Michael Chandler Says Paddy Pimblett Proved He Is a Real Threat Despite Loss

#13-ranked lightweight Chandler praised #6-ranked Pimblett after his loss to Justin Gaethje in their interim lightweight title fight in January. “Gaethje is still at the top of the division,” he said, but added that Pimblett is “a real contender” and “very tough.” Chandler noted Pimblett got rocked, stood back up, and lasted 25 minutes while still firing back at Gaethje.
