I'm an Eddie fan and I couldn't tell you who he's beaten or lost too. What I can tell you is that you can pick any of his old fights and you won't find a boring one.

      Ehh, he had a somewhat underwhelming UFC career, considering the hype behind him from Bellator.
      1.) He lost his debut to Cowboy
      2.) He layed on Anthony Pettis for 3 rounds, and did no damage.
      3.) He was losing to RDA before he landed a big right hand rocking RDA and getting a TKO win.
      4.) 0 title defenses, and lost horribly to Conor McGregor..
      5.) He cheated against Dustin Poirier.
      But he had a Great fight with Justin Gaethje, so that was entertaining af.

    Much respect to you Eddie, I have thoroughly enjoyed watching your fights throughout your career and especially hearing your wife cheer you on. No matter how far away she was, how big of an arena or even how many people were cheering and how loud it was, you could always hear her screaming your name! EVERY FIGHT! However, Michael Chandler fought Dustin Poirier, Tony Furgueson, Justin Gaethje and Charles Oliveira in his last 4 fights. I thinks it’s pretty obvious why that fight never happened and it had nothing to do with Michael not liking to wrestle and not because he was scared. First, the UFC would have never made that fight to begin with and honestly that fight would have been a step backwards for Michael Chandler because had he lost I’m pretty sure it would have been an upset while a win would have done nothing for his career at that point. That’s why the fight was never made.

    For me it's sad to see Eddie go the BKFC route. He's a better class athlete than that and he has better credentials than that. He's a veteran and one of the MMA greats. But that just shows you how rough the landscape still is for MMA fighters. After you've been tossed around and lowballed by the big promotions, all you got left is going to these weirdo outfits to ruin what's left of your health because it's still more of a payday than the dead-end street of prime time MMA.

    Wish someone would make a sport with Bare Knuckle rules (plus elbows, knees and kicks) and just have the fighters wear hand wraps + 4oz (or 2oz gloves). It would just allow fights to stay exciting for longer with full wraps and the gloves allow the fighter to throw more of a variety of strikes without fear of breaking their hands every fight. Especially for the ring and pinky knuckles. Those BKFC wraps aren't doing jack for the pinky and rings.

    Conner can no longer take solid punches well. My guess is that his sparring partners are instructed not to hit him in the face. That coupled with cage inactivity has left him attempting to smother his opponents during even equal exchanges. For this reason, anyone who can rock him with a few solid punches to the face in row has a good chance of winning in my opinion.

    • @jamesnelson8469
      @jamesnelson8469 ปีที่แล้ว

      “Can no longer take solid punches”? Lol what. Based on what? Dudes only been fully dropped once his entire career even including a debut boxing match against mayweather. Took many punches for him to go down against Dustin before he dipped his forehead head into an uppercut. After that he got chin checked in limbo, halfway sitting up by a guy standing above him punching down. No reason to say he can’t take a punch. Although I agree if his opponent starts out boxing him I’d pick against Conor.

    if Conor was in his prime and amazing when he fought Eddie. and if Conor looked in most recent fights anything like the guy that beat Eddie i would agree that Conor vs Chandler is a mismatch. Chandler is basically tailor made for that version of Conor and if Conor can bring that guy back he will make Chandler look really bad and knock him out in a round or two. If Conor looks like he did vs Poirier in their second and third fights it’s a nearly 50-50 fight if Chandler uses his wrestling. If it’s a striking match Conor knocks Chandler out within two
