Michael Chandler and Paddy Pimblett will meet in a bout that will be the second fight of the evening of the UFC 314 event. The clash of lightweight fighters will take place on April 12 in Miami. The UFC chief confirmed that the fight between the American and the Englishman has been contracted for five rounds.

Michael Chandler challenged Paddy Pimblett to a duel, the experienced American wanted to fight the Englishman at UFC 317. The Englishman responded to Chandler in a recent vlog, ending one of his statements with the words “see you at the top, “ a phrase the American often uses on his social media.

Fans therefore rubbed their hands together anticipating the announcement of this intriguing skirmish. Fans of the tough fighter, who hails from Missouri, are likely to be extremely pleased with the juxtaposition between him and the talkative Liverpool man. Both fighters know how to turn up the atmosphere on the microphone and are known for their cutting language, which makes it possible to expect a lot of excitement during the fight week, and maybe even before if the UFC decides to hold a special conference.

Michael Chandler has suffered two defeats in a row. Iron Mike lost to both Dustin Poirier and Charles Oliveira. It seems that UFC matchmakers wanted to lower the bar of difficulty by pairing him with Baddy.

Paddy Pimblett has a string of eight wins in a row. The Englishman has recorded six wins in the octagon of the UFC organization. Pimblett has faced 40-year-old Tony Ferguson and 38-year-old King Green in his last two appearances. The trend has thus been bucked and now he gets 39-year-old Chandler.

The UFC’s plan for this fighter seems to be extremely simple, the matchmakers want to build Baddy up so that he gets a valuable win, jumps into the top ten of the rankings and joins the fray against the biggest names.
