"Anyone in mixed martial arts, whether they're lying to you or not, would do the same thing I did. Trust me - they're all filled with envy because of the position I'm in. They can all act like tough guys and say they would have had four fights in the time I sat idle. Maybe I missed one or two fights, but none of them will compare to what's going to happen on June 29," Chandler said.
Recall, earlier Chandler criticized Tsarukyan for refusing to go out for a title fight against Islam Makhachev seven weeks after winning a challenger fight against Charles Oliveira.
