UFC star Michael Chandler desperately needs a victory in 2025.
The former triple Bellator champion has lost three fights in a row of some of the world's best light weights, including Dustin Poirier, Charles Oliveira (twice) and Paddy Pimblett-De Worst Losing Skid of his MMA career.
Admittedly, Michael Chandler has been here before and returns from back-to-back losses to Will Brooks and Eddie Alvarez with a victory over the All-Action Derek Campos ten years ago.
After his TKO loss against Pimblett on UFC 314, Chandler was called by a non -screamed, but exciting lightweight that never went the distance.

Terrance McKinney challenges Michael Chandler: 'Time for a new man of the house'
Win, Lose of Trap, Terrance McKinney has made an exciting addition to the UFC Lightweight Division.
McKinney won his UFC debut with 7-second knockout in 2021 and achieved seven finishes in the Octagon. In his professional career, McKinney has only left the first round four times. He has never seen the scorecards of the jury members, lost by knockout and submission on several occasions.
The lightweight proclaimed Chandler after his last loss to see who is the best first round hunter of the division.
“Your sons are all mature times for a new man from the house,” wrote McKinney on X, because Chandler's adopted son is Afro-American.
“Lol Twrecks vs Iron Mike let's see who is the best first RD person in the lightweight division.”
“And if he thinks I am an easy fight for even more reason to take it, he needs a W on a 6 fight that loses streak,” McKinney added.

Chandler is actually on a three-fight loss streak. However, it seems that McKinney is not much to Chandler's 2022 KO victory on Tony Ferguson, who left the UFC with the longest losing Skid in company history (8).
“We don't count one of that WS,” McKinney responded to a fan who said that Chandler was 2-5 in the UFC.
McKinney comes back-to-back stop winds on Damir Hadzovic and Vicheslav Borshchev.
Michael Chandler unveils the timeline for UFC Return
McKinney or someone else who wants to fight Chandler, maybe just have to wait.
Chandler told the Schmo in a recent interview that he was currently adapting to a new family dynamics and welcomes a new daughter in his family.
Chandler had hoped to make up for the lost time after two years of waiting for the Conor McGregor fight that was canceled last summer, but the former Bellator champion is now looking forward to some stagnation.
“I enjoy the summer now,” said Chandler.
“Nothing is planned. No names on the table. No dates on the table.
'I told [UFC]Don't call me at least the fall …
“Insofar as it actually takes a step back in the Octagon, probably not until the end of the year, if not the first of next year,” said Chandler about his UFC return date.
