Michael Chandler talks about the fight
By the looks of Chandler’s bruised and bloody face, one can tell the story of how violent the fight was. However, ‘Iron’ revealed that the punishment his body and legs took was what caused him a great amount of pain.
During an interview with Daniel Cormier on an episode of ESPN’s DC & RC YouTube show, Chandler said:
“Both my leg and my right foot hurt from both checking leg kicks or eating leg kicks and throwing leg kicks. The face looks the worst but the face is the best part about it. I can deal with a couple of black eyes and a couple of sets of stitches but it was more of the body pain that I was in for about the first two weeks. But I’ve been doing a lot of recovery, a lot of hyperbaric chamber [treatment], a lot of manual bodywork, and [my] body feels great now. So I’m about to get back to training.”
