The highest confidence of Paddy Pimblett in his chin comes from a lifetime of eating big shots.
'The Baddy' is '100 percent' certain that he can take the power of Michael Chandler when they collide at the UFC 314-Co-Main event on 12 April.
Nobody could ever eliminate it, but the UFC light weight competition was un unconscious in shock of 35 seconds loss for an ex-soldier, Cameron Anders, when they collided with Cage Warriors 60 in October 2013.
Nevertheless, the majority of opponents of Paddy Pimblett are planning to take off his head, instead of taking the risk of going to the ground with an entry specialist.

Paddy Pimblett vs Stephen Martin Revisited
13 months after his first MMA loss, Pimblett had recovered as the best MMA front view of Great Britain.
Back-to-back victories have set up his featherweight debut against a 2-2 hunter named Stephen Martin.
On paper it was a scrap that Pimblett should break through, but that is not how things took place at Cage Warriors 73 in November 2014.
Only 15 seconds in the fight Martin landed a huge left hook before he succeeded it with a right right to drop his opponent.
Pimblett fell to the floor like a bag of potatoes, but he succeeded amazingly to prevent him from getting KO'd.
The 30-year-old Englishman immediately initiated a gripping exchange with which he could clean up his head and make his way back in the fight.
In the end, Pimblett only needed one shot at the end of the first frame. Martin left a huge elbow with a knots cut on his face, and it soon became clear that he would not be allowed to continue with the horrible cut.
Paddy Pimblett Eyes UFC title shot
Pimblett has no problems fighting for five rounds against Chandler on UFC 314.
This is mainly because he does not think that 'iron' will survive with him for more than 10 minutes.
“When I was asked to make a five -round fight, they were not sure if I would say yes,” Pimblett told TNT Sports.
“But yes, of course, because he is ready in two, it doesn't matter how much it is planned. Everyone can expect a finish in 12 April.”
Pimblett believes that the beating of Chandler will bring him at a moving distance from a title shot of 155 pounds.
He added: “The plan is to beat Michael Chandler and then fight again in Abu Dhabi in October.
“Hopefully I can fight someone in the top four, top five, and then I can ask for a title shot in 2026.”
