This Louisiana native has 13 years of experience as a mixed martial arts professional, and more than a decade as a UFC participant, where he started in the featherweight category. While he was interim lightweight champion (he beat Max Holloway in April 2019), when he went for the official crown, held by Russian Khabib Nurmagomedov, he failed in his attempt as he got defeated by submission in the third round.
Last year he made it two wins in a row against a true UFC legend, Irishman Connor McGregor, but in his last appearance this year, he was submitted by Brazilian Charles Oliveira in three rounds in another lightweight title shot.
Michael Chandler
- Odds: +175
- Record: 23-7-0
- Age: 36
- Height: 1,73 m

With a college background as a wrestler, more than a decade ago, Michael Chandler turned to mixed martial arts, and became a lightweight champion in the Bellator franchise. It’s true, he was in his prime as a fighter and only signed with UFC last year, but of the four fights he fought he won two and lost as many.
He made a good impression in his only fight this year, in which he defeated Tony Ferguson with a second-round front kick, earning him Performance of the Night at UFC 274.
