As it stands, Paddy Pimblett is set to square off with Michael Chandler in a highly anticipated co-main event clash at UFC 314 on April 12. But if for any reason ‘Iron’ can’t make it to fight night, Jared Gordon is ready to step in.
Pimblett’s fight against Chandler will be his toughest test yet, but if he manages to notch his seventh straight win inside the Octagon, he’ll earn himself a spot in the UFC’s lightweight top 10 and inch himself that much closer to a title opportunity.
Chandler has never been one to withdraw from fights, but should something happen that forces the former Bellator titleholder to bow out, Gordon will be more than willing to run it back with ‘The Baddy’ in Miami.
