At the Real American Freestyle (RAF03) tournament, held on November 29 in Chicago, Chandler secured his first victory since May 2022, when he knocked out Tony Ferguson at UFC 274. In this match, he confidently defeated Chad Mendes with a score of 4:1, which confirmed his excellent physical condition and control over the fight.
After the match, the 39-year-old athlete expressed his intention to face Olympic champion Jordan Burroughs, challenging him to a fight in the RAF ring.
