🧾 EPISODE SUMMARY

In this episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, featuring Joe Rogan and Michael Chandler, JRE MMA Show #25 with Michael Chandler explores michael Chandler Explains Mindset, Adversity, And Future Beyond Bellator Cage Michael Chandler joins Joe Rogan to dig into the mental and physical evolution behind his MMA career, including a brutal three‑fight losing streak and the 688 days he went without a win. He breaks down how visualization, “mental highlight reels,” and extreme ownership of his mindset transformed him from a purely grind‑focused wrestler into a more composed, confident veteran. They analyze self‑sabotage, confidence, weight‑cutting, judging, and stylistic matchups in MMA, frequently using Chandler’s fights with Eddie Alvarez and others as case studies. The conversation closes with Chandler’s new Nashville gym, his training philosophy, and the open question of if and when he’ll move from Bellator to the UFC.
