Michael Chandler (23-9) will have a huge challenge this Saturday when he faces Paddy Pimblett (22-3) in the co-main event of UFC 314 in Miami. The American is ranked seventh in the lightweight division, and this time he will face a hungry prospectranked thirteenth, whose goal is the belt. ‘Iron’, who has four defeats in his last five fights, needs a win to keep his career from hanging by a thread. In a year he has gone from signing a fight with Conor McGregor that never happened to being the ‘gatekeeper’ of the division
The risk is high, as Pimblett is undefeated in the UFC and is coming off a first-round submission win over Bobby Green – his first ranked opponent. For that very reason, Chandler has worked hard for this fight, as can be seen in his physique days before the fight. The American has shared some photographs where he looks in impressive physical shape, showing once again that the years do not pass by him.
What happened there? Zuckerberg and Pereira’s awkward moment after UFC 313!
I’m going to find that chin, and I’m going to find it soon
It is common to see Chandler share his training routine on social media, and despite being 38 years old, he looks better than ever. ‘Iron’ is convinced that he is going to finish the Englishman in the early rounds, who will be making his first five-round fight in the company. “Paddy has proven that he deserves to be in this place, but I’ve been here for the last couple of decades and I deserve it too. I’m coming to steal the show. I’m going to find that chin, and I’m going to find it soon,” the American said at a press conference
The challenge of knocking out a ‘scouser’
Chandler will not have it easy if he wants to knock out ‘The Baddy’. The Liverpool fighter has never been finished and has no plans for that to happen on Saturday. “There’s a lot of ways I can win this fight. Everybody thinks I’m going to get knocked out because I stick my chin up, but this chin is made of granite. He’s not going to knock me out. I’ve never been knocked out, but Mike has, and that’s what I’m going to do,” said the Englishman.
I’ve never been knocked out, but Mike has, and that’s what I’m going to do
Without a doubt, this fight is a clear candidate for the best fight of the night, especially because Chandler never has a boring fight. ‘Iron’ always comes out to put on a show, although sometimes that costs him the victory. He is the definition of a ‘showman’, while Pimblett is clear that if he beats him his reputation will skyrocket across the pond. Being a superstar in England, in the United States they consider that he does not have what it takes to belong to the top, an opinion that he will try to reverse in a little more than 24 hours.

Christian Pulisic Scores for AC Milan, Enters U.S. Men’s Team Duty On High Note
Christian Pulisic will be returning to the U.S. men's national team in relatively solid form. The USMNT star, who hasn't appeared for the squad since March, scored his first goal of the Italian Serie A season in AC Milan's 2-0 win on Friday over Lecce. Pulisic, along with his former Chelsea teammate Ruben Loftus-Cheek, secured the victory for AC Milan's first league win of the season. Actress Helen Mirren donned a yellow Lecce shirt and watched from the stands, but there was little to excite the home fans or the Oscar-winning star of "The Queen."Milan had two goals chalked off after a video review, but they eventually got one that counted midway through the second half when Loftus-Cheek rose higher than everyone else to glance home a flighted free kick. The win was a relief for Milan, which started the season with a […]
