I think overall body awareness and knowing exactly where I need to be makes a big difference. Knowing how much weight to put on each foot or where I need to put my hands are things I'm very good at. Obviously with the wrestling background those are things that come naturally.
Quote by -Michael Chandler
The belt will grow dust and sit on the mantelpiece, but it's not about the belt. It's about how I can be as a father, as a human being that matters to me.
Quote by -Michael Chandler
Growing up as a wrestler, especially in practice, I think you get used to competing without much of a crowd around.
Quote by -Michael Chandler
Benson Henderson is a professional; he's a champion. He knows how to handle himself in the cage and he knows how to win fights.
Quote by -Michael Chandler
Once I'm in training camp, there's no beer, there's no soda, there's no bad food. There's no anything. It's eat, sleep and breathe training.
Quote by -Michael Chandler
If it's an emotional chick-flick type of movie, chances are, I'm going to end up crying. I'm not afraid to admit that, because I think emotion is very healthy.
Quote by -Michael Chandler
Some guys, when they enjoy some success in this sport, they get complacent. Not me. It makes me work and train that much harder, helps to bring out the warrior in me.
Quote by -Michael Chandler
The people who know me, the fans who've watched my fights, they know what I'm about. They know that I'm going to give 100 percent of everything I have each and every time I get into the octagon.
Quote by -Michael Chandler
When I first started fighting, it was just me. But things changed when I married, knowing that I had another person counting on me.
Quote by -Michael Chandler
You got to surround yourself with the strongest in the world, the strongest training partners and the best people. That's what I do.
Quote by -Michael Chandler
I've had the belt and it's great. But at the end of the day it's just 12 pounds of leather and gold.
Quote by -Michael Chandler
I don't focus on how I'm gonna get the finish or how I would like to get the finish. I focus on just my game plan that I've gone over with myself, my coaches. If the finish comes it comes.
Quote by -Michael Chandler
Obviously, as a young, young, hungry fighter, I'd like to be fighting three or four times a year.
Quote by -Michael Chandler
There are always a couple of ways you envision fights going; you always envision a win and a great finish.
Quote by -Michael Chandler
It's damage to a nerve. It pretty much shut down the whole lower part of my left leg. I wasn't able to step anymore. It's called foot drop - basically, you can't lift your foot.
Quote by -Michael Chandler
I'm a nasty human being when I step into that cage, but before that I could care less.
Quote by -Michael Chandler
I talk to my god every day and he's completely fine with me beating the hell out of people.
Quote by -Michael Chandler
You don't hope to go up and hit a single. You go up and hope to hit a home run.
Quote by -Michael Chandler
Benson is a champion. I'd be lying to you if I said I wasn't scared to death inside this cage, stepping into the cage with that monster.
Quote by -Michael Chandler
I do love the outdoor. Love love the outdoors, fishing and hunting and that kind of thing.
Quote by -Michael Chandler
If fighting ever got in the way of my marriage, you'd see me sacrifice my career.
Quote by -Michael Chandler
I've been blessed so much in my own life and I want to spread that blessing to others who need it.
Quote by -Michael Chandler
I never focus on my opponent - I focus more on myself: knowing what my strengths are, where I can take the fight, how I can win the fight, and the intensity that I'm going to bring to a fight.
Quote by -Michael Chandler
It's a fast-paced somewhat violent sport, but it's very much entertaining. And the greatest thing about mixed martial arts is that it transcends a lot of demographics.
Quote by -Michael Chandler
Nothing has really made me upset aside from the baseless, false accusations of PED use.
Quote by -Michael Chandler
It really has been just take it one day a time, one fight at a time, one training camp at a time, one year at a time.
Quote by -Michael Chandler
There are a lot of people who don't believe I deserve to be recognized as one of the top-10 best and I don't necessarily disagree with them.
Quote by -Michael Chandler
I'm always training to be quite honest, but there are those moments when you're a little more out of shape than you should be.
Quote by -Michael Chandler
I'm a guy who's been around this sport on the outside looking in, seeing, watching, scheming, plotting and planning his next big move.
Quote by -Michael Chandler
I really have a heart for children who suffer from cancer. I can't imagine having to go through that at such a young age.
Quote by -Michael Chandler
I'm just blessed that fighting was an option. Now I'm doing it and I love it. I thank God every day that I'm in the sport.
Quote by -Michael Chandler
Henri Hooft is the greatest striking coach on planet. He's phenomenal leader - he makes me believe in me more than I will ever believe in me.
Quote by -Michael Chandler
Financial freedom is very important to me because when that kind of stuff is taken care of, I can just focus on fighting.
Quote by -Michael Chandler
Somebody with a huge brand like Bellator under an even huger brand like Viacom, to have them put their faith in me, to put me in so many things, to put me in commercials, send me to all these events, and just to continue to put me in the cage with great talent, it's great.
Quote by -Michael Chandler
My body is durable, my body is able to withstand a lot of practices, a lot of punishment.
Quote by -Michael Chandler
I just think that with my wrestling background there's not going to be any doubt in my mind that if I have to go through a three round war that in the third round I'm gonna be more fresh, more tenacious, I'm gonna want that win more than anybody else I'm going to have to fight.
Quote by -Michael Chandler
For me, I want to make sure every single day I wake up and give thanks for everything that I've been given in life.
