The wildest-looking of the three Chandler RCs on Octacard — the official XR Holo Rookie Card of "Iron" Michael Chandler, card #182 from the XR subset within 2021 Panini Chronicles UFC. The XR design is unlike anything else in the Chronicles lineup: an explosive leopard-spot holographic pattern covers the entire background in a dazzling mosaic of blue, green, red and gold refractor dots that shift and shimmer from every angle. The bold "XR" logo commands the top right, the RC shield sits top left, and the photo is a full-bleed in-fight action shot — Chandler in his fighting stance, both gloves raised, the "Blessed" tattoo on his chest, UFC shorts, completely locked in and ready to deliver. Three Chandler RCs on Octacard, three completely different sets and designs — this is the most visually explosive of them all.

The UFC debut that made the world take notice
As the back of this card tells it: "Dan Hooker is not a fighter many lightweights are eager to face, but 'Iron' Michael Chandler knew the New Zealander was a chance to make a big first impression in his UFC debut. That's precisely what Chandler did at UFC 257, as he weathered his opponent's flurry before delivering a first-round knockout." That debut KO announced Chandler to the UFC world in the most emphatic way possible — and this XR RC captures the fighter who delivered it, in one of the most visually striking card designs in the entire Chronicles set.
