UFC: The Rock praises Michael Chandler for ‘electrifying promo’ after ‘incredible’ KO of Tony Ferguson
- Chandler delivered a sizzling call-out of several lightweight stars after knockout-of-the-year contender last weekend
- WWE legend and Hollywood icon says UFC star ‘sold tickets to his next fight that’s not even booked yet’
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, one of the greatest talkers in pro wrestling history, has given his seal of approval to Michael Chandler’s latest post-fight promo.
Chandler, the former Bellator lightweight champ, was back in action on the main card of UFC 274 last Saturday in Phoenix, Arizona, taking on Tony Ferguson.
He won the fight with a devastating head-kick knockout in round two, and then cut a sizzling promo that targeted lightweight stars Charles Oliveira, Justin Gaethje and Conor McGregor.
The 36-year-old’s work on the mic was so impressive that Johnson was compelled to give him props on Twitter.
“What an incredible KO from Michael Chandler,” the WWE legend and actor wrote. “And on top of that he just delivered a truly electrifying promo that already sold tickets to his next fight that’s not even booked yet.”
