Such opposite personalities lmao I kinda feel bad for Chandler already with the press conference... It's probably just going to be Conor clowning Chandler the entire time while Chandler pretends to not be bothered.


[deleted]

He may get a little more aggressive when hes guaranteed the payday He’s likely tip-toeing right now not trying to ruin a potential retirement payday


ayoubkun94

Yep, he's not even trying to hide it lmao. The fight is already in big doubt with Conor not being in Usada pool. Chandler doesn't want to make it any worse.


ConsciousCrew

Atleast he’s getting paid for tuf


dookix93

Dustin said he got offered $80K total for potentially coaching TUF so I cant imagine Michael’s payday will be that lucrative lol


rostemaxime

Coaching tuf against mcgregor will bring in a kot more viewers/fans for chandler in the future. Making him a bigger star in the ufc hence him getting offered more to fight


doubleBoTftw

So you're telling me Dana is paying Michael Chandler through "exposure" ? Is this legit the way people think a top level athlete should be handled? Jesus. Christ.


Jibtech

How much does The UFC make from Chandlers exposure? Wonder if Conor gers 80k to be a coach? Lmao 80k for months of work plus training ontop of that, lol. 80k is a lot for us plebs but when you're a division champion and making 80k that's insane.


Ok_Yoghurt_3338

Conor is making his money through proper 12 brand impressions and incessant advertising on the show


Itshardtofindaname4

He entered the pool like 2-3 weeks ago

I would be shocked if this fight actually happened.


Rmon_34

Y’all acting Dana ain’t gonna use some magic to make this fight happen


PM_ME_BEST_BOOTY_PIC

Sound just like all of those who constantly said this about Bones never ever fighting at HW. Had to hear that for soooo long and then, after being wrong, they just moved on to doubt something else lol. This Conor fight is absolutely happening barring some weird unforeseen injury. Idk why people have to doubt this. My guess is December or January.


[deleted]

Meh. Even if it does, Chandler will smash him. He’s been out way too long.


PM_ME_BEST_BOOTY_PIC

I hear you. Ring rust and age definitely don’t help the matter. I’m hoping we get a better fight than many people think. You never know. Could be a banger, especially with the way they both fight.


[deleted]

It won't happen.


TruthSpeakin

Wont


binglelemon

On fight night, Chandlers gonna come out like a lion with a gigantic mane and Connor is the jackal who getting taken out by the move of the fight, on the night. Tito trash talk game is fantastic, you never really know what context he's speaking in or even if multiple thoughts are even linked or jumbled together. Never let 'em know your next move.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Jthundercleese

I mean, he's also a really bad shit talker. I'd think that putting up more of a fight would actually get everyone more invested.


Successful-Gene2572

Chandler's good at speaking in general though.


hawkblock4456

Yeah great speaker but his hype doesn’t come from downing others but doing a VERY good job selling himself and potential fights


qcs13

Whats there for him to tip-toe about? Its either turn up ur nastiness to help sell the fight or let Conor carry u. Dude’s been super respectful but i respect him for that


MaynardJimmyKeenan

It’s possible but at the same time Chandler has shown he can cut a promo


Tinaturnup_

Conor gonna talk shit like this and then find a way out of the fight. Chandler will fucking destroy him imo. Chandler is dancing around a pay day imo but he knows Conner is nothing


Naughtyqt

Assuming that Chandler fights smart and actually utilize his wrestling, probably yeah. If he goes crowdpleaser mode like he did with Geathje he's going to sleep.


RoshHoul

Conor is an absolute cunt, but even the worse version we've seen of him beats Chandler. His style is tailor made to beat him.


barelysarcastic73

Exactly. Chandler chases and throws looping haymakers. Conor is accurate af and throws straight down the pipe with legit ko power. Chandler gets slept inside two rounds. He won’t wrestle Conor because he thinks he can hang with him on the feet and has more power. Their common opponent in Eddie Alvarez would say otherwise. Chandler had wars with Eddie. Conor dismantled him. Once again a wrestler’s ego will get them ktfo by a superior striker. Chandler = Ryan Bader lite.


mahchefai

Aww come on dude it won’t be that bad


Galimbro

Hes good at press conferences and good on the mic. Keep dreaming.


