Is Michael Chandler This generations Nate Marquardt

I been thinking of this lately. Michael Chandler looks the part and destroys many the foe similarly to Nate. However like Nate we have seen that he a bit of a front runner and has trouble over more technical guys he can't bully with skill\athleticism.  He seems like a world beater at times, just like Nate, but he also seemed quick human against will brooks.   I feel like Chandler would look impressive in the UFC until he hit the top 10 or even top 15. He would steam roll some guys, but I think many would give him absolute fits if not straight out beat him.  So just wondering what others thought about this. He just reminds me a lot of Nate with his abilities to destroy lesser fight in incredible ways, but seems to not have that same level of abilities against the top of the heap.

He seemed to beat Held, Alvarez, Hawn, Freire and Henderson pretty soundly.  I think that Brooks just has his him figured out. Plus we don't really have a complete baseline of how he would do against the elite of lightweight because the UFC has the majority of them under contract.  I think that once Chandler goes into the UFC (should he decide to leave Bellator), we will truly get the answer.

Held has no striking and is pretty much cater made to get smash by CHandler.  Alevrez is a brawler who is perfect stylistic match for CHandler as is Freire. CHanlder gets a lot of good stylistic match ups.  Brooks came with a good jab and chandler just had not a single answer for it.  Hawn was never that good to begin with and has suspect striking like Held.  One guy who was not a great stylistic match up for chandler that had legit skills, beat him soundly twice. Even people who match up great with him in aleverez was able to beat him as well. To me he seems to have little answer once the things he does are not working, just in most cases what he does is enough to win/dominate. He reminds me of Nate where he smashes lesser fighters and can beat some elite guys that stylistically good match up but is not able to adapted when needed against other elite fighters. Hendo one I will admit is impressive. but personally think he been a shell of him self. He still good, but he not the same fighter he was in the UFC and even his last 2 UFC fights he seemed to be slipping but still good enough to hang in the top.
