“I dislocated my finger 20 or 30 minutes before the fight blocking a shot. I had this great idea, the warm-up was already over, I was going to come in in 10 or 20 minutes and I said, 'Hey, throw some left high kicks, I want to block them and hit the body', he threw a normal kick like he did a thousand times, and my nail went back there. At that point, we keep our adrenaline up and I said, 'That's not a hand, that's a hammer,'” said Chandler.
Coming off two consecutive defeats, Michael recovered with a spectacular knockout over Tony Ferguson No. UFC 274. Number five in the lightweight rankings, Chandler has a record of two triumphs and two setbacks since being hired by Ultimate in January 2021.
