Chandler trains only light touch sparring, says teammate Kulishin

Russian lightweight Nikita Kulishin (9-0 MMA), who trains alongside Michael Chandler at Kill Cliff FC, says Chandler avoids full sparring entirely and insists on touch-only work. Kulishin described Chandler as extremely cautious in the gym, often reserving space to work alone while others spar, and suggested Chandler may be psychologically high-strung despite his explosive in-cage performances.
