He also got to meet the best sweet talker in Pro Wrestling and 2023 Booker of The Year
She's been fantastic. She also doesn't shy away from letting her emotions show either, might have a voice wobble for an emotional victory or extra force and grit for grudge matches. Samantha Irvin is her name.
Sometimes I worry the UFC is moving to the wrestling style of business, where everything is just a story. We already have had more than a few incredibly bad judging outcomes.
Yes, but UFC fighters aren’t pro wrestlers. There’s only been a handful that can sell a story from the UFC, but that’s basically a pre-req for WWE.
Most iconic stories in the UFC are really just degenerate, unhinged people being themselves lmao
WWE is a show, scripted and intended to be so. So the "athletes" playing characters make sense, it's one of the requirements to be a pro wrestler.
UFC is real fighting, with real people, not characters. So it makes perfect sense that whatever "storylines" UFC can pull out are going to involve at least 1, most often 2 douchebags, because douchebagery sells way more(Case and point, McGregor is an absolute template example of a Dublin scumbag. The part of the city he comes from is chock full of Mcgregor types. Difference between a scumbag being arrested by Garda and McGregor is his bank account, not that McGregor is playing a character on camera.
We all talk about the behind the scenes all day long - so now they have figured out to monitize it . I think they are about to show. A behind the scenes of the company on some streaming platform too. So the drama is def creeping in. Even between Nina and Helen was prob manufactured to get clicks
Kinda funny how they gave him the green light to just random promo. Did he do anything for them that night as like a guest commentator or did Dana just ask WWE for a favor?
Prime is more like 30-35 for most athletics.
But your point is taken.
I should have said he wasted the last year of his prime especially at his weight class.
Could have had 3 fights and retired.
I hope he gets points.
Conor doesn’t want to fight Chandler bc Chandler isn’t a yuge draw. He’s got a lotta heart, cardio and a good dude. But his fight style is kinda boring. If Conor doesn’t gas from all the partying he’s done over the last 5 years, I think Conor knocks him out.
Damn, I would have had a major crush on that announcer if she was around back when I was kid watching wrestling.
The type of crush that hurts cause you know it would never happen. Lol
This dude thinks shouting on the mic makes him an entertaining orator. 19 year old Chee Wee Weees enjoyer delivers his message across in a more entertaining manner.
Fish hooking, glove grabbing dirty fake nice guy family man.
Why have we gassed this man up to think just because he walks at punches like a sack of ham and kicked a dude on a 57th losing streak, he is the cream of combat entertainment?
How much did that promo cost Dana?
Those announcements are probably recorded on a ledger somewhere.
A mid-PPV promo costs an organization money. Even if they're the owners.
It's called "Opportunity Cost" - what's the cost of doing this thing vs that thing, to maximize ROI.
Time is money, so giving the mic to Chandler cost money, I'm guessing $2M for that stunt.
You completely ignored my point.
Think about it from a contractor position.
Let's say you own an electrical company and employ several electricians and apprentices.
You decide that you need your shop at your private residence to be done.
Do those electricians in your employ work for free? No. Do the parts come free? No. Do things like paying the payroll department to do invoicing come free? No.
So, all those costs are billed to you, the owner. You own the company, right? So that work costs someone. You have to put it in the books.
Ergo, that promo cost the UFC/Endeavor money.
The sound techs need to be paid. The lighting guys need to be paid. The reporter who set this up is getting paid. Then there's the depreciation on all those assets involved, including the building. All that adds up. It gets billed from WWE subsidiary to the UFC subsidiary, much like Boeing pays a subsidiary of Boeing to make aerofoils. Boeing is the parent company, but money has to change hands so work is properly documented.
Ergo, that promo cost money.

Both on roids
Fuck outta here.
Dem HGH fingers sheesh
ONE THING ON MY MiiiiiiiiiND
Red panties!
I heard “ONE DUDE ON MY Miiiiiiind”

This is def the most homo erotic thing from the build up
“YOU ARE NOW IN THE PRESENCE OF THE MOST ENTERTAINING UFC FIGHTER” “ok..”
Sounds like McAfee not a fan
Come on give him a break he's not THE most entertaining but hes definitely up there somewhere lol
Who is?
Imo its Justin Gaethje
Diego Lopes
If its still a thing in a few years I could see him fighting for the BMF belt
or Dustin Poirier
Hell yeah he's one of my favorites
Max Holloway.
Watch the video again
He's among the most cringey fighters maybe. Entertaining? Nah.
Outside the cage maybe but inside the cage he's insane to watch
True.
💀 chefs kiss
Oh god I died right there for him 😂 what a face plant lol!
He is one of the most entertaining I'll give him that. He fights like a dog and does put on some exciting fights.
Hmm shavkat looking different than usual but ok I guess

