Triple Take: Who should Michael Chandler fight if he joins UFC?

Following his first-round demolition of former UFC and WEC lightweight champion Benson Henderson in the main event of Bellator 243, three-time former Bellator lightweight champ Michael Chandler confirmed his intention to explore free agency.

Given his top-level record and marketability, there’s likely to be no shortage of potential suitors for the 34-year-old Chandler, but his comments during his post-fight press conference hinted that his preference is likely to be to join the UFC. So if he did, who should Chandler fight in his octagon debut?

That’s the question we posed to MMA Junkie’s Simon Head, Farah Hannoun and Nolan King in this installment of “Triple Take.”
