Not everyone was particularly impressed by the emphatic victory of Paddy Pimblett on Michael Chandler.
Pimblett has demolished Chandler to continue his load in the lightweight ladder on UFC 314 in April.
A brutal TKO interruption in round three marked the seventh consecutive victory of the liverpool resident, since he came to Mma's top promotion and raised him in the UFC ranking to number 8.
This means that many of those who previously doubted Pimblett's opportunities are to enter the title turn and perhaps even winning gold on board.
Of course, many remain hesitant to give 'The Baddy' his flowers completely.
Grant Dawson is not convinced that Paddy Pimblett Elite is after beating Michael Chandler
During a recent interview with Inside Fighting, Lichtweight Competier Grant Dawson looked back on the triumph of Pimblett in Miami.
Dawson was previously pronounced with his vision of the scouser and admitted that Pimblett was a way to change his opinion on UFC 314.
But the American top team -striking it was that 'The Baddy' is still far from the hunting fans who perceive him.
“I think he's getting better. I think he got a lot better,” Dawson said about Pimblett.
“I think he is better than most division thinks it is, but I think he is much worse than the fans think he is.”
Michael Chandler's UFC record after being lost to Paddy Pimblett
The headlines have also been met in recent months with the Tirade Dawson focused on Chandler and his constant place in the lightweight rankings.
'Iron Mike' has remained an always present in the top 10 since a memorable knockout from Dan Hooker in his UFC debut.
But since then a number of losses, including the three who form his current losing skid, have left Chandler with a gloomy 2-5 UFC record.

Normal abuse of winning UFC was against Charles Oliveira and the long wait for Conor McGregor that brought about Chandler's career means that things have not disappeared exactly as the American had suggested.
However, the 39-year-old did not suggest that a retirement could be on the immediate horizon. So it seems likely that Chandler will have further opportunities to improve his UFC record along the line.
