Pimblett Shares Post-Fight Interaction With Chandler
Paddy Pimblett showed nothing but respect for Michael Chandler after stopping him in the third round at UFC 314.
The win pushed Pimblett’s record to 7-0 and in the conversation among the lightweight division’s elite. Chandler’s last victory was back in 2022 when he defeated a declining Tony Ferguson. Chandler also stayed inactive for a prolonged period after chasing a Conor McGregor fight, which never came. Despite Chandler’s recent struggles — now 2-4 in the UFC — Pimblett was quick to recognize the veteran’s impact on the sport. He shared a moment between the two backstage, calling Chandler a “legend of the sport.”
