COCONUT CREEK, Fla. – Dustin Poirier thinks Paddy Pimblett is undeniable as a top lightweight after dominating and finishing Michael Chandler at UFC 314.
Former interim champ Poirier (30-9 MMA, 22-8 UFC) served as a desk analyst for ESPN this past Saturday when Pimblett (23-3 MMA, 7-0 UFC) went into his co-main event with Chandler (23-10 MMA, 2-5 UFC) and delivered a bloody third-round TKO win at Kaseya Center in Miami. Although “The Baddy” had his share of supporters coming in, the matchup was a clear step up in competition, and his naysayers weren’t sure if he’d overcome it.
Turns out, Pimblett passed the test with flying colors, and put himself firmly among the top tier at 155 pounds.
