Michael Chandler has been fighting professionally since 2009 but has been doing it with his wife, Brie, for the last 10 years. As 'Iron' shared with fans on social media, the couple celebrated a decade of marriage on Sept. 6.

The 38-year-old shared a series of photographs that summarized their marriage, highlighted by the family they created with their two adopted sons. Chandler captioned his post with an emotional message to his wife.

Chandler captioned the post with a letter to his wife that read:

"10 YEARS since I made a promise and I am more astounded by you today than I was back then... I'm a very blessed man who finds true love and a soulmate in this life. Of them, I feel like I am at the top of the heap. I'll always choose you, I'll never get used to you and I'll forever be pursuing you."

The lightweight's first couple of pictures were from his wedding day and early years of marriage.

Since the two got together while Chandler had already made his professional debut, the couple's relationship has largely revolved around the former Bellator champion's fighting career. As such, one picture in the slideshow together backstage after what appeared to be one of his fights.

Chandler then shared photos of his wife and his two sons, Hap and Ace. The couple adopted their first son, Hap, in 2017 and became a four-person family in 2022 with the addition of Ace.

Both of the young Chandler boys are African Americans. The fighter stated that it was always Brie Chandler's goal to adopt African-American children due to her belief that they are often overlooked.
