UFC lightweight champion hopefuls clash in the co-main event of UFC 314. Michael Chandler (23-9) is seeking to become the first fighter to defeat Paddy Pimblett (22-3). Chandler, a three-time Bellator champion, has faced mixed results with just two wins in six appearances.
Despite this, “Iron Mike” has gained fan respect for his non-stop action performances. Pimblett, on the other hand, is riding a two-fight winning streak against MMA veterans King Green and Tony Ferguson. A submission victory over Green in 2009 showcased Pimblett’s skills, and a win over Chandler could propel him to a top 10 ranking.
The five-round lightweight bout takes place at Kaseya Center in Miami on Saturday. Will Chandler finally achieve his goal of defeating the undefeated Pimblett, or will the Scouser emerge victorious? Follow our live blog for the latest updates from UFC 314.
