Any thoughts on this bout? 

I still haven’t decided. I’m leaning Gaethje by TKO.

Both are maniacs with pretty impressive fight and skill tree resumes and recent defense learned.
I went Justin purely on the level of strikers he has beaten, and toughness he showed even in loss.
The Kbob thing was sad but he aint fighing him so not important, deciding factor is Mike lost bad to two featherweights.

Yes, I think they match up really well, roughly the same speed and power. Tougher competition so far for Justin for sure.

I think training with Trevor Wittman, will be the difference, and I also think he’s gonna make Chandler stand and bang.

Do you think this fight goes the distance?

I find it very unlikely to make it past 2 rounds, chandler is pretty fast and aggressive.
Just plods more but usually moves forward no idea why this is underlined.

This is the toughest fight on the card to predict.

I think Chandler plays it safe and gets the submission. He's not a spring chicken anymore and i'm sure he knows that so if he loses here he may never sniff a title shot again. We saw how bad Gaejthes ground game was in his last outing, granted that was against Khabib but i'm sure Chandler imagines he cud do somewhat the same.

I feel Chandler is going to be liable to be caught by the left hook like he was against Oliveira. Gaethje does love it, and he does hit a lot harder than Charles.

Will Chandler be able to take him down? That’s the next question.
