The way Chandler speaks about MMA history, his love and appreciation for the fight game as a fan shines through. And it's been said before, but it bears repeating; Mike is definitely working on TV/media when his career is over. This is excellent narration/voice over work.

How can you not Love Michael Chandler?! He's a great ambassador for the UFC! So cool to see the history of the LW division.. i didn't know all this. It's come a long way.. and is super stacked!

Someone: *silent* Michael Chadler: “You know, you being quiet reminds me of myself when I get into the zone before a fight. I pull myself up by my bootstraps, put in the time, blood, sweat, and tears. You not saying anything to me today wasn’t a coincidence, it was the universe wanting to send me a message.

Remember when lightweight was dominated by BJ. And no one cared about other fighters other than him? Then came Frankie Edgar who dethroned him then came rivalry between him and gray Maynard. Then WEC joined with Benson, Pettis, cowboy. But imo, other than BJs era, and merger of WEC, light weight wasn’t really in the spotlight til Connor came. Then over few years, it became one of the best division. Because you gotta have all balance between power, speed, skills and stamina to be at the top tier of this division.

Holy fucking shit this is the most well written, well versed highlight tape I’ve ever seen in the 31 years I’ve lived on this earth. Michael Chandler we love you and your activity

I've gotta say Chandler has grown on me, the man can talk.

Dear Michael Chandler, please work on your defense. Take better care of yourself! I wish you all the best!

Lightweight Division is the most Badass Division 100%

I really like Chandler as a speaker in the UFC. Hopefully he lands a full time part somewhere after he's done fighting. He seems to keep it unbiased and I love him for it even going up against these guys he speaks great about a fighter like when he was going against Justin. Completely unbiased on him

No doubt lightweight division is most deep division in UFC...no division has most complete fighters from #1 to #15...this division has most fighters in p4p rankings too compare to any other division.

I think reaching the top in women’s SW and going through new stages in her adult life are softening her up a bit. I believe she’s very vulnerable against Esparza this time around.

All Man Michael Chandler Tells a Great Story & The UFC Lightweight Division Certainly is an Amazing Exciting Story to Tell.

Yo you guys need to make Chandler a commentator after his career. I think he's got the full package to be great at calling the action. I'd love it!

I actually feel like batamweight is the most exciting and deepest division right now, like chael said you got 8 former champions in the rankings, crazy!

*There will be never an undisputed undefeated pound for pound fighter in the world*

I really want to see Poirier VS Chandler That will be another banger! They both love to brawl 💯

Gotta love MC

Lightweight Division❤

Chandler vs Chad Mendes would’ve been a fun fight

All I wonder is Chandler was spoken his mind all the time during this promo or he was reading a script? Very well spoken gentlemen, I like him 💪🏼

Chandler is definitely getting a job at UFC media

Talking about the lightweight division history without mentioning a certain 12 win streak is misleading.

Chandlers dope in general

Lets not forget what many fail to remember with mcstretcher. He DID NOT grind his way up 2 divisions to even get proper rights to fight for 2 belts. He cut in line and took the shortcut to get the opportunity to get that 2nd strap.

170 division is The Sweet spot. They are small enough for speed & technique. But big enough to hang with heavy weights without a total blow out ...

They keep saying that. Lightweight was the deepest. Bantamweight is by far the deepest now

Lightweight is the most entertaining division right now hands down.

I have to say Michael Chandler is a very good guy !! I didn't know !

“michael (deliberate heat exposure) chandler”

Dustin is my favorite

Fuckin great video. Chandler needs to become a commentator eventually.

hopefully tony defeats chandler

Chandler has a great future in the sport not only like a figher but like an analyst too...

Theres a reason why hes called Iron mike!

Where's the part when RDA took the belt from Pettis ?

Sorry Chandler but the heavyweight champ will always be baddest man on the planet, reason being the heavyweight champ is the alpha across all divisions, he wins against anyone in a 1v1, nothing will change that.

💖💖💖💯

he didnt talk about the champ charles du bronx ! I wonder why.....

This video did Charles Oliveira dirty

I think the lightweight division has the most depth and most talented division because of the UFC having this dumb jump from 155-170 and no 165 lb division and the average man in the US being around 5'9".

Out of all those guys only 1 of them actually would fight anyone at any weight and that's BJ Penn. Only light weight to challenge a heavyweight and almost win. Yeah the ending of his career was sad and he lost. But in his prime, BJ was probably the craziest lightweight ever.

literally cant talk about lw division without bringing up khabib

Wait I'm also coming at Light weight devision.. I'm coming for take the belt.

No mention on Tony.

Chandler could replace Ron one day

Just because I like them both and they're on loosing streaks I wouldn't mind if it's a draw.
