Unbeaten Russian lightweight Nikita Kulishin reveals Michael Chandler avoids hard sparring

Russian lightweight Nikita Kulishin (9-0), who trains alongside Michael Chandler at Kill Cliff FC, says Chandler exclusively does light touch sparring and never engages in full contact sessions at the gym. Kulishin described Chandler as very protective of his space during training, often insisting on working alone while others spar fully. Despite the cautious approach in the gym, Kulishin suggested Chandler's intense in-cage performances may stem from psychological factors.
