"Math ain't mathing"- Fans question Michael Chandler's claims of beating Charles Oliveira 9 out of 10 times, despite two losses against Brazilian

Michael Chandler made his return to the octagon from a two-year hiatus earlier this month, losing to Charles Oliveira via unanimous decision at UFC 309. He recently claimed that he would beat 'Do Bronx' nine times out of ten, despite already having suffered two losses to the No.2-ranked lightweight.

Speaking on The Ariel Helwani Show, 'Iron' stated:

"I'm not happy with my performance. I would give myself a two out of 10. I cannot overstate how horrible of a performance this was, or set of circumstances it was after that first round, compared to what my vision was for what I am capable of."

Chandler continued:

"And I believe I beat Charles Oliveira nine times out of ten. Obviously, I've lost to him twice now. Two out of two. I have a 100% loss rate to Charles Oliveira, so I understand why people might tsk at that, roll their eyes at that."

Fans reacted to Chandler's claims by questioning his logic. @ABoredBochur noted that he has already lost to Oliveira twice:

"Well he lost 2/2 so the math ain't mathing"

@The_Most_Hye labeled the No.7-ranked lightweight as a low-IQ fighter:

"Low IQ fighter believes he can win 9/10 times despite already being at 8/10 maximum as possible"

@DaredevilMMA invoked Chandler's go-to catchphrase to claim he won't reach the top:

"Chandler is just old and now the 2 years he wasted is catching up to him, in no world now does he beat Charles, reality is we won’t be seeing Chandler at the top"

@tonyfromhouston believes that waiting for Conor McGregor was the demise of Chandler:

"Charles stayed active while this clown waited around for a McGregor fight that was never realistically going to happen. Got what he had coming"

"[My] body [is in] the most pain I've ever been in my entire life. The most injuries I've ever had in a fight, for sure. Peed blood, inflammation all over, my whole body is swollen...

It had a light tint and the second one was beet-looking juice. It was dark."
