Paddy Pimblett focuses on Conor McGregor for his next fight after his greatest career gain on UFC 314.

On Saturday at UFC 314, Paddy Pimblett returned to the Octagon for the first time since last July and took on Michael Chandler in what promised to be his most difficult test so far.

McGregor then bet $ 500,000 on Chandler to pick up the 'Vicious Ko', in the expectation that he and 'Iron' can finally share the Octagon.

Nevertheless, Pimblett scored the biggest victory of his career and Chander played in the third round.
