Paddy Pimblett knew that he would surpass Michael Chandler
Paddy Pimblett has recently been trained with the undisputed UFC Heavyweight Champion Tom Aspinall.
During their time together, the two Englishmen broke the UFC 314 Co-Main event.
Pimblett remembered that he overwhelmed Daniel Cormier with a confident pre-Vecht wrestling forecast.
“I remember the day before with 'DC',” he said.
“I am so much:” Lade, I'll bring it down. '
“He says:” What? Do you think you will take Michael Chandler down? '
“Yes!' They think they are better than anything.
“I had something like that:” I will take it down. Don't worry about that. “
'It's the same with Justin [Gaethje]. When I fight Gaethje, I take it down.
“I am not – D if he struggled in high school.”
Paddy Pimblett's next fight
Paddy Pimblett would usually need a victory to earn a title shot, because he is currently ranked on #9.
His long -term beef with lightweight King Ilia Topuria, however, has people who call for that fight in 2025.
The UFC stars collided during a heated face-off after Topuria won the empty belt of 155 pounds on UFC 317.
After Jon Jones's retirement, Pimblett called for the 'biggest fight that the UFC can now make'.
“Now that Jon Jones is retired, I think it's the biggest fight that the UFC can make,” Pimblett told one-on-one MMA.
'Now there is no Jon Jones and they can't do him and Tom [Aspinall]So it would not surprise me if I had the belt in six to 12 months. “
At the time of writing, it is currently unclear whether Pimblett will get someone else the next crack at Topuria.