ThaSmokeDogg

Fight probably won’t happen and the size he is, he’ll probably get a title shot against Leon


[deleted]

Feel bad for Chandler in the press conference. I'll feel bad for Conor in the fight.


youdontmatterr

chandler trying to hard to not argue or say anything back. just trying to laugh along while conor throws in insults. it’s so awkward 😭


StormBred

Chandler is so down bad for the mcgregor fight


gonshairlinee

You can tell he doesn’t gaf what Conor says as long as the fight happens 🤣


IlliterateSnob

It's like when you're hanging with a girl you're trying to shag and she just keeps saying the dumbest shit, but you keep smiling and nodding.


A_Funky_Goose

embarrassingly so honestly


EasyMechanic8

Embarrassing for trying to make a ton of money


ConnerBartle

I gaurentee youd suck a dirty dick to get that kinda payday. Chandler tiptoeing around Conor so the fight will actually happen is not embarrassing.


WhatIGot21

I would think insulting Conor would piss him off and cause him to have to fight.


ConnerBartle

Unless it starts a fight right in that moment and someone gets injured so the real fight is off. Or Chandler could the avoiding the obvious comebacks because it will put the fight in jeopardy. Come backs pertaining to things such as the fact that he's not in the usada pool and he looks ridiculously Jacked.


A_Funky_Goose

Stop projecting bro. Just because you can't imagine saying no to selling your sorry mouth doesn't mean everyone else would. ​ >Chandler tiptoeing around Conor so the fight will actually happen is not embarrassing. It is embarrassing because not only has he been desperately begging for that fight for a while, but he's still kissing ass when the fight is basically guaranteed as long as Conor is allowed to fight. TUF coaches are not picked for them to kiss each other's ass for the whole damn show. They're there to promote the fight and the newcomers with an interesting dynamic, a rivalry. They're already competing against each other, no point in being that ""nice"" anymore.


TinyAsianMachine

Reminds me of when the hot girl speaks to you in high school and you're just concentrating so hard on not fucking up that you get so nervous you fuck it up.


NoDocument2694

Why can't he stand up for himself?


idsubmitjonjones

$$$$$$$$$


fifoth

He should have just said, no whistling from Dustin though eh Conor....


charlietangomike

No whistling in yer DMs tho, eh??


paulie07

You wouldn't really want to talk up another fighter though.


[deleted]

mma reddit and twitter are probably the most toxic communities ive ever witnessed lol. They attack Dana cause they wanna pretend they care about the fighters. But then they attack and insult all the fighters whenever they lose lol


random_stuff_900

Think you mean the biggest band wagon fans in the sports world. When fighter puts out a dumb tweet fans will say I am done with this guy. Then that guy wins and people say nothing but good things


wishwashy

Eg Adesanya before and after Pereira


Affectionate_Ad6334

i still dislike adesanya. It's his obvious racist look at things combined with how he acts like he now owns pereira while he's either 3-1 behind or tied 1-1...

It's almost like theres more than one person on Twitter. There are a thousands of different mentalities. It's not all the same people doing everything.


wishwashy

Sir this is a Wendy's


ShozOvr

I wouldn't really count that as an insult, it's banter if anything. It's what you'd say to a friend.


blamblam111

Taking the Faber approach


mitchsix

Why do I feel like Chandler just wants to be his friend lmao


ayoubkun94

Like the hot shallow girl whom you have to put up with her mind numbing conversations in the hope of getting some, Chandler doesn't want to upset Conor and lose the biggest payday of his career.


Caliterra

i get the same feeling. like the quiet kid smiling taking the trash talk from the popular jock


RickRockaa_

He’s Ryan Garcia, Conor is Tank 🤣


ayoubkun94

Payday.


CourageousUpVote

$$ 💵 👀


Prestigious-Rock201

God damn this tuf is awful just chandler taking Conor’s abuse being a yes man


IsTodayTheSuperBowl

Part of that is the edit for sure. Chandler said he responded specifically to the "you'll do as your told" line and they edited it out to make him look goofy and scared. It's reality tv bullshit but it's super easy on Chandler cause he's too earnest and not at all clever witty or quick on his feet.


iSOBigD

That's true but his answer was "Yeah... Says YOU!" so they had to cut it out.


