Chandler is here for a good time, not a long time.
He is not looking to wrestle and even if he gets it down once or twice I can't see him finishing Poirier there

Hooker via KO rd 3
I’m weirdly confident in hooker this weekend. Other then the hail mary sub which would probably be from a kneebar, how does claudio win? Imo I think hooker should be at least a -200 so -160 is pretty solid. The level of competition is crazy to me beating gruetz, leavitt, and guida is no where near the competition hooker has lost to. Puelles has absolutely nothing to offer on the feet, his striking is brutal with only landing 1.99 super telegraphed strikes per minute vs hookers 4.91 strikes landed against actual competition. Hooker also has 78% takedown defence, so how does puelles setup his ****** takedowns? Yeah hookers last loss is a bad look but dropping down to 145 with how big he is it was likely for him to lose due to the massive speed advantage in allen who would also bodybag puelles if they were to fight. I see hooker finding the 3rd rd ko or a dominant decision.

Like why would he only use it against Perreria and Costa, And not against at least Rob, Vettori, Romero and Jan, And Brunson, Kelvin and Taveres at the time also,

Michael Chandler
Selecting Michael Chandler for no reason. Why? Because of skills, in terms of grappling, striking as well

Israel Adesanya, DEC
22-1 vs 6-1 speaks for itself. Who cares what happened in another sport. Alex hasn’t earned my pick in a fight or this caliber. Wouldn’t be surprised if Izzy finishes him honestly

Romero also has that monstrous build but he was past 40 and slower so that's different. Adesanya coasted a bit that fight (though mostly Romero is to blame) But Adesanya had a lot of respect after Romero tagged him once and just rode out the clock to a decision win after that.
I think you're generally right that a decision to cheat is made earlier in a career but it's not impossible that he thought it was special circumstances. Could be the same kind of rationalizations going on here, "I really won my fight vs Perreira except for that one slipup so I deserve this" or whatever, who knows?

I see Carla as the most undeserving champion in ufc history, unlike Sterling she didn’t actually fight to earn her title. She played grab ass for 5 rounds with Rose
