The cardio inability.

It hasn't been a day that has gone by and my mixed martial arts career that I haven't dreamed about putting on those UFC gloves, stepping into that octagon and competing against the best guys in the world.

I've got my eyes set on the U.

F C title.

It is the gold standard by which I want to hang my name on.

I have been saying it over the last 11 years that I am the best lightweight in the world.

I just haven't had the opportunity to prove it until now.

But now that I'm signing with the UFC now, it's go time.

I told Dana I'm not here for a long time.

I'm here for a good time and pull your hat downtime because we're about to have a wild ride.

It is Chandler good enough within this division to go all the way to the top.

Yes, yes.

And if you want to see whether or not Michael Chandler is ready for the elite of the division, he has to beat Dan Hooker, which is not an easy thing to do I never thought he'd make the transition over, but it's good to welcome him the only way I know how.

My glory a in real trouble.

I've got my game.

I've got my name in the UFC.

I've crawled my way to the top of the lightweight division.

That's that's just how have you are my spot, 100% big.

Knocked out for hookers.

The hanged man does it again.

If he's coming here, anything, you could just walk in and sidestep a lot of the other guys.

He's got another thing coming.

I have a chip on my shoulder that a lot of these UFC guys don't have.

I've had to hear the doubt from all of the naysayers for the last decade.

Not only do I wanna prove a bunch of people wrong, but I want to prove myself right.

Either I am who I say I am or I'm not.

I've never been more confident in my abilities as a man and as a competitors as a vessel of violence.

If I step into the cage with any of the top lightweights in the entire world, I think I'm coming on top.

I feel like I'm just gonna walk.

I'm just gonna pick him apart.

Him he's gonna need to risk.

He said it himself.

He's gonna take me down.

He's gonna He's gonna put me on my back.

I'd like to see you try it.

I'm not that easy to get down.

I'm even harder to keep down.

Beautiful transitioning from Dan Hooker.

There's the top.

I think I could match him cardio for cardio shot for shot position for a position.

I'm ready to step inside that cage with Dan.

Hooker introduced myself in dominant fashion to the UFC fans, and I will be UFC lightweight champion with the next 18 months.

I plan on picking him apart from the outside.

When he gets desperate, he's not run into my knee.

We'll put him away.

Hey, have that matchup.

Well, you at UFC 2 57 Spider to the scales.

Delicate light weight change.

Yeah, I, Michael Chang.

The official weight.

150 £5 for Michael Chandler.

Hey, opponent has there happy number six ranked UFC lightweight contender 1 56.

The official wait for New Zealand's Dan Hooker.

Yes, Yes.

The fuck are you doing Alright, folks, It all comes down to this as we lay out to take a look at the men on the marquee, the two lightweight legends who will share the Octagon in tomorrow night's epic made of first time I fought Conner.

I got hit with a good shot.

But this is a different fight.

I know I'm one of the best in the world.

I know who I am, and I know I could scrap.

Distant Warrior is a since the first time they thought, No, What we've seen is the culmination of all of its hard work.

Unbelievable, resolved, unbelievable toughness, all those landing hard.

I don't know how these guys are still on their face.

He has fought for everything he's ever got.

Hard, dark skin.

It was inevitable belt for us toe meet.

Again.

Fans can expect something they've never seen before.

There's no one that is it, like I'm always looking to make history every single day.

I sent my legacy in stone.

It's all over.

You can.

I've achieved everything I ever set out to achieve, and I'm very proud of my achievements.

I have so past that level again.

I just feel I'm untouchable early that kicked from a crime.

Carter Dragger.

E Bilson Think he's a good fire?

Even a great for you.

You know what?

Great.

It still is still levels below me.

I still better than going back to that first fight.

That was a learning experience I had to go through.

Made me into the guy.

To the fighter, to the father, to the person I am now.

E had a taste of the interim title.

It felt great.

And I want more.

This fight makes sense now is because I believe I'm the number one contender.

Connor wants to come back.

He's talking about being the lightweight champion again.

So when those lights turn on and Bruce introduces us, I'm going to stop.

Connor, what do you want to do this time?

I'll knock busting out inside 60 seconds.

I'm gonna beat the time that I beat him in before gonna beat the shop.

I beat him in.

Also, it's a wrap.