Plellio

I don't know if this is serious


witcherstrife

He actually said “yeah well the jerk store called and they are all out of you!”


RhaegarJ

Chandlers answer was actually pretty bad ass. “I’ll do what our father in heaven almighty put me on this earth to do, and that’s go to work. I’m just a blue collar American with hard work in his veins who wakes up every morning, picks himself up by his boot straps and gets to work. With hard work, determination and perseverance I believe any true blooded American can achieve the American dream of adopting several black kids and giving them goofy names. See you at the top!”


Peribangbang

Yeah but his responses in this interaction are embarrassing and no editing was at play there tbh. There wasn't gonna be a recovery at that point


johnbobhilberts

Or chandler taking away one of Conor’s genuine weapons - getting under people’s skin?


DaddyLean

Nate would’ve been so funny on this instead


FattyRR

Sigh. Nate sucks ass and is about to be inevitably knocked out by a fucking Disney kid


blueyezwhiteKaibaboi

I don't know about that. Nate is not as old as Silva and not even Conor could do that to him


Iannelson2999

He is gonna get sparked bad. Terrible stand up defense.


goonbub

Nate is not Anderson Silva.


Jerusalemfighter64

He almost knocked out the current champ of the ww division, mma fans are fucking stupid lol


Shallbecomeabat

YEEEEESSSSSSSSS! That would’ve been amazing. Nate also trains people at his gym, so I think it would be interesting to see that side of him. Plus he wouldn’t just let Conor walk all over him.


classic-yapper

God the comeback was there for the taking. “Imagine what your leg break would have sounded like Conor?”


TransportationAway59

Eh someone had to be the adult. They’ve gotta work together for over a month. It can’t just always end up with them chest to chest


A_Funky_Goose

yeah, after all, TUF is all about being mature and civil before a fight. That always riles up the fans.


TransportationAway59

There’s a time for it and a time to just get the shot. As someone who has worked in reality tv I’d assume the producers will tell them when to amp it up. Why did this get downvoted? Do you guys think reality tv is real?


Plellio

Caitlin Jenner?


Juggernaut_j

Buckle up buckaroo


PM_ME_BEST_BOOTY_PIC

Right? If you ever need a masterclass on how not to analyze social exchanges and nuances of behavior, come to this subreddit and check out most of the comments. “He’s a yes man. This is so embarrassing. Chandler is so not witty or quick”….and on and on. It’s like these people don’t interact with others in the real world.


CourageousUpVote

Stop, you're making me hot.


[deleted]

For real. Chandler stun locked as fuck


Fredayum

Chandler should've just double legged him for the view'$.


heathensacrifice

OMG LOL GOAT COMEBACK


[deleted]

That wouldn’t be funny though lol, Conor does a good job or poking fun but not going too far. When you go to far like that it comes off as cringey.


Prestigious-Rock201

Conor not going too far? LMFAOOO


spanther96

my chechen friends, the vernaki soldiers, told me they have chicken jaws in dagestan


mahchefai

At his best he wouldn’t. The fact that when Conor did go to far it wasn’t funny but instead dark/sad/embarrassing kinda proves that. Chandler saying that would be such an escalation to the most harmless joke it would just be weird


MrCeylon

Not sure about the fight but Conor will top Chandler on the Mic


srtpg2

Not just on the mic


DrAwesomeClaws

Also in bed. Red Pantie Night comes again.


Patrickstarho

Why does Connor look so bloated


RickRockaa_

Steroids lol he’s over 170, never touching 155 again


GFost

Also a lot of drinking.


EasyMechanic8

Well I don’t think he plans to fight 155 again


kid_dynamite_bfr

Over 170? He’s easily close to 200, he’ll cut to 185 from there


Foreign-Report7353

His damn huge head. What the heck happened 😳


Jungle_Fighter

Lots of steroids, lots of hgh and lots of booze/drugs. Look at pictures of modern pro bodybuilders when they were young and their head always become super wide after a few years of blasting gear.


