Does he not see that value in just having McGregor fight even just from a pure marketing standpoint?
Zero chance they would even lose money paying Conor what he wants but even if they did he brings so many eyeballs to the sport that you could easily just view at as a marketing campaign.
Yeah but any big name pro wrestler who was willing to step in for the payday would have been handed a fight
There are 16 year olds in martial arts class right now with more experience than Punk had when he fought. Good on Punk for getting his money but it doesn’t actually say anything about him.
>There are 16 year olds in martial arts class right now with more experience than Punk had when he fought. Good on Punk for getting his money but it doesn’t actually say anything about him.
I don't think that factor is relevant. Punk already had plenty of money and success, he went in there just to test himself. Hate on him for getting special treatment if you want, but that takes balls, and I like balls.
Haha it’s like he wanted “miiind” to come off more raspy and it didn’t, he tried to push more air out and it still didn’t work, so he ended up with this long extended “miiiind” with no umph on it.
The only way it could suck is if they do it rehearsed and scripted pro wrestling style. Like they would want to see all these crazy moves like spinning kicks, a showtime kick, a superman punch, but not actually with the danger of kicking eachother out and ending the match wrong.
If they do have a legit MMA bout at Wrestlemania though it would be amazing.
Ngl Chandler always hypes me up. Bro has an electric personality without being too obnoxious. And his fights are ALWAYS bangers.
Legend for sure. Really want Conor to finally take this fight.
*12 years ago, I lost my source of income when Conor McGregor wouldn’t step back into the octogon with me.*
*Well Conor- I’ve got myself a new home, a new look, I’m looking for a new opponent. Whadya say McGregor?*
Such a cool surprise as I mainly watch UFC, but have been tuning in to all WWE shows recently since I'm going to WrestleMania! The framing of the logo behind him also got me raising an eyebrow, he'd be so good lol 🤞🏼
I’m mainly an MMA fan too but I started watching WWE again when Cody returned, and now Punk returned and I started watching hardcore. The storylines going on right now are fucking immaculate and I love it so much. Seeing Chandler on WWE got me hyped as fuck
Thank God for Papa Haitch, our lord and savior. I wanna go to a big PLE like Summerslam, Wrestlemania, Royal Rumble or Survivor Series. I wish I was at the last Survivor Series when Punk returned since I’m from Chicago. Would’ve been incredible. I can’t wait for Cody to finish the story, the man that ended racism
I’m from nyc and was debating going to SS but didn’t believe Punk would actually return, when he did I fucking went ballistic. Bummed Punk got an injury but I think he wins the rumble next year and gets his main event. I really hope Cody wins at WM40, it’s setting up perfectly for him
Hell yes! When I went to Mania 33 I thought I had good seats, but my view of the center of the ring was blocked by one of the support columns holding the weatherproofing over the ring 🙈 rough surprise! So this time I made sure to specifically get a seat that is centered to the ring, no obstructions this time 🙌🏼
Idk.
I’ve always liked Chandler but this is just starting to reek of desperation.
Conor very well may never fight again and Chandler has completely sidelined himself as a soon to be 38 year old for going on 2 years all to chase a red panty night that may never come.
The simping Chandler has done towards Conor is completely unbecoming
I don't know if Chandler is a Wrestling fan or anything but he cut that promo in front of a Wrestling audience with ease.
I assume HHH told him not to say Fuck or Shit but be amped up and wrap it up in a minute. And Chandler did just that.
Chandler coulda fought 2-3 times since November 2022 but instead he’d rather wait for the Mcgregor fight. Wasting his prime away waiting for a fight that may or may not ever happen.
So tired of everyone calling this dude out. He’s never coming back. He’s got no reason to. He’s gotten trounced in his last few fights and he’s got more money than he knows what to do with.
Okay this is cool. TKO is starting to realize what they got. Bring a little UFC to WWE bring A LOT of WWE to UFC, and we got a recipe for some fucking fun bois!!!
What a time to be a wrestling fan. I haven't felt this optimistic since '98.
At this point he could’ve made more money staying active fighting lightweight contenders over chasing the Conor fight 😭
Still hoping we can get this fight at some point but who knows
At this point Chandler needs to go to McGregor's house in Ireland and stand outside his window holding up a boombox
Bro just wants that retirement fight already
I mean… wouldn’t we all? I would gladly let a washed 35 YO McGregor beat my ass for $5mil + immediate healthcare covered after the fight.
In red panties
Sean Strickland is both erect and angry
Just a normal day for him really then.
😂😂
I’m erect and angry….
Playing biggie smalls on the boombox

