Michael Chandler - Will Brooks

Chandler was the favorite in the match canceled with champion Eddie Alvarez. Rarely we can see a contender favorite against a champion but not unfairly. In their first fight he placed him on the 4 round with Rear-Naked Choke in the second lost marginally with a split decision in a very ambiguous battle. He is a good wrestler but he stands out for his strong fists and he is completed by the very good bjj. THE Brooks has lost a knockout match, so it's even worse now to drop knockout with the logic that he has never again faced such strong punches. It does not stand out for anything, nor does it follow any special tactics. But what he likes is that you are improving and in every battle seems to be the strongest fighter. He is likely to put Chandler on the ground simply with pure muscle. It is certain that in this fight he will have difficulty showing his muscular superiority because both are good wrestlers. If the match expires early, I see Chandler winner, but if they go to the judges, Brooks predict that he is more likely to win points with takedowns. They feel unjust from this fight because they have to face the champion, but they are more fair at the moment.
