Chandler (23-9 MMA, 2-4 UFC) will look to rebound after back-to-back losses to Dustin Poirier and Charles Oliveira. The former UFC title challenger has lost four of his past five, and hasn’t gotten his hand raised since a front kick knockout of Tony Ferguson at UFC 274.

With UFC 314 approaching, the highly anticipated Chandler vs. Pimblett fight has Poirier backing Chandler for a quick win. Chandler is confident, stressing Pimblett will face a different level of ferocity.

Lightweight rivals Michael Chandler and Paddy Pimblett will go head-to-head in an explosive 155-pound clash at UFC 314 on April 12.
