Sports news ยป How High Will Paddy Pimblett Climb After UFC 314?

Paddy Pimblett once again proved his critics wrong with a spectacular performance.

While UFC 314 highlighted featherweight action, including Alexander Volkanovski`s title win and impressive victories from other featherweights, it was arguably Pimblett who stole the show. He decisively defeated veteran Michael Chandler, solidifying his position as a potential top contender in the lightweight division.

The big question now is: how high should Pimblett be ranked?

Pimblett`s current standing has sparked a lively debate among MMA experts. They are discussing whether Pimblett defeated a truly elite top 10 opponent, or if he simply capitalized on a less formidable version of Chandler.

In addition, discussions are taking place about the shifts in the featherweight rankings, the missed opportunity of a prime Patricio Pitbull in the UFC, and the most anticipated matchups in the upcoming UFC schedule.
