Michael Chandler disgusted after "hateful" influencer MMA Guru's impression of 'Iron's' children goes viral: "Leave our kids alone"
Michael Chandler has indicated on his social media that he takes issue with MMA Guru's impersonation of Chandler's children. Guru is a polarizing content creator who has found himself in a few online rivalries based on his bombastic and antagonistic personality.
Nina-Marie Daniele is someone that MMA Guru had recently found himself in a beef with where the two engaged in a bit of a back-and-forth. It would seem like everyone is fair game for Guru though as he has shown he is not above including children in his gimmick.
An X account known as @randompersonge had posted a clip from a recent MMA Guru video that saw the online personality make impressions of the former multi-time Bellator lightweight champion and his kids, Hap Whitaker and Ace.
Guru engaged in what many would refer to as using a 'blaccent' whereby he mimicked a stereotype-driven communicative pattern of black people in a negative way as Chandler's children are both black. Reposting the video on X, Chandler said:
"Just shedding some light on this individual we unfortunately have to call one of our fellow members of the human race. Do your hateful thing man, but leave our kids alone. @THATBOYMMAGURU"

Michael Chandler and MMA Guru's budding rivalry
Michael Chandler made his thoughts toward the content creator abundantly clear in the message above but it seems like this MMA Guru beef may only be just beginning. The 38-year-old would not have to wait long to hear back from the abrasive online character as MMA Guru would soon respond to Chandler on X.
A photograph of 'Iron' Michael alongside reigning UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones at UFC Noche 306 was posted to MMA Guru's X account along with some scathing text. The corresponding message in question from read:
"Oh no Chandler! am I hard to consider a member of the human race because I made a joke? Should I have just beat a woman into a pulp in a hotel room in front of children instead? would that make you want a picture? TF is wrong with these t**ds I make jokes get over it."
The Missouri native has not fired back with a response, as of this writing, but it would seem like this is not the last we will see of Chandler versus MMA Guru.
