Michael Chandler Sits Down With Megan Olivi | UFC LIBERTY 250
Veteran Michael Chandler previews his lightweight clash with Mauricio Ruffy — experience, explosiveness, and stakes on the sport's biggest stage.
Still Elite
Chandler says doubters motivate him. He has retooled camp around durability and smart entries — knowing Ruffy will hunt the early knockout.
His wrestling remains the equalizer, but he has invested in counter-striking to keep dangerous opponents honest at range.
White House Motivation
Chandler calls LIBERTY 250 a career bookmark. A win keeps him in lightweight title discussions; a loss would demand honest reassessment.
He expects a violent, fan-friendly fight — the kind that defines both men's reputations for years.
Ruffy hits hard. I've been hit by everyone. I stay standing.Michael Chandler
