I respect Paddy, I think he’s a skilled fighter, I think he’s still got a bright future, but I think he’s gonna run into a buzzsaw called Michael Chandler on 12 April.
In November, Chandler suffered a lopsided decision loss to Charles Oliveira, three years after suffering a TKO by the Brazilian in a lightweight title fight.
Michael Chandler has explained why he took a fight with Paddy Pimblett, and how it came together, ahead of their co-main event at UFC 314.
The lightweights will meet in a five-round bout in Miami on 12 April, supporting Alexander Volkanovski’s fight with Diego Lopes for the vacant featherweight title.
November’s rematch came after Chandler waited almost two years for a fight with Conor McGregor, which never materialised.
