ABU DHABI – Dana White likes what he saw out of Michel Chandler at UFC 257. In fact, White thinks it might belong in a class of its own. A longtime Bellator lightweight champion, Chandler (22-5 MMA, 1-0 UFC) made his long-awaited debut against Dan Hooker in the pay-per-view co-main event and finished the fight with strikes in half a round . “When guys come into the UFC for the first time, they usually have a rough first time on the big stage,” White told MMA Junkie. “He didn’t. He came out and it almost seemed like Hooker froze in that first round.
