A mouth-watering clash between two incredible fighters has fans excited.
The pair are set to face off at UFC 314 at the Kaseya Centre.
Tom Aspinall Predicts Winner of Paddy Pimblett and Michael Chandler
Tom Aspinall, who is the interim heavyweight champion, gave a series of predictions ahead of UFC 314 this weekend. Whilst many fans are looking forward to the main event, others know the co-main event will not disappoint. Whenever Michael Chandler has a UFC fight, it will always be eventful, and Paddy Pimblett will be looking to assert himself into the top half of the rankings.
Speaking to Euro Sport, Tom Aspinall said, “That being said, I think he’s had some favourable match-ups here and there, but I think people are massively overlooking Paddy. Honestly, I think that Paddy can have a title run.”
“I think he’s going to beat Michael Chandler. I think he’s going to surprise a lot of people.”
Tom Aspinall went on to say; “I think Paddy is going to knock him out, honestly, I do. I think most people would look at it and think Paddy is going to get the submission if he wins, but I honestly think Paddy is going to knock him out.
Fans Look Forward to Co-main Event
The co-main event is as exciting as the main event this weekend. Many UFC fighters, including Tom Aspinall, believe this fight will be a tough one to predict. Both fighters are exciting and unpredictable in their fighting styles.
On one hand, Michael Chandler is a veteran of the UFC and has been in the Octagon with some of the best fighters in the world. This includes Charles Oliveira, Dustin Poirier, and Islam Makhachev. Meanwhile, Paddy Pimblett is looking to advance in the lightweight rankings, and a win over Chandler firmly puts the Brit for a top-five place in the lightweight division.
