NEW YORK – Dana White doesn’t care about Michael Chandler ’s record inside the octagon, because the entertainment factor is always there. Chandler (23-9 MMA, 2-4 UFC) returned from a two-year layoff on Saturday and suffered a unanimous decision loss in his rematch with Charles Oliveira (35-10 MMA, 23-10 UFC) at UFC 309 , which took place at Madison Square Garden. The lightweight contest was awarded Fight of the Night honors , but as a result the former Bellator champ saw his promotional record drop further below .500. For Chandler, 38, the result hurts his push to challenge for the 155-pound title. But for White, the performance only further solidified what he already knew – that Chandler is a UFC lifer. “He’s like an Arturo Gatti,” White told MMA Junkie and other reporters post-fight at UFC 309
