Michael Chandler vs Paddy Pimblett UFC 314 Result
Pimblett hammered out early with low legs when Chandler looked to test his chin with large bombs before he decided to bring the fight to the floor after 90 seconds.
The Englishman worked his way up again with a Kimura grip before jumping to a flying triangle with which Chandler enabled a moment to restore the top check.
More legs from Pimblett, and a few striking headshots of 'Iron Mike' when the first round of their UFC 314 Co-Main event ended.
The rising star started around two with a strong striking attack, which was derailed when his 'dirty' opponent landed an unintended kick on the Lies.
Chandler went back to work with his wrestling when the fight resumed, but ended up on the bottom to ward off large elbows and submission attempts until the horn sounded.
Pimblett cut Chandler at the start of round three. The 30-year-old started throwing flying attacks before he dumped his opponent on the Octagon floor, where he kept throwing strikes until the fight was thrown away.
Conor McGregor's bet
Conor McGregor recently stated his interest in the UFC 314 Co-Main event in an MMA-COMEBACK plague.
Only a few hours before the event started, the Irishman made his feelings clear about the matchup.
McGregor placed a $ 500,000 bet on Chandler to eliminate Pimblett on 'brutal' fashion to get his career back on track.
The massive gamble of the former Dual-Weight UFC champion has paid off when he silvered $ 2.5 million.
