However, Chandler’s comment section was bombarded with followers harassing the fighter with terrible comments over his son’s race.

The followers with absolutely zero shame abused Chandler for his decision to adopt an African American child. Insults were also directed at his wife, Brie Chandler. Chandler is one of the most likable fighters in the UFC and has always made sure to be respectful towards everyone. It is terrible that public figures like him have to go through such harassment by faceless profiles on social media platforms.
