Back of the head over and over… Keith Peterson what are you looking at?
— Casey Oneill (@kingcaseymma) November 17, 2024
49-46 Do Bronx.
Chandler tried to find the quit in Oliveira and it was nowhere to be found.
But all respect to Michael Chandler for his grit and refusal himself to quit. He has made many magic moments at MSG.
