Paddy Pimblett set for fight against Michael Chandler
Paddy Pimblett, a welterweight fighter from Liverpool, was a highlight of UFC London on Saturday night. Fans at the O2 Arena cheered loudly when he appeared on the big screens, showing how popular he is. The event had been slow until then, with many fights going the distance and only a few English fighters winning. Pimblett was there to support his gym-mates, Nathan Fletcher and Molly McCann. His presence reminded the crowd of his exciting past performances at the same venue, where he won two fights last year. With a record of 6-0 in the UFC, Pimblett is now ranked and seen as a serious contender in the lightweight division. Despite the energy he brought to the arena, many fans left feeling disappointed after other British fighters lost their matches. Pimblett’s popularity makes him one of the most exciting fighters, and he is set to fight Michael Chandler at UFC 314 in Miami on April 12. April will be a crucial month for Pimblett as he aims to take Chandler's No. 7 rank and move closer to a title shot against Islam Makachev. Although he may not fight in London again soon, Pimblett is becoming the face of British MMA as he pursues his career in the U.S.
