Michael Chandler was just as surprised by his front kick knocking out Tony Ferguson as you were, writes JustinBarrasso
following the victory. “The distance didn’t seem perfect to me. I just threw something up the middle, and it landed. Then I felt the impact and saw him crumble.The extent of the blow was noticeable instantaneously, a vicious shot that carried with it the potential to cause significant damage. Further compounding the moment was Ferguson spiking his head as he dropped onto the mat.
A world of possibility now exists for Chandler. He thrust himself back in the mix for the vacant lightweight title. He is cutting better post-fight interviews than ever, and he has genuinely sparked the interest of fight fans. As for his future, all signs point to a showdown against McGregor, an icon of the sport.
