Chandler will join the analytical/commentator Mt Rushmore after a few more broadcasts. I'd love to have Anik, Felder, and Chandler on the commentary booth for ESPN Cards. I want to see how Chandler does commentary chemistry with Rogan and DC. So far the p4p best commentary team is Rogan DC and Jon Anik.

Dustin wants to retire. The UFC should not put Dustin in a title fight, because it could potentially ruin the division if he wins the belt, then retires.
