Alexander Shlemenko commented on the outcome of the fight between Justin Gaethje and Michael Chandler.
"The fight between Chandler and Gaethje turned out to be an eye opener. It was hard to watch the others after that, especially the Usman vs. Covington fight. Michael and Justin overshadowed the main fight of the night. I wouldn't say that Gaethje added to it - he was already strong in striking technique, Michael gave him a chance to work on it. The guys had no desire to go to parterre, they wanted to chop and test the counter. Justin performed in his own manner and showed a tough fight for himself. At one point, Chandler was even closer to winning, with Justin wobbling a couple of times. Makhachev vs. Gaethje in a contender's fight? I think Justin has a wrestling problem. If he can't fix that, the fight will be easy enough for Islam," Shlemenko said.
