Michael Chandler has a lot to prove this weekend at UFC 257. The former Bellator champion signed with the UFC last year and has not fought since. He joins a long list of former Bellator champions to have joined the UFC. However, they have not fared well in the UFC. ‘Iron’ will be aiming to crush the notion that champions from other organizations don’t fare well in the UFC. 

However, this is easier said than done as he takes on a tough contender in Dan Hooker. A fighter with considerable height and reach advantage over him. At the end of the fight at UFC 257, Chandler will answer a lot of questions about his skills against the best of the best. However, ‘Iron’ Chandler, like the rest of the world, has an eye on the main event featuring two of his divisional contenders.
