Michael Chandler Plans To Bring Out Charles Oliveira’s Inner Quitter At UFC 309

After two years of anticipation, Michael Chandler is finally making his return to the octagon. He has moved on from his hopes of facing Conor McGregor and is now set to face former world champion Charles Oliveira. This exciting matchup will take place as the co-main event at UFC 309. Recently, Chandler revealed his strategy, aiming to bring out Oliveira’s inner quitter at UFC 309.

In the upcoming PPV event, ‘Iron’ promises to deliver a memorable night for fans. He also mentioned that his goal is to bring out the quitter inside Brazilian fighter Charles Oliveira. During an interview with Daniel Cormier, Chandler said:

“Once a quitter, always a quitter. That little quitter is still inside of him. It’s just got to be brought out, and maybe I can do it on Saturday.”

Chandler believes his performance will bring out the old Oliveira, recalling a time when the Brazilian fighter had a tendency to quit during fights due to damage, only to make a strong comeback later and become champion. While it’s hard to predict whether ‘Iron’ will actually be able to bring that side of Oliveira out again, it’s worth noting that the Brazilian has already defeated Chandler once before.
