The two of them would then be on hand as a back-up if both principal eventer fell out. That bout did not occur with each other, but Chandler was however enlisted to journey to UFC Battle Island in Abu Dhabi to prepare as if he had been preventing, make weight, and be prepared to action in if anything took place to possibly most important event fighter.

The odds of that are unlikely, so it isn’t surprising if Chandler seems to be ahead to whom he thinks will be his 1st opponent in the Octagon.
