    Katona is playing this the smartest. He knows it’s all about getting wins by taking the least damage. He’s also totally right about not wanting to learn something new a week before the fight

      my thought exactly. The show is too short to actually learn anything meaningful. What you came to the show with is pretty much how you are going to fight. All the coach can do is formulate a plan using your current skills against the opponent.

    I agree with Katona on the whole introducing very specific stuff a week before thing. That would mess up my flow a little bit and not make me feel my absolute best. I get where they come from when they do that, but I’ve seen it mess up other fighters too multiple times during this show for many years. I get it, but to me, not the way to go out the sharpest.

      I wouldn't say this his LAST chance to make ufc, he's only 26, still has 10 years left atleast in fight career if he takes care of himself and keeps leveling up
      But is he DEE GUY, I've seen this guy before he is tough for sure but is he DEE GUY like a rising young Conor or khabib? Everyone on the show believes they are thee guy, the one otherwise why are they even their?
      And there's nothing wrong w asking questions and dialoguing w the coach and questioning things.. this is Michael chandler after all and Conor McGregor too.. it's not being a diva.. diva is the wrong word.. it's about being passionate about taking career to next level and performing to the best on the big stage.. as long as he's respectful to the other competitors and the coach I don't see him doing anything wrong really at all

    2:00 😂 He's acting like he was completely willing to accommodate Brad's wishes. That's definitely not what I saw. Chandler even said on the show that he wanted to basically lie to him and then trick him into going with his own plane. Chandler didn't like it one bit and didn't want to accept him but Rashad read wrong and Chandler rolled with it to try to make himself look better.
