The Octagon will return to Miami next month, where two of the greatest personalities in the lightweight division in the Co-Main event will clash.
From the moment Dana White made the announcement, Michael Chandler vs Paddy Pimblett on UFC 314 has been one of the most discussed fights in MMA.
Chandler is convinced that this fight will see him bouncing back in the win column after a tough evening at the office previous time -out on UFC 309.
After his six-fighter profit reak in the Octagon, Pimblett believes that Chandler is his key to the biggest and best fights there are.
'Iron Mike' may only have lost the very best during his UFC official period, but this matchup sees him being confronted with an emerging competitor who is looking for the biggest victory of his career to date.

Jai Herbert says that Paddy Pimblett vs Michael Chandler is a intersection
Jai Herbert goes back to the Octagon for his ninth fight in the UFC when he is facing Chris Padilla on March 22 in the O2 Arena in London.
Before 'The Black Country Banger' wants to win back-to-back victories, two of the most important gyms of the VK bundled the forces when Herbert and various others from Team Renegade in Birmingham traveled to Liverpool to train at the next generation of MMA.
“2-3 weeks we went there on the sparring days and had a good round man because they have another good light weights there, clear paddy and a few other good guys there, so it was just good to mix it and get a good job, so yes, good sessions,” Herbert Bloody Elbow said in an exclusive interview.
After having spent some time on the mats with his colleague -before Cage Warriors champion, Herbert gave his opinion about the coming fight by Paddy Pimblett.
Although Michael Chandler has stated that a loss does not change his plans for continuing to fight, he acknowledged the meaning of this matchup.
Herbert called it a “intersection” fight with the emerging 30-year-old who wanted to take the place of a 38-year-old veteran who previously fought for the lightweight title.
“I feel it is a good fight, it is a crossroads fight. You have paddy, he is just in the top 15, young boy, he is standing against Chandler. He is very experienced and it is a crossroads fight, so it will be a good, entertaining fight. I look forward to looking at that. “
Jai Herbert has confronted in his time with some lightweight murderers
Despite having three victories to his name in the Octagon, Jai Herbert has difficulty keeping Momentum during his time in the UFC.
A victory on Padilla on March 22 earns him for the first time since then at the highest level in 2020 for the first time at the highest level.
After fighting Francisco Trinaldo and Renato Moicano in his first two trips, the 36-year-old is also linked to L'Udovit Klein and Ziam, along with the only lightweight in the UFC to be confronted with Ilia Topuria at 155 pounds.
