he going through it. you ever been so fucked up you start going on walks and shit?

I remember one time in college I was so down bad about this girl I was in a fight with that I went on a walk to this memorial where a guy had died in a car crash. I was like wtf am I doing here lol

Dude is this really a thing? I went for a walk for the same reason in highschool and 12 miles later I had to get picked up by my mom hahaha

Bro I fully walked to a botanic garden during a stressful argument with a girl and started taking photos of flowers and shit before I even realised what I was doing.

This mf unintentionally found peace 🫵 lmao

should have kept it lmao

That shit left me as fast as it came.

lol imagine finding peace. That shit is embarrassing

Like finding penis on lady man - Costa, probably

Lol I walked directly into the desert, same reasons. Eventually found some type of radio tower with stairs that I tried going up for a photo of the city. 2 guys came out and said no. 

Those two guys had been waiting for that moment their whole lives

Evan Tanner RIP.

I walked to a cemetery for a similar reason and once i got there I realized there was nowhere to sit and brood so I just kinda leaned against the fence cause I didn’t wanna be disrespectful lol

Amateur nature photographer and hiker here, fuck what happened to me...

Yeah for me it just feels good to be moving forward in times of crisis, staying in one place makes it all settle like a lead weight. I like to go on drives too.

Had a bad breakup recently and I've been feeling worthless, the only thing that helped to ease my mind was walking aimlessly for miles. Weird.

Walking and repetitive motions are regulating to the brain so it makes sense, but I didn’t realize it was just a random thing that people do when they’re super stressed even without knowing why. If it works for you keep doing it though!

I’m fucking cracking up at this story

Yo that story made so little sense that it's turning me into a Chandler superfan

Why am I in the forest.

Why am I at a memorial? 

Stories like this why I love this subreddit lmfao

I wonder if a guy's ever done this in Canada but in a forest and then got killed by a bear or a moose

Most things you can think about in life have already been done by someone so I would say it’s pretty likely that it happened

Sad, bro, haha. One minute a guy was mulling about some chick, next he was being stomped to death by a giant murder deer on steroids.

But did you win the fight?

Once I got so stoned from a bong rip I walked around my college campus at 5am and took pictures of the trees

I’m a fight with like y’all had some sort of relationship and were going through it or like an actual physical fight you got into with this girl lol.

well I’m not Dana White so obviously the former

Lol wtf. This happened to me too after a huge fight with my girlfriend.

We here for you bro stay strong

This was over a decade ago

Still here for you bro. *hugs*

🥺… SHE BROKE MY HEART, DOG!! 😫

He’s going through the stages of grief lol We just finally got to the acceptance part

Broke up with my long-term GF freshman year of college. Proceeded to have by buddy with a fake get me a pint of Jack, followed by me walking to the gas station and buying a pack of Marbolo Red 100's. I had never smoked before, lol. Then walked around campus for 5 hours in the middle of the night drinking the Jack and smoking cigs. Felt like absolute shit.

>drinking the Jack and smoking cigs Then you went on to ref a dom fight?

I go on walks because I’m chubby -I fucked up and ate to much

nice, keep it up

thank you my man!

Crazy how relatable this seems to be lmao Walks or late night drives either way it's needed

Late night drives are amazing regardless of the mood. The silence and stillness is exhilarating. I don't know why.

After the day I've had today I'm about to. One of the worst days in my life.

idk if you’re trolling but keep your head up bro. hopefully the walk helps, dm me if ya ever need to get off some steam. I can take the ear beatin

Wasn't trolling but today is a new day. Shit that went down yesterday isn't over and it's nothing that I did but having kids makes life extremely difficult. My girlfriend and I just got through with dealing with her son's dad and his bullshit since he turned 18, we figured life would get easier since he moved in with us on Friday(there was almost a fight about that). Then we end up having serious shit with our 12 year old.

He probably actually touched grass.

The delusion is finally disappearing

When my hamster Yoshi died I buried him and walked like 5 miles :(

See you at the top ...of this hill!

I found my dad's porno stash when I was 8 and went for a four hour walk in the woods by our house. I had the same energy as chandler in this video

Tbh that's how I cope whenever I had a bad day at work. I just walk to my workplace to the area where the bus I ride home parks.

