Michael Chandler Says Paddy Pimblett Only Looks Like a 16-year-old Boy, He Fights Like a Man

Just days out from his return at UFC 314 return, Michael Chandler has hit out at the structure and physique of Liverpool contender, Paddy Pimblett — claiming the uber-prospect resembles a 16-year-old boy.

Chandler, a former lightweight title challenger in the promotion, has been sidelined since last November, most recently co-headlining UFC 309 in a rematch fight with ex-champion, Charles Oliveira.
