Rafael dos Anjos Issues Stern Message to Michael Chandler: Get In Line
Back in November when Islam Makhachev pulled out of his UFC Vegas 14 headliner against Rafael dos Anjos, dos Anjos proposed that Michael Chandler fill in as a replacement. Chandler would then hit dos Anjos with the ol’ “I have other plans,” and dos Anjos would instead win a unanimous decision over Felder.
As for Chandler, he would win a higher-profile bout over Dan Hooker at UFC 257 and score the #4 ranking in the division, which is three spots higher than dos Anjos, who currently sits at #7. This means that Michael Chandler is closer to a title shot, both in terms of the rankings and also based on current buzz.
