Paddy
Pimblett believes he can outclass Michael
Chandler on the feet.

Chandler and Pimblett are scheduled to trade leather in the co-main
event at UFC
314 on April 12 at the Kaseya Center in Miami, Florida.
Chandler will look to get back to contender status as he tries to
derail the up-and-coming Pimblett’s hype train.

With Chandler being a proven knockout artist, many expect Pimblett
to rely on his grappling skills right away. However, “The Baddy”
isn’t scared to stand with Chandler. Pimblett believes he is too
slick on the feet for Chandler to catch him. Pimblett also believes
“Iron” is underestimating him based on his performance against
Jared
Gordon. However, Pimblett claims to have significantly evolved
since and cites his last win over Bobby Green
as proof.

“I’m gonna show everyone that the old guard’s on the way out and
the new guard’s coming in,” Pimblett said on his YouTube channel.
“It’s funny, everyone’s saying he’s gonna knock me out. I don’t
think he’s going to get near me on the feet… Everyone thinks
Mike’s just gonna come and knock me out and I won’t stand with him.
Just like everyone thought I won’t stand with Bobby Green.
But my striking’s got so much better since the Bobby Green
fight. He’s underestimating me, I think. Thinks he’s fighting the
same Paddy that fought Jared
Gordon. I’m a completely f—-ing different fighter now. I’ve
evolved.”

While Chandler is one of the biggest entertainers on the roster,
the former Bellator lightweight champ has gone 2-4 in the
UFC. Chandler most recently suffered a unanimous decision loss
against Charles
Oliveira at UFC 309 this past November, marking his return to
action after two years.

Meanwhile, Pimblett is undefeated in six UFC outings with four
finishes going into the most high-caliber matchup of his career.
