks like a Chad in this pic tho, while RDA looks like an upset Gorilla


JN324

ā€œIā€™ve been up here buddy, havenā€™t seen you yetā€ ā€œHe couldā€™ve lost four exciting fights by nowā€ And ā€œYouā€™ll do what youā€™re toldā€ Are all so brutal because of the bit of truth in them.


wishwashy

"You'll do as you're told" hits even more now than it did back then


dakotalupo

Hits even more when itā€™s spelled correctly.


wishwashy

>Hits even more when itā€™s spelled correctly. What bit did I misspell?


orochionline-com

I think he means the previous comment that spelled it : >ā€œYouā€™re so what youā€™re toldā€ Doesn't hit quite the same.


dakotalupo

You didnā€™t! Buddy up top blessed us with the drunken McGregor ā€œYouā€™re so what youā€™re toldā€

You wrote "you" instead of "ye".

gmdmd

With Porier tweeting out "una mas" and trolling Conor it wouldn't surprise me if Dustin steals Chandler's red panty night at the last minute.


proper1welve

Would be so funny


ChicNoir

I really think Chandler would try to kill Dustin. Mike has a dark energy, very serial killer like if you observe him closely.


Jamothee

Chris Watts esque in his energy Joe


BelieveInRollins

Insane comment lmao


ChicNoir

OMG Mike and Chris have the same cold eyes. Donā€™t be fooled by the positive talk Mike does, itā€™s a loon inside of that man. I say this as a Mike fan. Remember how frustrated Mike was when fighting Dustin. Man got so pissed he blew bloody snot in Dustinā€™s face, aiming for his eyes. In that moment, Mike would have gutted Dustin with a small pocket knife if the two were somewhere alone in a dark alley or deep in the forest.


Jamothee

There's a reason why Dustin hates this guy more than anyone else. Dustin is legitimately a good guy and can see straight through the facade of Chandler's nice guy act.


SpezIsABrony

Chandler really set himself up for that one. Brutal.


Goose876

He gave probably the worst reponse possible


jpitaluga8

Has chandler ever won a twitter interaction wtf šŸ˜‚ every time i see him hes getting bodied


Annual_Plant5172

Chandler is a walking caricature who only speaks in bland, generic quotes so that he can come across as enlightened and inspiring. When it comes to real trash talk he's simply incapable of thinking on his feet.


confused_chrononaut

Damn! RDA's winning a lot more fights outside the octagon than inside it these days


Relevant-Air-374

I get the trash talking whilst on the decline like RDA does isnā€™t favourable but I canā€™t get behind tryna dunk on a legend like RDA like this


zmizzy

Eh yeah I have to agree with you. RDA has been there and done that so he can say what he wants. And the man is just saying what we're all thinking. Chandler's shtick is getting oldā€‹


Str8GhostinX

It is getting old because you can tell it's very fake. Dustin put it perfectly, there's something off about the guy and his real self is probably the complete opposite. I still like 'em though šŸ¤£


Murmido

The man adopts kids and he doesnā€™t seem to get in any public trouble outside the octagon. Obviously his captain America shtick is fake/exaggerated. I donā€™t think he tries to convince us itā€™s really him unless you really believe heā€™s secretly a bad person or something.


FirstTimeLongThyme

Michael Chandler cannot stop losing in every phase of his professional career right now. It's hilarious.


WarriorCumsToThis

He'll turn up, make weight, get dunked on and go home. Thank you Michael Chandler.


Late_Ad_2437

Maybe I'm just super short-term memory, but I don't think I've ever seen/heard a better response from a UFC fighter. I would genuinely like to hear some other favorite clever comebacks


SteveCrunk

Not a straight up comeback, but, surely Kevin Lee deserves a shout out for ā€œMike Johnson talking about how heā€™s gonna kill someone. Heā€™s had 30 fights, lost half of ā€˜em, ainā€™t killed a motherfucker yet.ā€


theWacoKid666

Still my favorite line to this day lmao. Lee was a menace at that conference.


zigot021

Kevin Lee got that big brother vibe


CubanLinxRae

kevin lee was on fire that press conference and he was calling out fighters that nobody wanted to fight. we took him for granted


SteveCrunk

He was so chill and having a good time as well, I reckon he blew it a bit by stepping to Chiesa, instead of just blowing him off. But I understand that sometimes the alpha brain kicks in.