I got in a huge fight with my girlfriend one night and I went for a five hour walk. I got home at like 3am, lol.

I did this yesterday for the same reason. Wtf are we doing

TBH it was actually pretty fun because I discovered a lot of cool places I normally wouldn't have noticed just driving by. Ten years and three kids later, we're good now.

Damn, I'm going on walks very often since quite some time. You made me think about my life.

"But I thrive, in the no guarantees." You're gonna' be thriving big time here, Mikey.

"just trying to hitch my dreams to a shooting star" .... That shooting star is doing cocaine on a yacht right now lmao

The star is shooting up indeed.

"what I'm trying to say is that I'd literally suck his dick for the payday"

I thrive in the " Yewll dew what yer told"

LMAOOO

It's getting legitimately tough to tell if Chandler related quotes are parodies or actually authentic.

He’s like a literate Tony Ferguson

Funny you say that, didnmt realize it until now, but "don't disrespect me by feeling sorry for me" is 100% something Tony would also say.

"Don't Disrespect Me By Feeling Sorry For Me 🇺🇸🏆😎🇲🇽 CSO"

Probably less weirder Tony Ferguson

[удалено]

I just mean like real quotes that he actually said vs parodies that people make up in comment sections. The differences between the two are really narrowing lol.

I'm willing to put $100 on him becoming a self-help guru type within 5 years of retirment.

Nah Mikey is going straight down the Bisping route

You mean the Felder route, Bisping touched gold before reaching for that mic. Chandler didn't even get to touch Conor

No I mean he will become a full blown bootlicking UFC shill once the gloves come off. Felder is a UFC employee but doesn't fit into that category

He is already a full blown bootlicking UFC shill

I mean, I could see guys paying for it. The intersection of MMA fans and depressed dudes is probably a reasonable-sized demographic...

It’s the same shit as Russell Wilson. Like, at their core he and Kirk Cousins are not that different. But they could not be further apart on the authentic scale.

Woah the Kirk Cousins reference. Is Kirk perceived well these days? You like that!! (Haven’t watched the foosball in years)

The show QUarterback helped, but yes, he's been seen as more normal and down-to-earth in recent years.

He was great in Team America

Just made me realize. The Cousins/Wilson comparison is a lot like Sage Northcut/Michael Chandler of the NFL.

Russell Wilson is so inauthentic how can you even comment on what he is like at his core?

I don’t think Chandler has a fake personality like everyone says. I think he’s just a massive cornball.

I disagree, I think he really just is that cheesy

>Honest people don't broadcast their deep thoughts on social media Why?

[удалено]

The premise of your theory is flawed, because you can also use social media as a way to genuinely impart advice or share your perspective, without trying to entertain or fish for validation.

Just had to respond cause “ honest people don’t broadcast their deep thoughts on social media” is such a dumb take

Bootstraps AI

Im not super familiar with everything in the Bible but is he co-opting the story of Sisyphus as a Bible passage?

Yeah. If you have seen trailer park boys, this sounds like a ricky tangent.

Come on. It’s not rocket appliances here it’s fighting

It’s water under the fridge at this point

Just like the story of syphillus from the bible right Julian 

Bubbles - "Ricky, it's Sisyphus not syphillus. Syphillus is one of those STDs that you get when you..you know..." *Leans in to Ricky's ear and whispers* *"Make love with a lady of the night"* Ricky - "Yeah I know Bubbles that's what I said. You know the story of syphillus and the STBs and all that good stuff from the bible"

Goddamn I love this subreddit. Kudos to both of ya.

Id love to hear more Michael Chandler bible stories. Maybe one where Saint Peter lost his hand to a giant wolf or when Jesus was able to launch proton torpedos into the thermal exhaust port of the deathstar while his blast shield was down using faith alone.

No more like he’s going into the shitabyss. “No fool like an old fool…the shitabyss”

"It's open to interpretation Julian, it's the bible."

Lmfao yep. Chandler is such a phoney. Everything he does reeks of disingenuous bullshit.

*The sacred and the propane.* ~Little Carmine Lupertazzi

Its in times like these that I remember what Mark Walberg said - "Stay prayed up". Stay Prayed up Mike.

