Michael Chandler confident he can beat Charles Oliveira despite two losses

Michael Chandler remains confident he can defeat Charles Oliveira, despite losing to him twice. After a recent rematch at UFC 309, Chandler expressed disappointment in his performance, rating it a two out of ten. He cited a leg injury that affected his mobility during the fight. Chandler faced criticism for allegedly delivering illegal strikes to Oliveira's head. He defended himself, stating that his punches were aimed at the ear, not the back of the head, and emphasized that the referee did not call any fouls during the match. Despite his 2-4 record in the UFC, Chandler is still in contention for a fight with Conor McGregor. He believes this matchup could happen in early 2025, maintaining optimism about his future in the sport.
