“Whether Bellator likes to admit it or not, they don’t have USADA” Chandler said. “That’s the hard part about it all. I can’t sit here and say I have USADA knocking on my door every other day like some of these guys. I see USADA at the gym and get a little bit jealous because I wish they were testing me.”

Dustin Poirier, TKO, R3
Conor McGregor was a fighter then. But now, he has only fought Donald Cerrone. I'm not criticizing him but just look at Dustin's regime. He's beaten the bests in the industry. He is calm and his mindset sounds like he does not cares about anything at all other than just fighting Conor and he's focused. This time the rematch will go in the favor of Dustin Poirier.

Truth is, I believe, that this fight will last 15 tough minutes, Chandler going for takedowns, Hooker with some powerful shots.

Historically guys come over from Bellator to try and compete towards the top of a division have not done well...in fact they end up getting KO'd a fair majority of the time.
I'm thinking Hooker by KO. He's just gotta be able to keep it standing and shake off the takedown attempts which he has been pretty good at in his career.

Chandler will shock all you fools that think bellator is garbage.

Conor McGregor, TKO, R1
It's funny seeing people going off of what happened in 2014 and using that to predict what will happen now in 2021. So much changes in over a year, yet alone 7 YEARS. This will definitely be tougher than people are assuming, Dustin deserves more respect than he's getting. I still have Conor via TKO round 1 though lol. Conor just has so much pop and power in his striking, being at lightweight brings more of that power, plus Dustin gets hit.. a lot
Hooker vs. Chandler
Dan Hooker, TKO, R1
Should've put Chandler up against someone like Iaquinta or Kevin Lee for his ufc debut
Rountree vs. Prachnio
Marcin Prachnio, TKO, R1
There's always that big underdog in a PPV, I feel it's Prachnio here
Sanchez vs. Muradov
Makhmud Muradov, TKO, R2
Stylistically this fight should be in Muradov's hands
Lentz vs. Evloev
Movsar Evloev, SUB, R1
The audacity

He'll have some good fights and be competitive against most UFC fighters, but he's not getting a strap.
