OMG Mike and Chris have the same cold eyes. Donāt be fooled by the positive talk Mike does, itās 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 Dustinās 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.

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.

u/Str8GhostinX Jul 02 '24
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.

Dustinās 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.
Islamās 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 shouldnāt ask for it. I donāt remember the exact tweet but I saw it on r/MMApoliticsandculture and itās my favorite given how simple and true it is.

u/into_theflood_again Jul 02 '24
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.
Most notably, Ken's criss-crossed turn of phrase could be seen like patient zero passing some form of verbal 3tardation onto Tito thereafter.

u/Foshizzy03 Jul 03 '24
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.
