Michael
Chandler’s
UFC career is undoubtedly at a crossroads after his latest
loss. 

Former UFC welterweight Matt Brown
recently slammed Chandler’s lackluster run in the promotion.
Chandler suffered a lopsided first-round knockout loss against
Mauricio
Ruffy at
UFC White House. Despite being 2-6 in the UFC, Chandler has
never fought on a Fight Night outside of a numbered UFC
card. 

Brown believes Chandler’s stardom is undeserved based on his UFC
career. Brown believes Dana White should cut Chandler from the
roster or politely ask him to hang up his gloves. According to
Brown, Chandler should try fighting in smaller promotions if he
wants to continue competing. However, Brown believes Chandler
clearly has no place in the UFC.

A Better Fit Elsewhere

“With Michael
Chandler, just his whole UFC run hasn’t been anything to note…
He shouldn’t be the star that he is in the UFC,” Chandler told
MMAFighting.com. “How are you 2-6 and you’re as
big of a star as him… I would not be excited to see him fight
again. If I’m Dana White, I either cut him or tell him, ‘Look, you
need to retire, bro.’… If he wanted to keep fighting, I think he
would probably fit into other organizations. I would like to see
him in bare-knuckle, Gamebred MMA stuff. I think there’s fun things
for him to do. He is clearly not a UFC-level guy.”

Chandler (23-11) made a statement with a vicious first-round
knockout of Dan Hooker in
his UFC debut in 2021. However, “Iron” has since managed to defeat
only Tony
Ferguson while suffering six losses — most of them being
lopsided. 

Meanwhile, Brown (24-19) holds the record for the fifth-most
finishes in UFC history and the second most KO/TKO wins in UFC
history. “The Immortal” scored a first-round knockout win over
Court
McGee in his last UFC outing in 2023 before announcing his
retirement in 2024.
