“I have always thought about what are the greatest opportunities, which are the biggest names, the brightest lights, the most impact, because in the end, you know, we are fighting in an octagon with a certain set of rules and punches and kicks and knees and elbows and techniques, right?” Chandler told PK Press Club Digital in a recent interview. “But it’s really about making people feel something, right? And this type of event that we are talking about makes people feel around the world. So it’s pretty cool.”
Before the potential fight, Chandler recently associated himself with Phorm Energy, an energy drink on the back of Dana White via Anheuser-Busch, who does not only lock him during his next training camp, but also fueled her throughout his days.
Chandler is also a child from Saint-Louis, just like the founder Sal Frisella. To Chandler, it was important to align with a brand that not only benefits him in terms of health but also feels personal.
“I was really, really blessed to build this career in the place where it is, so it is very important for me to do what seems to me just in my heart and with whom I am aligned. And when it comes to Phorm energy, really ethics and in mind behind it is to become your best me,” said Chandler. “And I think you see this kind of my kind, to know if it’s my podcast, I just wrote a book, and I have a documentary that comes out. I was really the little guy in the small town who never stopped pulling and transforming big shooting really fueling people’s goal.

“My brand and the brand of Phorm Energy could not be more synergistic. And each experience so far has been great, and I am enthusiastic about the future.”
So, expect Chandler to beat the 200 milligrams of natural caffeine when he is likely to prepare for a fight against McGregor.
“Obviously, it seems to be on the horizon. He said he wanted to fight me. I said I wanted to fight him. And the White House certainly had a lot of sense,” said Chandler. “It is the biggest fight that we could ask, right? He checks all the boxes. Time will tell us. Many things are in the air, so to speak.

“But anyway, guy, I’m excited. I’m going to pull my hat well, and we will go to this direction, and if that happens, I can tell you this, I come to steal the show.”
