Returning to action for the first time in two years, he ended up losing a decision in a five-round war. Speaking about his fight, Chandler revealed that he had a difficult welcome back to the Octagon as he told Bussin’ with the Boys on Wednesday. He said:
“My body is jacked. My heart is full. Let’s start with the heart. My heart is full... I’m just happy to be home. It was good. I had a phenomenal training camp, we went to war, we did our thing.”
He added:
“My body, the most pain I’ve ever been in my entire life. The most injuries I’ve had in a fight, for sure. Peed blood, inflammation all over, my whole body is swollen...The first [blood in my urine] was very light, which was in my drug test...It had a light tint and the second one was beet-looking juice. It was dark.”