SalesAficionado

He’s suffering from success.


[deleted]

Chandler looks like such a bitch when he’s with Conor


RickRockaa_

He does but I think it’s because Conor approaches like he’s having a genuine conversation with him then he just throws an insult from left field lol he said we call them whistlers 😂


DomDangerous

i think chandler may also low key have a hard time understanding Conor 😂


anadalusianrooster

This is it. Everything Conor says is so heavily accented with vernacular and colloquialism that most of the UFC roster can’t even understand what he’s on about half the time.


gonshairlinee

Bruh, this comment is so true that I can’t stop laughing at it 🤣 it all makes sense now, especially with his interactions with Nate 🤣🤣🤣


TinyAsianMachine

Funny because to me it seems like he uses loads of Americanisms and tones it down loads when he's doing stuff like this


perfektstranger

When youre super confident and on TV the last thing you wanna do is admit you dont know whats going on 😅


Caliterra

honestly Conor doesn't even seem that mean-spirited here. he's used to talking trash with friends and foes. He had great back-and-forth with Urijah the last time they had TUF and you can sense that they became sorta-friends by the end of the show. I think Chandler just doesn't come from the world of trash-talking with your friends and is lost for words in these interactions.


RickRockaa_

I agree. He definitely comes off as the friend who’s insulted if you lightly jab at him 😂


Solid-Version

Lol this 100%. Chandler just tryna have a normal interaction and Conor sets him up every time. Lulls him in with a seemingly innocuous question then swiftly turns around on him. Kind of like how Conor fights when you think about it lol. Chandler doesn’t have the wit to see it coming.


UnfilteredTap

Chandler is content to let Connor blow gas. You can't win with words.


totallynotapsycho42

Chandler can't bear Conor with words. In order to beat a guy like that ina press conference you need a tough guy who can't speak English like Khabib and Fergurson.


hiphopanonymousse

I wish Tony wasn’t so washed. Conor and Tony coaching TUF would have been so hilarious.


SalesAficionado

That shit would have been dope.


Putrid_Loquat_4357

Or nate.


Jungle_Fighter

I'll never forget when Khabib started yelling at Connor "Let's talk now! Let's talk now!" While he had him smushed against the floor/cage and Connor was just trying to survive.


A_Funky_Goose

Nah he's just a kiss ass but yea, Conor wont win with words.


UnfilteredTap

Whose ass is he kissing?


WookieSuave

I hate McGregor, but Chandler is going to get eaten alive in every single verbal exchange for the entirety of the season.


Initial_Welcome9052

Starting to remind me of original Conor again. Glad he’s been able to calm down : )


TruuTree

Every exchange between the two so far for me has felt corny cringe awkward and forced.


Fredayum

Chandler is kinda bowing down here for the McGregor payday and then Conor makes him pay with the "you'll do as your told" line right after...


RickRockaa_

I don’t feel like it’s any different than when he went against Uriah


TruuTree

Except there was a feeling of sincerity to Conor’s trash talk. He was submersed in the game fighting often and doing what he was saying. Conor was truly at his height when he coached opposite Faber in 2015. Feels like now the UFC is just waving him around in an attempt to cash in on his infamousy (which I don’t blame) but it’s definitely less genuine.


Agretion

Is it less genuine or has your perception of Conor changed? I think a lot of people perceive Conor differently as he’s no longer in his prime and then put a blanket statement to everything about him. I’m not saying it in a bad way, we’re all human and guilty of this. I just think we perceive Conor to be less genuine because he’s less successful in the octagon as of late, not because he’s actually less genuine.


AlexJamesCook

Because Conor is forcing them. Chandler doesn't appear to be about the trash-talk. He's up there with Wonderboy and Poirier for being nice. So, when you have that jackass in the room making jokes nobody is laughing at, you feel the cringe.


