Paddy Pimblett is fast-approaching UFC lightweight title contention. 'The Baddy' stopped Michael Chandler at UFC 314 to claim a top-ten spot in the lightweight rankings. He mauled 'Iron Mike' on the feet and on the ground to secure a stoppage finish in the third round.

‘The Baddy’ proved all his doubters wrong by brutalizing Michael Chandler en route to a third-round TKO win at UFC 314 in Miami, Florida, on Saturday night. Post-fight, Paddy Pimblett claimed that everything he had been working on in the gym for the past few weeks had came off in the Octagon at the Kaseya Center.

Michael Chandler left the octagon before Bruce Buffer even had time to announce the result in his fight against Paddy Pimblett at UFC 314 but he finally broke his silence with a brief statement released on social media on Monday.
