UFC 314 Thoughts/predictions and discussions

"one dude on his mind".

 

UFC is far stronger than Bellator.

 

Chandler might want to call it a career. 38 years old and fighting in a deep talent division. He is 1-5 in last 6 fights and I Don’t see any of the top guys losing to him.

 

Yea, but it wasn´t just the size, because Oliveira, Gathje, and Hooker are as tall as Paddy, or even taller.
Chandler is just too limited as a fighter, and his age is now showing.

 

How did that happen to Chandler. I am greatly disturbed by this. Didn't realize age would get to him this badly.

 

5 ft 10 in,
73 in (185 cm) reach
Paddy`s reach is 3 inches longer than Justin`s.

 

He`s always losing, no fundamentals, highly overrated.

I dont think its insulting to discuss volks fundamentals considering it has contributed to his losses. also since almost every point you can bring up would also be met with overwelming praise as well as the critique.

this video demetrius johnson observes some things. But volk can get set in predictable patterns.

Volks timing, pace, durability, toughness, tight technique normally rights some of his wrongs but volk isnt getting younger. he got out of jail a few times against lopes, who needed to perform just a bit better. DJ doesnt really criticize or make that point though

 

He didn´t get dominated just because of 3 inches.

 

True, but Paddy didn`t do anything that special and seemed so much bigger and strnger than Chandler.

 

True. IMO Chandler just got old, and it showed. Oliveira pretty much dominated him too, even tho the first fight was an absolute war.
Chandler spent nearly 2 years on the sidelines, waiting for the McGregor fight. Dude is almost 39 now.

 

Losing to top 5 in the most competitive division while winning the first round of basically every fight. Yea man this guy sucks!

 

Chandler should have a restraining order put out on him by Conor`s lawyers.

 

Just a face first brawler, who`s quite strong, next!

 

Pretty much, made it to the top 10 though so clearly he has something special.
