Top UFC lightweight Paddy Pimblett made an appearance on UFC announcer Bruce Buffer’s podcast, and reminisced on his battle against Michael Chandler at UFC 314. In a fight, Pimblett would dominate Michael Chandler and finish him in one-sided fashion. Pimblett would go on to make a bold claim that his performance against the former Bellator champion was more impressive than that of Chandler’s previous rivals.
“The fact that I got the beatdown I put on him, and the way I dominated him, and I finished him. I feel like I put a worse beating on him than Charles did, than Poirier did, than Justin Gaethje did. You know what I mean?
So,I have full confidence I was going to do that anyway, but the fact that I did do it, I think it shut a lot of people up.”
With his excellent performance, Paddy “The Baddie” Pimblett feels more vindicated than ever, as many fans and pundits have doubted his ability since his UFC debut.
