Israel Adesanya humorously reacted to Charles Oliveira‘s resilient win over Michael Chandler at UFC 309, where Chandler’s dramatic final-round efforts fell short, leading Oliveira to secure a title shot in the 155-pound division.
Israel Adesanya was just like the rest of us, glued to the screen during the final moments of UFC 309’s co-main event. It was Charles Oliveira against Michael Chandler, and boy, was it intense!
Chandler was in a tough spot after being outclassed for four rounds by Oliveira. He needed a miracle to win. In the fifth round, he almost had it—Oliveira was hurt bad. But Oliveira, ever the survivor, hung on. Then came the slam. With Oliveira on his back, Chandler pulled a move straight outta WWE, lifting him like John Cena and slamming him down. Did it work? Nope. So, he tried again! In the end, Chandler just let time run out.
Adesanya couldn’t help but react to these wild moments on his YouTube channel. His laughter at Chandler’s repeated slams was infectious! Check it out below—it’s worth a watch.
Despite the chaos, Oliveira bounced back into the win column. Now he’s eyeing a title shot in the 155-pound division. Who will he face? The winner between Islam Makhachev and Arman Tsarukyan, if their rematch goes as planned.
As for Chandler? Two losses in a row now, making it 2-4 in the UFC. But hey, he’s snagged a post-fight bonus every single time he steps into the octagon. After this fight, he called out Conor McGregor for another shot at glory.