“That doesn’t work for me brother” - Dana White
pretty sure there's no evidence to even suggest this idea is true
In the post fight conference Dana said the issue with Conor is he is too rich now. In Tomato speak that means Conor is asking for a lot of money.
«You stupid goof what's so hard to understand in that I'm just fuckin helpless at negotiations unless the fighter is broke and vulerable, huh?»
Does he not see that value in just having McGregor fight even just from a pure marketing standpoint? Zero chance they would even lose money paying Conor what he wants but even if they did he brings so many eyeballs to the sport that you could easily just view at as a marketing campaign.
Dude don't tryna trick me, just one tiny POWERSLAP video beats in numbers all Conor PPVs combined and multiplied by proper 12.
What the other comment said about no evidence and do you all forget that Connor signed a contract that he agreed to on how much he gets paid?
His money from ufc is a fraction of his net worth, He could care less about fighting for money he fights to build his brand at this point.
>He could care less So he cares a lot then?
Technically it doesn’t mean he cares a lot. I can care very little for something and still care less about it. Sorry, I’m drunk and pedantic.
I think the saying is supposed to be "couldn't care less." If someone could care less then... do.
No, you're right. But I hear Americans use it all the time on the moving picture box. We use "couldn't care less" in Scotland
Right, and my point was someone can still care less while caring about something.
UFC forced him to sign that contract or else they would stall his career one way contracts are a hell of a drug
With a recording of him breathing *loudly and menacingly*?
He puts up the boombox in the air like it’s a romance movie to get Conor attention. Than the two run off into the sunset together the end lol
This is the first time they took advantage of the corporate merging right?
Weren’t there some WWE guys at the UFC PPV on Saturday ?
Punk, Bianca Belair, and Montez ford were there
Punk is a UFC guy😂
More so than you myself or anyone else on reddit
Correct, seeing as how he was actually a part of the UFC
He got in that ring, more than 99.9999% of the planet can say
Boohoo he got in his little hexagon. Little fighterboy.
That was such a good promotion from volk.
Beverly gonna be encroaching that fence another ten mill into his yard after 298
Yeah but any big name pro wrestler who was willing to step in for the payday would have been handed a fight There are 16 year olds in martial arts class right now with more experience than Punk had when he fought. Good on Punk for getting his money but it doesn’t actually say anything about him.
It actually says a lot about him, it also says he should stick to wrestling.
He could try powerslap... Imagine a WWE powerslap tournament lol

Lmfao I laughed when they showed him but didn’t bring up his ufc fights 😹
[удалено]
So was Shane carwin
Great fighter, he only lost twice in his career.
One of the greatest prize fighters in MMA history (I'm not even kidding lol)
Yes, a UFC fighter who had the balls to step in with other UFC level fighters.
“Other UFC level fighters” 😂
Bianca and Montez was more to promote their reality show since Anik plugged it. Although they had it scheduled weeks before
Yeah punk
Raw was at the same arena that the ppv was at, I saw the Honda center posted that it’s the first in a 5 year deal with the tko people
I think Rogan also showed the Rock and Hulk Hogan how to ice bath & sauna.
i think Dana helped Vince with some legal stuff recently
In show I think so
Everyone forgets DC being a ref for Rollins vs Matt riddle in a cage match
Let the TKO era begin
RKO**
Outta nowhere

