After top 10ish, the next giant group is probably all similar. It would be hard to name 20 fighters definitively more popular than Chandler.
Because his name has been associated next to Conor’s for the last 18 months.
Being a fan favorite fighter is great and all but he hasn’t fought in nearly two years or won a fight in over two years.
Only reason he’s in this position to fight Conor is because he’s a favorable match up for Conor’s return fight, and not because he’s some huge star.
