After Paddy Pimblett's fight against Michael Chandler, he almost had another backstage when he collided with Welterweight Bad Boy.
In UFC 314, Paddy Pimblett was well aware that he took his most difficult test so far in the former UFC light weight title Challenger Michael Chandler.
If the commitment to 'Iron' Mike was not high enough for his fight, the largest star of the sport, Conor McGregor, placed a huge bet of $ 500,000 at the CO-Main event after he had stated interested in combating the winner in a shock UFC-Terugkeer.
Pimblett then scored the most impressive victory of his career and hit Chandler in round three and lost McGregor $ 500,000.

Dana White responds to surprising backstage -vault
Immediately after 'The Baddy' had picked up his victory, he left Backstage to do post-fighting media interviews before he was collected by the old welter weight candidate Colby Covington.
The two UFC stars then came into a short fight, which was a surprise for security members, who kept them apart as far as possible.
Pimblett has previously declared his interest in moving up to 170 pounds to fight against Covington, which caused their fights, as well as the fact that they recently came almost face to face at a Power Slap event, and Pimblett claimed that Colby did not want to watch him.
UFC boss Dana White has traditionally been calm when it comes to vocabulary between hunters outside the cage. And this Saturday was no different, because the CEO between the two reacted to the beef.
“I just heard that (they are in it) on the way here in the way. No, (I don't know what it's all about), this happens here all the time,” White responded during the press conference after the fight.
Paddy Pimblett wants Conor McGregor next
As White continued to mention, the 30-year-old Brit is now in the title interview and will probably be arranged in the top eight of the 155LB Division on Monday morning.
However, it is not a fight with a top five lightweight that 'The Baddy' is looking for the next, because he has called 'Cheeky' Conor McGregor to make his comeback against him.
Of course McGregor and Chandler are linked to fighting since 2023 After he was booked at the UFC 303 main event, but the fight never flourished, despite the fact that Chandler was sure it would stay.
Now Pimblett has taken even more of the shine of the 36-year-old, there is a big possibility that if 'the Notorious' returns, he could be his return opponent.
