Michael Chandler’s Epic Evolution: Johnston On MMA

chandler michael

Article by Mike Johnston Bellator lightweight champion Michael Chandler is the best 155-pound fighter in mixed martial arts that no one seems to talk about. The 26-year-old is a perfect 10-0 and represents everything that’s good about MMA.

And if you’re on the receiving end of that bad news, it could stick with you for a long, long time. Enter Paul Bradley (18-4). “I’d be lying if I said losing that split decision to Mike Pierce doesn’t still bother me right now,” Bradley told Bleacher Report. “It sucks.
