“Impossible to Kill”: Michael Chandler Vows Comeback

Michael Chandler is far from done.

In a long video on social media, Chandler spoke about his loss to Mauricio Ruffy at UFC 250.

“I’m happy. I’m healthy. I’m hard to kill. I’m impossible to kill. I’m impossible to defeat because I am so truly blessed,” he said.

He gave an update on his condition as well.

“Physically, I’m good. I’m a little banged up. I got punched in the ear and ripped it open. Hats off to Mauricio Ruffy. He was a tough puzzle to solve, to get going in there. He’s long. He’s fast. He’s accurate. He’s a good striker. He landed the shots that ended the fight so here we are but as I said, we’re happy, we’re healthy, we’re hard to kill,” said Chandler.

Chandler readily admitted Ruffy was the better fighter that night.

“This is what it is. We lost. You’re going to take your losses in life and hopefully, for you, you don’t take too many losses but it’s not about taking the losses it’s how you respond to the losses. If you can see every loss like it was an opportunity that was missed and there’s a recalibration and a recoiling of the spring that you can bounce back from, bounce back better, bounce back in a different way, bounce back with more wisdom, bounce back with more experience, you can continue to chase down the man or the woman that you were destined to be and that’s why we’re out here,” he said.

Chandler thanked all the fans who have reached out with their support since the loss.

“I love you guys. I truly, truly love you guys and I thank you guys for your support. The best is yet to come. The best is yet to come. Trust me. Keep on watching. Keep on getting after it. Keep on trying to operate with integrity and being a good person. Because your best days and your blessed days are right ahead of you if you can continue to do that. I love you guys. God bless. I’ll see you at the top,” he said.