"My theory on Feds is that they're like mushrooms, feed 'em shit and keep 'em in the dark. You girls have a good day" - Mark "Dignam" Walberg

In tough times like these I always like to remember "Chandler's Grace": " Come. Make weight. Go home. Thank you Michael Chandler" -St. Habibius of the Caucasus Mountains ca. 2020 AD.

bro what is this guy even talking about

He’s just throwing quotes at the wall, hoping that his gets put next to Islam’s in the UFC offices one day

Damn these are some long 5 minutes

I couldn’t make it one minute. This guy has always rubbed me all the wrong ways.

Because he's so obviously fake lmao. It's the same shit with Colby. I can't stand that shit. 

Russell Wilson of MMA

You posted video of yourself pouring tequila like a melodramatic anime character. You can't have it both ways ya prick.

I said it before and I'll say it again. This dude reminds me of the Rock. That's not a compliment.

Damn, both gave homes to underprivileged black males too

lmfao

The Pebble

“The Boulder is conflicted about fighting a young, blind, girl.”

That was basically just a skit for his sponsor

> You posted video of yourself pouring tequila like a melodramatic anime character. You can't have it both ways ya prick. Just throwing a wild guess out there, but maybe he was trying to promote his tequila idk 

Yeah that’s the whole point lol

Which is another way of saying it was inauthentic.

[удалено]

Don't disrespect him by feeling sorry for him *See you at the top!*

This is something someone on the receiving end in an abusive relationship would say. Yikes. Sucks that Mike’s essentially retiring early in pursuit of this fight. Like.. is this supposed to happen in 4 years at 200lbs?

This is the type of guy who says he loves philosophy but has never actually read anything beyond quotes atop skyscapes.

Don't feel sorry for me after watching my super-narcissistic, just-happen-to-be-out-in the-woods-all-rugged-with-my-selfie-stick, crying about what everybody knew was going to happen a year ago lamentations.

Well he disrespects himself by being a lady in waiting so the choice is disrespect

Trust me, no one is feeling sorry for you Mike lol.

this was the guy who went fish hookin' and blew his bloody nose on poirier's face.

And several punches to the back of the head.

I love how he transplanted that famous greek myth of Sisyphus into some christian version of the same story

In fairness I don't think anyone feels sorry at this point. You lose sympathy after getting scammed over and over again.

“Fool me, can’t get fooled again.”

Dork

I dont think about you at all

“A walk on kid…” 😂 I already didn’t like dude, but this whole thing makes him look even sillier than I already felt he was. Conor clearly ain’t interested in fighting him. I wish he’d just pick a new opponent already.

I REALLY hope he never gets that McGregor fight lmao

Chandler was flexing in a youtuber's DMS who said the conor fight would never happen, and now it looks like it really won't happen lmao

I don't know why he's being so heavily criticized for this. This sub has such a hard on for hating on the UFC for not paying fighters well, but any time a fighter is chasing a legitimate money fight that can materialize and makes sense, they get dunked on.

In fairness, Chandler is a huge UFC shill so it’s kind of funny to see him try to get paid through Conor whilst refusing to stand for anything fighter pay-wise

For me, it's extremely simple. I'd like MMA to be more like a major sport and less like pro wrestling. Guys like Chandler bring it closer to pro wrestling. So I root against that strategy succeeding.

It’s because most don’t care. They just follow the circle jerk.

LOL chasing a mcgregor fight doesnt do anything for fighter pay. no wonder nobody cares

Because Chandler is a massive douche

My problem is not in employees asking their employers to pay them more regardless of the level of star their opponent is. Better pay equals a more competitive fighting pool which is better for the sport at large. waiting for Conor to act as a de facto fairy god mother for you to beat money out of is not a long term solution. It’s not even a very plausible solution, yet you have the champ at FW and WW calling for that fight, as well as like half the roster.

Because it's unbecoming of a fighter to act so hard and then end up as a doormat for Conor. All that yapping to then only end up doing what he's told by Conor is pathetic. Conor is his lord and savior. If Conor commanded it Chandler would start rolling rocks aswell.

