01

Why this card matters

Chandler fought professionally for eleven and a half years, won the Bellator lightweight title three times and never had a licensed card until Panini's Prizm UFC arrived on April 28, 2021, three months after his first-round demolition of Dan Hooker at UFC 257. #194 sits in the back half of the 200-card base set and is the earliest Chandler card any source consulted could produce. Everything the hobby has of his Bellator decade is a photograph on a 2021-or-later Panini or Topps card.

Identification

Missing a back scan. Contribute one.

  • Card number 194 on the back; 200-card base set (100 vertical, 100 horizontal designs)
  • Cardboard Connection's checklist line reads '194 Michael Chandler Lightweight'
  • Prizm UFC 'Debut Edition' branding — Panini's first licensed UFC product, released April 28, 2021
  • No RC logo documented on the card face by any source consulted

Disputed

Sources disagree

Rookie designation only. Collectibles.com lists the card as '194 RC'; SportsCardsPro's item panel says 'Is Rookie Card: No'. The parallel ladder is Cardboard Connection's product-wide list, not a Chandler-specific confirmation, although Collectibles.com separately records a Green Prizm #194 for him.