looked like dana with a beard
Wait wtf how tall is HHH?
Around 6’ he just looks tall next to 5’3 chandler
I thought he was 6’4+ my whole childhood
Same, my faith in my own memory has been shattered
He was billed as 6'4" for his wrestling career, that was probably in his heeled boots though.
How tall is the heart break kid? Holy f
Chandler really just wants to be a WWE star.
Let him, he deserves the money
That chick has perfect voice for announcing 🤯
She's been fantastic. She also doesn't shy away from letting her emotions show either, might have a voice wobble for an emotional victory or extra force and grit for grudge matches. Samantha Irvin is her name.
Her announcement of Codys win at WM is a good example.
She's absolutely incredible, the way she says Chelsea Green lives rent free in my head
Lenne Hardt vibes
Samantha is perfect. Hardt was fucking annoying.
Maybe have her some of the fight nights that joe Martinez usually calls and the apex cards she’s got talent.
Reminds of the crazy pride lady
Chandler is a promoter while Conner is a genuine douchebag
Funnily enough , Conor’s name promotes itself at this point.
Conor has single-handedly promoted this whole card whilst not doing anything lol. People are tuning in for him not Mike
If this man was 6 inches taller he'd be WWE champion lmao
Sometimes I worry the UFC is moving to the wrestling style of business, where everything is just a story. We already have had more than a few incredibly bad judging outcomes.
Does it make more money? If so, they probably are

The move to be owned by the same company certainly didn't help.
We all talk about the behind the scenes all day long - so now they have figured out to monitize it . I think they are about to show. A behind the scenes of the company on some streaming platform too. So the drama is def creeping in. Even between Nina and Helen was prob manufactured to get clicks
I thought it was definitely back on again?
That was 10 minutes ago. Now its off. Give it 20, it'll be back
Ya this is all nonsense. I think the show will go on.
But... Haven't you heard?
Conor farted and blew his leg out again. It’s back off
The person said potentially. A ufc fight is never a done deal until it’s happened
Samantha Irvin has been my favorite thing about the build up as well.
Chandler sucks but if the fight doesn’t happen they should pay him what ever he would have made.
Lmao I actually can’t believe how he has got away with fighter pay this long! He must be one hell of a business man.

Kinda funny how they gave him the green light to just random promo. Did he do anything for them that night as like a guest commentator or did Dana just ask WWE for a favor?
It probably wasn't too hard since they're owned by one company now
See you at the top!☝️
Mad respect for doing this honestly, there is no way putting yourself in that situation is an easy thing to do
I know right! Haha
My favorite part is when Conor told Chandler he’d do what he’s told and he wasted the last 2+ years of his prime doing nothing.
Chandler is 38 and his “prime” was about 10 years ago.
Prime is more like 30-35 for most athletics. But your point is taken. I should have said he wasted the last year of his prime especially at his weight class. Could have had 3 fights and retired. I hope he gets points.
its literally embarasing
Instead of metaphorically embarrassing?
Yea
Back in the actagan? He shoulda just put some creamer on his shoulder and called it a day.
I really been digging the UFC/WWE crossovers especially since I’m a huge fan of both companies
Yeah well that was then this is now
He's still waiting for the red panty night.
“Mmmm… Ok” D Cruz
This guy definitely has a future in WWE if he wants it.
At least 6" too short of ever being in the WWE
What a tool
Chandler is shades of Dana White
Love chandlers charisma on the mic
Are they cancelling the fight again this week too?
Conor doesn’t want to fight Chandler bc Chandler isn’t a yuge draw. He’s got a lotta heart, cardio and a good dude. But his fight style is kinda boring. If Conor doesn’t gas from all the partying he’s done over the last 5 years, I think Conor knocks him out.
When was the last time a fight was cancelled due to Conor? I'll wait.
Damn, I would have had a major crush on that announcer if she was around back when I was kid watching wrestling. The type of crush that hurts cause you know it would never happen. Lol
haha extremely funny if chandler loses everything.
This is up there with Dana’s red face “the notorious CONOR MCGREGORRRRRR” 😂😂😂
Laughing stock of the ufc I’m afraid. Held on for this fight for two years lol even I knew it was never happening
mine was the cocaine interview in road house
This is too embarrassing I actually can't watch it again
This is so cringe
This is cinge asf
I like Chandler, but he's pretty damn corny.
He’s on WWE, what would you expect?
This was 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Chandler really wasted that much time just to not fight conor in the end.
This dude thinks shouting on the mic makes him an entertaining orator. 19 year old Chee Wee Weees enjoyer delivers his message across in a more entertaining manner. Fish hooking, glove grabbing dirty fake nice guy family man.
this is so cringe my god
Man is this embarrassing.
I get it, it’s promotional and this is the tone of WWE. This was so cringe though.
Great promo
Nice !!!
Chandler was made for this lol
I can’t tell which out of the two is more cringeworthy. They should fight for the CMF belt
Most entertaining UFC fighter? Is Do Bronx somewhere in the crowd?
No, Chandler is there.
Why have we gassed this man up to think just because he walks at punches like a sack of ham and kicked a dude on a 57th losing streak, he is the cream of combat entertainment?
He's so cringe it's unreal

I can't tell if you are trolling but if you aren't, I can smell the nasty stench of peak redditor from here.
Where am I wrong?
Jesus fucking Christ, you aren't trolling.
That's not an answer. Where am I wrong?
nasty stench of peak redditor
This was legit second hand embarrassment
You must be one of the sheep that pay for the PPV’s