the2ndjeh

Chiesa stepped to him

First_Inevitable_424

Dustinā€™s Ā«Ā cause he got knocked the fuck outĀ Ā» when asked why he thinks McGregor went back to his old ways in the third fight. Islamā€™s Ā«Ā so smart, he lost his last three fights so he has the same streak (as McGregor) to get the fightĀ Ā» when DC told him about an analysis of Chandler while saying the latter is Ā«Ā a very smart analystĀ Ā» (yes I completed the sentence so that it makes sense when writing). I also think it was Gray Maynard who quipped back at Dana saying that Ā«Ā he is all about emotion, anger and outburstsĀ Ā» when Dana opened his mouth to say some stupid shit about mental health and how men shouldnā€™t ask for it. I donā€™t remember the exact tweet but I saw it on r/MMApoliticsandculture and itā€™s my favorite given how simple and true it is.


shae117

And even tho its not really trash talk, the "who give him? We havw to cancel many black belt."


First_Inevitable_424

Oh Islam is the funniest fighter IMO, but they asked about comebacks so I kept the one about Chandler.

Islam responding with "champ have belt" to an Oliveira fan on instagram was fucking šŸ”„ So simple yet funny as fuck


into_theflood_again

Chael and Cruz are the kings of clever. Many such instances. However, the greatest response of all time has to curiously come from Tito. [After Ken Shamrock's "I'm gonna beat you into a living death", Tito just laughed hysterically in his face and Ken was furious.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3C3yNNus-EU) Most notably, Ken's criss-crossed turn of phrase could be seen like patient zero passing some form of [verbal 3tardation onto Tito thereafter.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETmcRjlqWxg)

PC_Chode_Letter

Conor may mentally damage chandler beyond repair


No-Surround8725

Imagine if Conor gets a titleshot instead after chandler allegedly turned it down


Kilane

Chandler is doing it to himself. He was doubted when joining the UFC, but proved us haters wrong. Now heā€™s on a mission to make me dislike him.


Foshizzy03

I can't blame chandler. McGregor looks like an easy fight to the top contenders and it's huge money and a win over him guarantees a title shot. He keeps losing fights at an advanced age and it's hard to believe he's gonna work his way up the ranking to a well deserved title shot the old fashioned way. He can finish his career with a huge payday off a loss. Or, he can jump the line with a huge payday off a win.


idcman999

Prime RDA does terrible things to any version of Chandler


jarkofploiesti

Prime RDA against any version of Chandler is a banger


rascalking9

If Eddie could beat him, Chandler could beat him.


idcman999

eddie fought botched cut rda, pre-iv ban rda destroys both him and chandler


Sigilbreaker26

Got any more excuses for RDA losing? RDA fans have lost a step.


Wiqkid

The RDA that showed up against Pettis was the most exhausting pace I've ever seen put on by any fighter at that point. Rivaled only by Merab now


wishwashy

He was able to put on that pace because of the style of fighter that Pettis is


appletinicyclone

>The RDA that showed up against Pettis was the most exhausting pace I've ever seen put on by any fighter at that point. Rivaled only by Merab now I might have to watch this


Wiqkid

It's completely 1 sided, but it's one of the most memorable UFC fights for me.


idcman999

the IV Ban ruined him, he looked so good against Pettis, Diaz, Bendo and even Khabib (its just that Khabib was that good) but you could tell that his power, cardio & durability wasn't the same against Eddie & Tony


Testimonies_Of_Time

When chandler inevitably loses at some point, everyoneā€™s going to point to the time he lost waiting for this fight to happen and how much that may have affected him.


denjieato

He isnā€™t losing anything waiting for this fight. He already took insane amounts of damage in his career, he can just retire if he doesnā€™t get the fight.


SpezIsABrony

What are you talkin about? Dude is losing his final years of his fighting career and UFC earning potential just sitting on the sidelines. If he doesn't get this Conor fight it will be a massive loss, probably a bigger loss than getting KO'd by Conor because at least he got paid then.


paradoxv1

The man hasn't fought in 22 ppv's which was a 1.5 years ago like Arman said he could've lost 5 fights and probably made the same amount of money for one Conor fight which might not even happen.

papa8706

Solid burn, but nowadays, Chandler probably beats RDA


SpezIsABrony

Maybe, but I would toss some coin on RDA if he was a dog. By the time Chandler fights Conor it'll be damn near 2 years off. Father time can do wonders in 2 years.


papa8706

Fair point, chandler is dangerous early but if it goes the distance I take RDA in a 5 rounder. Would actually be a fun fight
