“What’s going on here”, wrote Burns and tagged Dana White, Chandler, and USADA. There’s no denying that it is a clear tease for the fans as they continue to speculate on the scenario.

Well, if Chandler actually lands up in the UFC, it will be a treat for the fight fans. ‘Iron’ Chandler has been a champion in the Bellator, boasting a pro-record of 21-5. He can test himself against some of the best lightweights of the world, by entering the UFC roster.

Top two picks for Michael Chandler on UFC debut

The lightweight roster in UFC is filled with some legit hard-hitters and Chandler can only deepen the roster with his entry. Heres’ top three picks for Chandler on his UFC debut.

Dan Hooker

The Hangman is an elite striker who possesses some intense power on his fists. On his best day, Hooker can be a deadly force inside the cage.

Thus, he can drag Chandler to the corner if ‘Iron’ signs the paper with Dana White.

Al Iaquinta

‘The Raging’ Al Iaquinta is also a rising prospect and an experienced fighter. He can be a good test for Chander’s UFC debut. Not to forget, Iaquinta went to the distance against Khabib Nurmagomedov.

Thus, Chandler might have to work more on his skills against him.
