“It seems that Chandler has already given up on the idea of ​​becoming UFC champion. That was quick”, wrote Dos Anjos, on his official account on 'Twitter'.

With a successful career in Bellator, Chandler signed with Ultimate and highlighted that he would like to be champion. The North American even had the opportunity for the lightweight title (up to 70,3kg), but was knocked out by Charles of the Bronx in the second round. He only triumphed on his debut, when he hit Dan Hooker. In his career, there are 22 positive results and seven negative results.

Dos Anjos was now preparing to face Islam makhachev No. UFC 267, but he seriously injured his knee and is now working to return to the UFC octagon. In his last performance, which took place in November 2020, the Brazilian managed to overcome Paul felder and occupies sixth place in the category led by Charles of the Bronx. Professional since 2004, he has 30 triumphs and 13 setbacks in his career.

Looks like Chandler already gave up the idea about becoming the UFC champion. That was fast.
