The Ultimate Fighter Season 30 Cast Breakdown: The Heavyweights

Chandler Cole, 27-years-old, 8-3

Pros

  • Good wrestling
  • Well-conditioned
  • Good ground and pound
  • Effective grappling
  • Good movement

Cons

  • Doesn’t take damage well
  • Turtles up

Cole is a good fighter but standing at 5’10” he should be fighting at least at middleweight and not heavyweight. His size doesn’t match the skill set he has. I like his wrestling and uses some creative ways to get the fight down. His grappling is good and on top is where he is most dangerous.

Cole is sometimes the hammer, and sometimes the nail. If the fight doesn’t go his way quickly he tends to crumble when punches are thrown at him. I really think he has potential but not at heavyweight.
