Paddy Pimblett made time last night to check in at Michael Chandler Backstage after their horrible battle in Miami.
The Co-Main event of the pair of UFC 314 yielded the promised violence, although it was usually a way to explore Pimblett Chandler in three rounds to get a TKO victory. On the way to the fight, they were always respectful, and it seems that they stayed like that afterwards.
Chandler's defeat is his fifth under the UFC banner and could spell the end for him at the highest level. Pimblett, however, still gave him his flowers while he went to the top ten in the lightweight division at the expense of the American.

After embracing in the cage after their fight, Paddy Pimblett and Michael Chandler went their own way. The former Bellator champion suffered during the fight and was wounded brutally, but barely avoided in the hospital.
Once they came backstage, before he had to undergo media people, Pimblett made an attempt to look for his rival and share behind the scenes for a moment. He told Full MMA about the meeting in an interview and said: “I just saw him.
“I wanted to go inside and thank you for taking the fight. I respect him hell, he came a little older in the UFC and every time he got on the record and he had a scrap, he did it there with me.
“No one else has arranged arranged and fighting against me, people talk about fighting and they don't do that. Chandler came in and actually fought me and he may have got a beatdown, but at least he got on the board.”
