Nothing bad can happen if you train your butt off and make the right decisions and surround yourself with the right people.
Quote by -Michael Chandler
Training in Las Vegas at Xtreme Couture was awesome and I was there for almost two years.
Quote by -Michael Chandler
When people talk about the lightweight division they will probably mention my name a little bit. Whether they believe I don't deserve to be up there or I do, they are at least going to mention me.
Quote by -Michael Chandler
You see it from my area, from any area, really, so many who want to be great and have the drive, but don't have the resources. I'm very blessed that I have a family that was financially stable enough to get me to tournaments and camps and to practices so I could wrestle year-round.
Quote by -Michael Chandler
When you're wrestling, it's such an amazing sport. I love it. I loved that I came from that background.
Quote by -Michael Chandler
I've had a phenomenal life. I have a phenomenal God that I serve. I have a phenomenal wife.
Quote by -Michael Chandler
Everyone who has kids that you talk to tells you, 'Wait until you have kids. It's going to change you.' You're like, 'Nah, come on. How can it change you that much?' But it changes you so much.
Quote by -Michael Chandler
The greatest thing about fighting a guy like Dave Rickels: He always comes to fight.
Quote by -Michael Chandler
I didn't have to fight. I chose to fight. I believe God put me on this Earth to be able to do this and do it at a high level.
Quote by -Michael Chandler
I love Scott Coker and I love Bellator and I love what we have built together and it's a little uneasy to think that I will no longer be under contract with Bellator after I knock out Benson Henderson and get my hand raised.
Quote by -Michael Chandler
I'm trying to be the best lightweight fighter in the world. That's my main objective. I just have to keep my head up, keep training and enjoy this awesome ride that I'm on.
Quote by -Michael Chandler
Bellator wouldn't be who they are without my performances and Michael Chandler wouldn't be who he is without Bellator promoting him and us having a phenomenal symbiotic relationship.
Quote by -Michael Chandler
Bellator has taken care of me, and I've taken care of them. It's been the perfect storm of a symbiotic relationship - them having an asset they were not willing to lose, and me being in a situation where the grass isn't always greener on the other side.
Quote by -Michael Chandler
Life throws you curveballs and there are things that happen - you don't understand why they happened at the time. But then you step back and understand you're a better fighter and competitor because of the things that happened.
Quote by -Michael Chandler
For as long as I can remember, our family has been huge Cardinals fans. My grandpa is a personal friend of Whitey Herzog's; they were neighbors for decades. Our love and support of the Cardinals definitely runs deep.
Quote by -Michael Chandler
Obviously, beating Alvarez was the first step to getting my name out there. Now people now know who I am and see, at least in some part, that I'm the real deal.
Quote by -Michael Chandler
For me, getting up is an inside job, but it has been hard stepping in the cage with guys who I've had to lose against and not a lot to gain.
Quote by -Michael Chandler
I'm just getting better every single day and I want to be the best in the world.
Quote by -Michael Chandler
It is not that hard to go out there and put on the performance of your life and beat any guy in the lightweight division on any given night.
Quote by -Michael Chandler
Not since 2011, when I stepped into the cage and fought Eddie Alvarez for the first time and was the extreme underdog - I've never quite had that feeling of a 10 since then.
Quote by -Michael Chandler
If I could do this until I was 60, I would. This is a great life. All I do is train, all I do is work out, and prolong my life by the training that I'm doing, the things I have to do as professional athlete.
Quote by -Michael Chandler
Benson Henderson is a guy that I fought before. He has two arms and two legs. He has certain patterns, mannerisms and tendencies that I know I can go out there and exploit.
Quote by -Michael Chandler
I had so much growing up and I'm so thankful for all the people who invested in my life.
Quote by -Michael Chandler
I'm going to stash up my cash and invest in real estate. I want to be set up for the end of fighting.
Quote by -Michael Chandler
I've taken fights on short notice while injured to help save shows, and in return I've been taken care of.
Quote by -Michael Chandler
Finishing a guy like Benson Henderson, who hasn't been finished since for six years, the guy doesn't get finished and I finished it with a switch-step switch to Southpaw, knocked him out with my left hand.
Quote by -Michael Chandler
I built my name on fighting so hard - I'll always do that - but I'm also trying to become more of a veteran, to be be calm and calculated and not always trying to bowl people over.
Quote by -Michael Chandler
There are always a ton of different people to learn from and people that are pushing me to get better.
Quote by -Michael Chandler
I knew I wanted to fight. It's a great way to continue competing and not to mention actually make money. You can make a career out of it.
Quote by -Michael Chandler
Letting emotion get into it isn't part of my game. Letting animosity or a rivalry come into it, that's all for the show.
Quote by -Michael Chandler
I love collegiate wrestling but the thought of training for international stuff just didn't really appeal to me.
Quote by -Michael Chandler
I just try to keep the main thing the main thing: getting my butt in the gym.
Quote by -Michael Chandler
I actually have a tattoo on the left side of my chest that says 'Blessed.' It represents how blessed I've been in my life and how thankful I am for all that I have.
Quote by -Michael Chandler
There's still times I wish I could throw on the black and gold singlet and go out there in the Hearnes Center and wrestle for the Missouri Tigers. I miss that and I miss the stuff about college wrestling.
Quote by -Michael Chandler
I do have some unfinished business with Josh Thomson. I think that's a fight fans want to see, it's a fight Bellator wants, it's a fight I want.
Quote by -Michael Chandler
Brandon Girtz is a tough man who can really throw the leather, but I'm on a different level.
