    The way Chandler speaks about MMA history, his love and appreciation for the fight game as a fan shines through. And it's been said before, but it bears repeating; Mike is definitely working on TV/media when his career is over. This is excellent narration/voice over work.

    Someone: *silent*
    Michael Chadler: “You know, you being quiet reminds me of myself when I get into the zone before a fight. I pull myself up by my bootstraps, put in the time, blood, sweat, and tears. You not saying anything to me today wasn’t a coincidence, it was the universe wanting to send me a message. When it’s all said and done, I will see you at the top.”

      Remember when lightweight was dominated by BJ. And no one cared about other fighters other than him? Then came Frankie Edgar who dethroned him then came rivalry between him and gray Maynard. Then WEC joined with Benson, Pettis, cowboy. But imo, other than BJs era, and merger of WEC, light weight wasn’t really in the spotlight til Connor came. Then over few years, it became one of the best division. Because you gotta have all balance between power, speed, skills and stamina to be at the top tier of this division.

I digress, she hasn’t looked as fierce since her finish against Zhang in their first fight. I think reaching the top in women’s SW and going through new stages in her adult life are softening her up a bit. I believe she’s very vulnerable against Esparza this time around. Rose is more of a favorite than Carla is a dog, otherwise I would have included taking Carla in my parlay.
