Part 7/8:
Chandler’s Credentials: His history of capturing titles in Bellator, defeating notable contenders like Hendo and Patricio Pitbull, underpins his claim to a high-profile spot in the UFC lightweight picture. Critics argue about the quick jump, but his prior success supports the move.
The Bigger Picture: Rogan notes that the division is packed with talent yet somewhat fragmented. Conor’s absence from the immediate title chase opens opportunities for other fighters to establish dominance, leading to a more streamlined and competitive landscape.
