Paddy Pimblett recently gave fans a sneak peek into his upcoming UFC fight, sparking speculation about who his next opponent might be. The rising star made a name for himself by defeating Bobby Green in a spectacular first-round submission at UFC 304 last year, extending his unbeaten streak in the promotion to six wins.
Looking ahead to 2025, Pimblett is determined to make a mark in the lightweight division and set his sights on UFC gold. In a recent YouTube video, he hinted at his next opponent, hinting that both parties have agreed to the matchup and an official announcement is on the horizon.
“I’m eyeing that belt, so I’m aiming for higher-ranked opponents,” Pimblett shared. The fighter’s catchphrase “see you at the top” in his sign-off has led fans to believe that he could be facing off against Michael Chandler in his next bout.
Speculation is rife online, with many excited at the prospect of a potential showdown between Pimblett and Chandler. Despite Chandler’s recent losses, he remains a formidable force in the division, currently ranked at No.7. Pimblett, on the other hand, sits at No.13 and a matchup against Chandler would be a significant step up in competition for the young fighter.
With UFC’s return to London scheduled for March 22, the possibility of a Chandler vs. Pimblett headliner is gaining traction. Both fighters have the skill and determination to put on a thrilling show for fans, making it a highly anticipated matchup in the world of MMA. Stay tuned for the official announcement as these two talented athletes prepare to face off in the Octagon.
