Colby Covington tried to steal the Limelight again on UFC 314 on Saturday, after the impressive victory of Paddy Pimblett over Michael Chandler.
When they came to UFC 314 in Miami, Fans Michael Chandler undoubtedly emphasized Paddy Pimblett's most difficult test so far, where he was a big step by Bobby Green last July.
Nevertheless, 'The Baddy' showed exactly why he is generally considered a potential big star in promotion when he finished Chandler in the third round of their five-round co-length event.
After the biggest victory of his career to date, Pimblett called 'Cheeky' Conor McGregor, after the former UFC Double Champion had declared his interest to fight the winner earlier this week.

Pimblett explains after fighting with Covington with Covington
Immediately after his fight, however, the 30-year-old Brit was involved in a backstage struggle with UFC Welterweight Colby Covington.
The verbal exchange of words looked like a complete surprise when Pimblett participated in interviews after the fight before he was sustained by the former interim champion.
Nevertheless, the two previously shared words over each other and Pimblett explained why the run-in happened.
“Mr. Irrelevant, who tried to stay relevant the f— Whopper. He just came by and started chatting s-, not because he saw a camera, came over and began to say:” Ah, you are fighting with scrubs, “he said something about Chandler as 2-4 or something, is he not 2-4 in his last six?” Said Pimblett during the press conference after the fight.
“He is an absolute B-, boy, he is almost 40, he tries to stay relevant by jumping on me while there is a camera, well, not jumping on me, just talking s -.
“I saw him the other week at Power limp and just walked past him and stared at him, and he just looked at the floor like the little P- boy he is. If there is a camera, he tries to say something, but he was tightened. We were all absolutely terrorized.
Fortunately for Pimblett, UFC boss Dana White was not too concerned with the backstage argument when he gave his reaction to the scuffle.
Pimblett claims that he would beat Ilia Topuria in the same way as he defeated Chandler
With the scouser now probably at the point to fight for the lightweight title, he is probably ready for another huge name opponent.
Pimblett continued to argue with Ilia Topuria and has called him on his hit list, despite the fact that they recently hug at UFC London.
And after his victory over 'Iron' Mike, 'The Baddy' claimed that he would finish 'La Layenda' in the same way as they fought in the future.
“To be honest, I forgot him, otherwise I would have called him in the cage. I literally forgot him completely about him, he is so irrelevant. I am ranked higher than he is lightweight, so I would like to welcome him in 155 pounds.
“Apparently he sits outside and waits for a title shot, but what I just did with Chandler is half the blueprint to beat him. He is even more a dwarf than what Chandler is. I will do exactly the same with Ilia that I did Chandler,” Pimblett said.
