Paddy Pimblett won’t make the same mistakes that Dustin Poirier, Justin Gaethje, and Charles Oliveira made against ‘Iron’ Michael Chandler.
While Poirier, Gaethje, and Oliveira all earned wins over Chandler, they either went the distance or faced some early adversity against the former Bellator champion. In Oliveira’s case, both. But ‘The Baddy’ insists that his game plan at UFC 314 in Miami won’t consist of playing into Chandler’s strengths by standing and trading with him.
“He’s fought Poirier, Gaethje, Charles—all top lightweights—but I think I’ll make it look easier than they did,” Pimblett said in an interview with the promotion.