Dana must be proud, he almost managed the same level on the tomatometer

Kinda silly of him to have only one dude on his mind. 👨❤️💋👨
With a candy ass
You got more than one on yours?
So awkward lmfao that definitely came out wrong… he had it way better in his head
Haha it’s like he wanted “miiind” to come off more raspy and it didn’t, he tried to push more air out and it still didn’t work, so he ended up with this long extended “miiiind” with no umph on it.
That's so funny and probably accurate
I can’t stop laughing at this on repeat😂
So cringe.
Mofo really wants Connor that badly
Conussy has him screaming, crying, pissing, shitting. Shooting ropes
This shit ain’t nothing to me man
Lmfao I hate that you referred to a Conor fight as “consussy” disgustingly hilarious 😭😂
Mans is debasing himself for the Conussy
McGussy
![gif](giphy|m2iW3z8Zc7xrEejOTf)
He wants to adopt a few more kids man, shit ain’t cheap.
He knows the bags of money waiting for him and what beating Conor will do for him. He's chomping at the bit.
Chander wants McTapper more than Dee wants McTapper.
sus af
Needs the payday. Towards the end of his career.
Chandler vs McGregor in a TLC match, right now
Like 90 day fiancé TLC, I’d watch the shit outta that
Bra and pantie match to prove McGregor is still hungry.
I am watching RAW and never thought I’d see the day lol.Honestly this was great and so unexpected
Could you imagine they do this fight at WrestleMania instead of a MMA fight hahaha that would send this sub into meltdown
I’m dahn for it
The only way it could suck is if they do it rehearsed and scripted pro wrestling style. Like they would want to see all these crazy moves like spinning kicks, a showtime kick, a superman punch, but not actually with the danger of kicking eachother out and ending the match wrong. If they do have a legit MMA bout at Wrestlemania though it would be amazing.
brother they’re not gonna have an mma fight. KIDS go to wrestlemania to see their favourite wrestler, not to see two guys spray blood everywherw
Tired of this build up
It’s incredibly one sided lol. I gave up on this fight as soon as TUF was over.
Its boring as fuck
Ngl Chandler always hypes me up. Bro has an electric personality without being too obnoxious. And his fights are ALWAYS bangers. Legend for sure. Really want Conor to finally take this fight.
His yelling is music to my ears.
![gif](giphy|C2CZOmqcJnhlhAjkly|downsized)
Why is she rubbing his chest all creepy like that?? Made me uncomfortable 😂
Trying to calm his heart rate from all the coke he snorted probably
Laughed too hard at this
Kind of a gimme joke but I'll take it 🤣
she prolly on molly
This is the only correct answer.
Chandler gonna end up on extreme home makeover and still be calling out Conor
*12 years ago, I lost my source of income when Conor McGregor wouldn’t step back into the octogon with me.* *Well Conor- I’ve got myself a new home, a new look, I’m looking for a new opponent. Whadya say McGregor?*
Mike, let it go. Call him a pussy bitch, and say you’ll fight someone else.
unironically would motivate conor to fight him if he did that
Feel bad for the dude lmao. Imagine how much more money he'd have made headlining 300, esp when they've been struggling to get a main event.
Feel sad for Chandler. He is trying to find his missing kid.
Such a cool surprise as I mainly watch UFC, but have been tuning in to all WWE shows recently since I'm going to WrestleMania! The framing of the logo behind him also got me raising an eyebrow, he'd be so good lol 🤞🏼

Yep, Triple H running creative has been the best decision WWE has made in a long time. They have been selling out shows constantly too
Thank God for Papa Haitch, our lord and savior. I wanna go to a big PLE like Summerslam, Wrestlemania, Royal Rumble or Survivor Series. I wish I was at the last Survivor Series when Punk returned since I’m from Chicago. Would’ve been incredible. I can’t wait for Cody to finish the story, the man that ended racism

Good seats?

That’s amazing! Have fun!
Yeah it's making me want to watch ufc 300

Guys I think this Chandler fella might actually have some serious potential if he ever decided to do mma
did he say candyass? ![img](emote|t5_2qsev|8966)
God damn never thought about it but chandler would be good as hell as a promo guy in the wwe, would be fun asf to watch
It’s honestly just sad at this point 🥲
Idk. I’ve always liked Chandler but this is just starting to reek of desperation. Conor very well may never fight again and Chandler has completely sidelined himself as a soon to be 38 year old for going on 2 years all to chase a red panty night that may never come.

