“Since my last fight. I fought on August 7th. That’s an eleven-week turnaround. Not a lot of guys would take a fight on eleven weeks turnaround especially with a new organization.” Chandler continued, “I stay in shape all year long. I am going to be ready to step in that cage come October 24th to beat either Khabib or Gaethje if something goes awry.”
