Quick read

Russian lightweight prospect Nikita Kulishin (9-0), who trains alongside Michael Chandler at Kill Cliff gym, says Chandler avoids full sparring and exclusively does light touch work. Kulishin described Chandler as extremely cautious in training, often requesting sole use of the mat for his own sessions while others spar around him. He suggested Chandler may be psychologically complex, contrasting his careful gym habits with his all-action performances inside the cage.
