GDT: UFC 262: Oliveira vs. Chandler

[MD thaivuN]

long live the new King, Chucky Olives

 

[Chaels Arms]

That went the exact opposite as how everyone thought it would go. Chandler going to town with ground and pound and Oliveira stunning him with a left hook.

Chandler v Gaethje anyone?

And who is Oliveira's first defense against?

 

[darko]

I don't understand how someone goes from dominating the standup in round 1 to getting dropped in 10 seconds in the next.

Nice comeback for Oliveira!

Suspect chin.

Poirier/McGregor

Poirier/McGregor

Seems like a long time to potentially wait. But I guess we will see.

Chandler v Gaethje anyone?

I think they have to give him a fight before the Conor/Poirier winner. I want Gaethje to win a fight before he gets a shot...but if they wanted to book Gaethje/Oliveira I would get over it pretty quickly. I guess Dariush would be another option.

 

[Chaels Arms]

It's gotta be Oliveira vs the winner of Poirier/McGregor.

I'd give Poirier a slight edge in that fight but I think Oliveira subs McGregor.

 

[darko]

Chandler v Gaethje anyone?

And who is Oliveira's first defense against?

Probably winner of Poirier v Conor.

If Chandler is getting TKOed by Oliveira, Gaetjhe would dust him.

 

[dss97]

Chandler vs Gaethje is realistically next, but I think him vs Poirier would be a great fight

 

[MMC]

Real interested to see who Chandler and Dariush fight next

 

[darko]

Wouldn't mind seeing Gaethje get a shot.

 

[Davimir Tarablad]

Chandler v Gaethje anyone?

And who is Oliveira's first defense against?

Poirier assuming he beats Conor again. Otherwise, winner of Gaethje vs Chandler wouldn't be a bad choice given Chandler was doing well before getting KO'd

 

[m9]

Real interested to see who Chandler and Dariush fight next

Maybe each other?

Chandler vs Dariush.

 

[Michael HOMERUNing]

Chandler v Gaethje anyone?

And who is Oliveira's first defense against?

Based on Dana's hints I think it's gotta be Gaethje vs Oliveira

 

[crazychimp]

I don't care who fights who, the LW division is so f***ing stacked lol

 

[Davimir Tarablad]

Based on Dana's hints I think it's gotta be Gaethje vs Oliveira

Seems odd for Gaethje to get a shot coming off a loss, even if it was Khabib

 

[Chaels Arms]

I wouldn't be surprised if Gaethje jumps right into a title shot. Gaethje has been wanting to fight so this isn't a Colby situation where he's just sitting around declining fights.

 

[Taytro]

If that was stopped during the 1st round I wouldn't have been mad. I've seen a lot worse stopages but God damn what a comeback for Olivera. I'm happy for him but I can see this being a coursel of champions for a little bit. Gaethje and Poirer as former interim Champs who can give him a run for his money and Chandler looked like he could dominate him before getting caught.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

The top of the lightweight division is just insane, anyone one of those guys could realistically be champ

 

[BobColesNasalCavity]

Give him Gaethje in August and then winner of that gets winner of Conor and Poirier at Christmas.

 

[I am not exposed]

Sonnen saying Oliveira had the perfect defense. What.....

 

[Taytro]

Give him Gaethje in August and then winner of that gets winner of Conor and Poirier at Christmas.

I think this is a great plan. I'd like to see Chandler/Dariush in the mix too. Next 3 are Gaethje, winner of Chandler/Daruish, winner of Connor/Poirier. Then eventually Makhachev comes up and keeps the belt for a while.