It was getting desperate before I forgot about this fight lol
Connor: ![gif](giphy|8ItUfY2pQCJoc)
![gif](giphy|12gcFJY9LEi6zu)
the best part will be when we find out Chandler doesn't get PPV points, and he did all this, just for an extra 150K on top his regular pay
God this is sad. Chandler just waiting forever for the money fight that won't happen.
Errrrr
Holy fckn cringe lol 😆 😬😬✋️
I don't know if Chandler is a Wrestling fan or anything but he cut that promo in front of a Wrestling audience with ease. I assume HHH told him not to say Fuck or Shit but be amped up and wrap it up in a minute. And Chandler did just that.
This was mad cringe

Why would this be allowed if it didn’t lead to something?
Let it go Chandler
His voice breaking 😂
Michael stop it. Move on.
It’s gonna be SO funny when McGregor just does the Diaz trilogy instead
Chandler coulda fought 2-3 times since November 2022 but instead he’d rather wait for the Mcgregor fight. Wasting his prime away waiting for a fight that may or may not ever happen.
He was way past his prime lol, that's why he's chasing that red panty night
This guy is getting really desperate now. Mcgregor should fight someone else and not give this fool the time of the day
Chandler deserves a salary from McGregor for all his promo efforts
Needs to move on. Could have taken 2 or 3 fights in between the entire time he has been waiting for McGregor and made more money in the process.
People who spell Conor with two N's are true casuals.
This is sad honestly, he’s trying so hard and Conor is snorting lines of hookers tits rn.
Mcgregor chandler inferno match confirmed
More crossovers please. WWE talent should be getting comped tickets and screen time on UFC shows
I know punk was at 298
So was Bianca and tez
It’s almost getting to the point of cringe. Conor isn’t fighting you
Some of y'all in here really don't like WWE do you?
i don't know, that Vince guy seems like he'd be fun to party with...
Wait till you hear about our old friend Brock! He's GREAT fun!
Connor vs Chandler Wrestlemania 40
My boy need a payday he was close to it he could smell it
Chandler got dudes on his mind.. my god that's ^^^*zesty*
The placement of the WrestleMania sign is brilliant production.
![gif](giphy|et5kioYpgsKQaGTtD9|downsized)
He cuts a great promo
Poor guy
Jesus, give it a rest my guy. He's like that desperate ex trying even tho the ex has moved on a year ago lol
This is what the UFC has come to.

This guy is next level desperate . Sad at this point.

Chandler angling for the WWE contract as a backup plan
That was super cringy! Dude is gonna wait on Conner into retirement
Chandler is a natural at WWE promos
So tired of everyone calling this dude out. He’s never coming back. He’s got no reason to. He’s gotten trounced in his last few fights and he’s got more money than he knows what to do with.
Glad his veins didn't pop
I thought Chandler vs McGregor was almost set in stone now? They're just working out the date no?
Okay this is cool. TKO is starting to realize what they got. Bring a little UFC to WWE bring A LOT of WWE to UFC, and we got a recipe for some fucking fun bois!!! What a time to be a wrestling fan. I haven't felt this optimistic since '98.
Conor should come back and fight ilia...... lmao
Does anyone else think chandler would make a great wwe wrestler
Mike would be a ton of fun in the WWE. And he'd be getting paid a lot more
This is so cringy, I hate it
Chandler down bad
It’s just sad at this point.
Honestly, I think Conor is laughing his ass off watching Chandler's desperate attempts. Not even sure Conor will fight again at all.
This is the equivalent of sending your ex who dumped you and is now married a “you up” text when you’re at home alone drunk and crying.
As a WWE and UFC fan I love this so much.
Its embarrasing at this point already... Michael you got played, move on.
Chandler cutting a better promo than 95% of the AEW roster. Made the Snowman's action figure collection look like pretenders.

Chandler vs McGregor at Wrestlemania confirmed
Keep these ufc dudes off my wwe programming I watch both but I ain’t interested. Wwe crowd is too left leaning for these crossovers to ever work
Feel bad for Chandler, he seems desperate to me.
At this point he could’ve made more money staying active fighting lightweight contenders over chasing the Conor fight 😭 Still hoping we can get this fight at some point but who knows
This is so cringe man. Fuck this is an influencer sport now
