Former UFC lightweight title contender, American **Michael Chandler**, shared his thoughts on a potential matchup between Georgian fighter **Ilia Topuria** and Brit **Paddy Pimblett**.

“I believe Paddy has a decent chance to last for a round or two because he won’t engage in exchanges like Oliveira did. We all saw what happened to Oliveira when he got caught with a hook or a straight right. Ultimately, it’s not as significant of a mismatch as many believe, but it certainly is a mismatch,” Chandler stated, as reported by MMA Fighting.

To remind, on January 25, at UFC 324 in Las Vegas, Pimblett will compete for the interim title against American Justin Gaethje.
