UFC lightweight contender Michael Chandler expects the promotion’s fastest rising star, Paddy Pimblett to climb all the way to the top of the division.
The UFC’s recent return to London saw one of their hottest talents continue his ascent to stardom, as Paddy Pimblett made it 3-0 in the Octagon when he submitted Jordan Leavitt in the second round.
Although Pimblett has amassed a significant fanbase in his short time with the promotion, although the scouser has also drawn many critics who question his ceiling. Media and fighters alike have apprehension about his striking, specifically his defense, as well as how he would fair with higher ranked and bigger lightweights such as Islam Makhachev and Justin Gaethje.
One man though who is confident that Pimblett will continue on his trajectory to the highest heights that the lightweight division has to offer, is fellow 155lber, Michael Chandler.
“He’s great, man,” Chandler said during a media scrum. “Paddy and I have been in contact a little bit. He’s a guy who’s in that perfect – kind of that perfect position where I’m the guy. I’m gonna be the champion here in the next 12 months. He’s going to be nipping at my heels, coming into the top 15, coming into the top 10. But I don’t have a scarcity mindset when it comes to other guys in my division, especially when I see guys who are doing it the right way in my opinion.”
Chandler would continue his praise for Pimblett, remarking that those who hate him on are exactly just that, ‘haters’.
“He’s a marketable guy, he’s a happy guy, he’s a fun guy, he’s fun to watch, he’s fun on the microphone, he’s the total package,” Chandler said. “People can hate on him all they want, but really they’re just being haters. Paddy Pimblett is the total package, but can he put it together inside the octagon within the bells and continue to keep winning? We’ll see.”
Tiki Ghosn, the manager of former interim UFC lightweight titleholder, Dustin Poirier has claimed that his client will likely share the Octagon with one-time vacant title chaser, Michael Chandler next – amid a longstanding rivalry between the two since the latter’s arrival in the organization.

Tiki Ghosn, the manager of former interim UFC lightweight titleholder, Dustin Poirier has claimed that his client will likely share the Octagon with one-time vacant title chaser, Michael Chandler next – amid a longstanding rivalry between the two since the latter’s arrival in the organization.
Poirier, who challenged common-foe, Charles Oliveira for undisputed lightweight gold last time out in December at UFC 269, suffered an eventual third round standing rear-naked choke loss to the Brazilian in a headlining clash.
As for Chandler, the #5 ranked lightweight contender featured on the main card of UFC 274 back in May, stopping former interim lightweight champion, Tony Ferguson with a brutal, highlight-reel second round front kick knockout.
During UFC 276 earlier this month, Poirier and Chandler were separated by UFC officials and security at the T-Mobile Arena, after the former confronted the latter on fighter row – as the two find themselves consistently linked with a fight in the future.
Fueling the fire of a potential matchup in the near future, Chandler claimed that fans should expect some news on his next fight soon enough during his recent visit to London for the promotion’s second outing in the UK this year.
“I think you’re going to hear some fight news coming pretty soon and it could be me and Dustin Poirier,” Michael Chandler told assembled media at the O2 Arena. “We’ll see.”
As Poirier himself searches for his first Octagon walk since December, the Lafayette striker’s manager, UFC alum, Gohsn confirmed that his client is willing to fight Chandler next.
“Asked Dustin Poirier’s (@DustinPoirier) representative Tiki Ghosn (@tikighosn) for an update,” ESPN MMA reporter, Brett Okamoto tweeted. “Looks like it’s going to be Michael Chandler (@MikeChandlermMMA). Sounds like he wants the smoke and Dustin (Poirier) is going to give it to him.” UFC hasn’t reached out yet, though.”
In his most recent Octagon victory, Poirier landed a first round doctor’s stoppage victory over former two-weight champion, Conor McGregor in the pair’s trilogy rubber match at UFC 264 back in July of last year.
