Michael Chandler is arguably one of the most feared knockout artists in the UFC. While the lightweight fighter has a mixed record so far in the promotion, ‘Iron’ has already produced one of the most memorable fights in UFC history. However, in a recently surfaced video, the American fighter seemed in a pumped spirit.

In the video, the fans could witness the #5 lightweight fighter swaying the dance floor with his Michael Jackson moves.

The 23-7 record holder donned a white shirt and paired it with pink pants. Interestingly, he also held a glow stick while he showed his dance moves.

Further, Chandler was surrounded by people, and later in the video, he replicated the famous performer Michael Jackson’s iconic dance moves.

As expected, the fighter’s Michael Jackson moves attracted eyeballs on the internet. While some fans appreciated the free and careless spirit of Chandler, others had a different take on the wild nature of the video.

How did the fans react?

One user alluded to the upcoming fight with ‘Diamond’. Thus, they wrote, “I’ll wait for Poirier’s dance video to make final judgements”

A user wrote, “Chandler seems like someone who has one of those “Live Laugh Love” pictures hanging up in his house somewhere”

Another user replied, “I heard he has black belt in twerk”

A comment read “Michael ‘not Jackson’ chandler”

An MMA fan pointed out, “Holy sh*t it’s Michael Jackson!”

Another fan declared, “One too many air humps champ”

Someone commented, “This is called white boy dance moves. Every once in awhile I whip out the ol skillset”

A fan came to the former Bellator champion’s defense. Thus he said, “Chandler is such an Alpha Chad Frat Boy, and he doesn’t give a f*ck. People wish they could ooze confidence like this kid.”

Another user commented, “It’s obviously a drunk middle aged dude at a party having fun and doing a goofy dance with an attempt at a Michael Jackson dance move. Go easy on the guy 😂”
