Paddy Pimblett doesn’t perceive why Dustin Poirier is planning to put down his gloves this summer season.
After arising quick in his third and certain final light-weight title alternative at UFC 302, ‘The Diamond’ introduced that he would have yet another go contained in the Octagon earlier than calling it a profession.
Pimblett, alternatively, is simply getting began. ‘The Baddy’ is an ideal 6-0 below the UFC banner and can look to climb into the light-weight prime 10 subsequent month when he meets ex-Bellator champion Michael Chandler at UFC 314.
Paddy pimblett thinks he’d beat poirier
Even when Pimblett will get previous ‘Iron’ with ease, he’ll doubtless have to bag one other win or two earlier than getting a crack on the division’s prime prize. In an ideal world, a type of fights could be in opposition to Poirier. Sadly for the Liverpudlian, ‘The Diamond’ is just fascinated by preventing one other “legend” for his UFC swan tune.
“Well, [Poirier] said something about me the other day, didn’t he? Saying it’s legends only, and he thinks Chandler would beat me,” Pimblett instructed ESPN Deportes. “I think he should have more than one fight. He looked good in his last fight, I don’t understand why you’d retire when you look good. But, he must an idiot. I think I beat Dustin Poirier, so I’d love to fight him.”
If Pimblett defeats Chandler, he’ll doubtless take the No. 7 spot within the light-weight rankings, setting the stage for a showdown with a top-five contender.
Fortunately, there can be loads of different contemporary opponents ready for Pimblett, together with Dan Hooker, Max Holloway, Justin Gaethje, Charles Oliveira, and Arman Tsarukyan. However first, he’ll must get previous his hardest check but.