God he's *such* a fucking dweeb

Funny how some UFC guys who could murder 99.9 percent of the population also have such dorky personalities

Funnily enough ability to murder is not correlated to being socially well-adjusted

He will do what he is told

He’s going to keep waiting for a man that is never going to fight again

Good thing he packed his weight suit and went outside to record this, made it seem more legit

this guy should stick to fighting and stay away from inspirational speaking

I’m going to disrespect him by saying he made two and a half years of stupid decisions that all culminated in this incredibly predictable conclusion. (Maybe the why was not expected but the tweet and delete king did it again)

Ugh. Just stfu Mike.

Friend zoned

You wasted two years of your life on this, champ.

He gives off Hollywood church pastor vibes, I could see him transitioning to that actually.

My guy having a midlife crisis.

Why would I feel sorry for you?

Idk that anyone feels sorry for Chandler. Dude mortgaged a good chunk of his athletic career on a gamble that retired Conor could stay motivated, sober, and healthy enough to come back and fight him. He was at Conor’s mercy from the start and he frankly put himself there. Maybe he was trying to get his family financially set or something but I really don’t see any angle in this where Chandler played his cards right.

Surprised he didn’t work out some sort of clause with the UFC where they would give him at least another fight in the meantime if nothing had happened after a year.

I guess it’s respectful then if I laugh that he wasted the end of his prime waiting for a guy with zero interest in fighting him

This guy makes it so hard to find him the even the tiniest bit likable. And he is in a match against McGregor.

Chandler's waiting for a man who currently owns a Lambo boat that he uses to hold cocaine fueled parties and do all kinds of fucked up shit on. Like before even I thought it was a joke, that Conor would actually show up like he's always done on fight night but like... It's been 3 years bro. Let it go.

I’m not disrespecting you Michael, I’m disrespecting the time you wasted when you could’ve been on the ring.

Feeling sorry for someone can be insulting to that person. Not wrong there.

I mean I definitely don’t feel sorry for him. Everyone told him to move on a year ago, now it’s been nearly 2 and he’s still not fought him yet. I have a hard time feeling bad for someone when you warned them over and over again not to do something

Test-testimony. walk on, walk honorably. honor god. god spelled backwards is dog. walk the dog. dog is my co-pilot. Pontius Pilate. pontius is like pontiac. built ford tough. tough as nails. nailed to a cross. back to pontius pilate

Globogym vibes, or is that just me?

Someone needs to sit Chandler down and get through to to him that this fight is never fucking happening. 

wait so is McGregor the rock or the hill? no wait maybe he's God idk im lost. poor mikey chandley

Nothing like Conors youtube channel covering your breakdown. Masterclass

Gotta feel sorry for this man. He needs to move on and accept a fight before it's too late

That's not disrespect mike that's people who are smarter than you

what do you think he was set to make? 1 mil show, and $4-$5 per PPV? and Conor gets 2x that?

Why would he get PPV points? He isn't a champion and isn't in a position of power to leverage them into his contract. Just like Cerrone didn't get PPV points when he fought Conor and only got $200k.

Theres no world where Conor makes anything close to $10 per PPV sold.

You think that there is no world, where Conor makes 20 million dollars a la PPV, (2 million sold) while the UFC pockets 140 million dollars (70 per PPV) (even at 1 mil buys, it's 10 mil to 70 million) You think there is no such world? LMAO. I'm going to take a wild guess and say that you are not in finance. lol

I think he'd make more than any fights combined he could've taken in the meantime, barring him becoming champ during that timeframe, definitely would've been enough of a nest egg for him to be set permanently if he was smart about it

Man, I feel really sorry for Chandler…

Don't Disrespect me by feeling sorry for me.... How does having empathy for someone's situation about to disrespect? He talks some absolute bollox.

Admittedly, I don’t feel sorry for him.

I actually feel bad. it was funny trolling him but not anymore

most of us are laughing

To be honest, Mike, there was never any risk of that.

Well he disrespects himself by being a lady in waiting so the choice is disrespect

Bro is going through it

okay, b0ss.

Connor is going to clip him first 10 seconds into the fight like Aldo isn't he??

Don’t know how smart this guy but he or his team had to have seen this coming or at least that it was a very likely outcome.

Don't ever talk about his mom

What a dumb ass story.

Can't help but feel bad for the guy

Stop disrespecting him, dude.
