After an emphatic finish in his UFC debut, Michael Chandler has officially entered the promotion’s lightweight title race. Chandler (22-5 MMA, 1-0 UFC) made quick work of the durable Dan Hooker in the co-main event of UFC 257, in what Dana White called the most impressive UFC debut in recent memory. As soon as Chandler stopped Hooker, he cut an epic promo and then made sure to watch the night’s headliner between Dustin Poirier and Conor McGregor, where “The Diamond” stunned “The Notorious” with a second-round TKO.