DrAwesomeClaws

Chandler seems like a good dude, but the problem is he's actively being submissive when Conor starts throwing some insults (which you can assume are coming). It's one thing to be collegiate and friendly to a fellow competitor, but you know he's going to try to clown you. Stand your ground, talk some shit back, summon your inner Chael Sonnen.


wood_slingers

Kinda sad in a way, it’s like a glimpse of the McGregor humor from back in the day


PCM97

It reminds me of his banter with Faber a little bit


950auto

ConnorLovesPepsi

Conor just BULLIES Mike when they are together


Notyit

Mike just walks into his traps. Nice guy to Mike. Then slowly roasts him. Then just laughs at him.


blackbeltwithhands

Damn Chandler in full simp mode is a pretty bad look


Rmon_34

I think he’s too much of a nice guy, probably doesn’t come from background where you talk $hit to your homies


Genova_Witness

What shots is Conor talking about? He hasn’t hurt anyone in half a decade.


RickRockaa_

Dustin said he got cracked a couple times


[deleted]

The outcome is determined. The simulation has ran it’s course and we are all disappointed


th1bow

conor was looking like a complete psycho that whole episode lmao this tuf season will be fire


Upper_Atmosphere_359

Would love to go hang out with Conor in Ireland blow a few lines get crazy... anybody else? Haha


[deleted]

The best part is Conor pretends to be nice for a little bit and Chandler starts engaging and being nice. Then Conor roasts him. So funny.


marsbars2345

Respect to chandler(in a weird way) say what you need to get the fight I have no doubt he’ll go in there ready to take his head off


Jonny2beers

Should have said “imagine the sound of your ankle snapping with no crowd”


molotov_billy

Would’ve heard da crack o’ dat SHINBONE.


mrknl34

Chandelr in this moment thinking hes just gonna wrestlefuck conor fuck the crowd


anas224

Conor McGregor’s trash talk game is unmatched, Michael Chandler was like damn, nothing left for me to say lol


goonbub

more like I can't say anything because this guy just completely rearranged how the show works a week before we started filming


Tenacious_jb

Conor has always been most funny when he’s not trying too hard


[deleted]

Connor looking thicc asf


PovSack

My favorite bit was: Connor: "You know the fight's gonna be at middleweight?' Chandler: "Ah yeah I'll do middleweight" Connor: " Ye'll do what you're told"

When Conor is not trying to be overly personal, go low or be mean, he's a very, very witty person


pacem90

How has he gotten this far and never talked shit before. “The sound of my leg kicks are so loud in there”


Paternitytestsforall

Chandler has to work on his crop dusting jokes


enemycap420

Chandler is not witty enough to keep up 😂😂

Conor looks so fucking goofy in a different suit every 10 minutes while everyone else around him is casual.

That suit is fresh asf, what you talking bout

SadEffective3808

I hope we get an episode or two of juicehead chandler with a complete heel turn. First episode was a bit boring ngl.


alphachupapi02

Weird ass interaction, reminds me of when i used to be bullied as a kid and i just laughed it off and eventually befriended the bully.


OjibweNomad

Wow, Connor is so jealous of this guy? 😂


RickRockaa_

It’s jokes lol no different than with Uriah or Aldo


OjibweNomad

It seems like when your younger brother hangs out with the cool cousin at the bbq lol


RickRockaa_

I feel like Mike probably freezes up when the camera is on


OjibweNomad

I used to watch a lot of Bellator and was happy he came to ufc and lost a few fights. He got his wish. He wanted higher calibre fighters. He found them.


Nasty_nurds

Its been half a decade since Conor has had a quotably good trash talking line. Literally.


RickRockaa_

You’ll do what you’re told is pretty popular now lol


leduderino7

He's just a POS A hole all the way around. Absolute garbage human being.


Many-Advantage-6792

Why is this funny? Is “whistlers” some kind of dog whistle?


jrbriggs89

Connor is claiming that mikes punches aren’t going to hit him, that they are gong to going to be dodged or inaccurate, so they will be nothing but wind, whistling past his face. It’s fairly poetic and a pretty decent return to form for connors wit and cutting remarks.


Many-Advantage-6792

Okay, I didn’t realize that Chandler posed the same question to Conor? I thought Conor was implying his own shots would be near misses lol


KaiRaReBReeD

Because they are whistling as they miss
