But the Co-Princhipal event of the UFC 314 offers a lot of participations and the potential coronation of a new light title challenger.
Demetrious Johnson guarantees a UFC title for Paddy Pimbett
Michael Chandler and Paddy Pimbelett will compete in the Co-Headliner of the UFC 314 in what is described as “the main event of the people” by combat fans. Although Pimbett did not fight an opponent of the Chandler caliber, he entered the UFC 314 with a lot of media threatening deserved before the massive jump of the competition.
Pimbett, without spots so far in his mandate of the UFC, could potentially be a victory away from a title shot if he exceeds Chandler this weekend. For Johnson, as long as Pimbett remains on the right track in and out of the cage, the British star will surely hoist UFC Gold.
During a recent ventilation on his YouTube Channel, Johnson has tabuated Pimbett as future UFC champion.
“I can’t wait to see him arrive at the point where … I think that day he will be the champion,” said Johnson about Pimbett. “If he does not do it, he will be like one of the guys who were really good but who were never champions. Urijah Faber, Joseph Benavidez…
“It is completely correctly.”
Pimbett between the UFC 314 as one of the brightest stars in the light division and quickly ungrateful with the Fans of the UFC fans after having become a megastar abroad. A victory over Chandler would catapult the pimbett stock and put it firmly in the conversation of the light title.
Paddy Pimbett admitted that his most controversial victory in the UFC was “ lucky ” before UFC 314
Despite Johnson’s great prediction and Pimbett’s success, the mandate of the British star’s UFC did not play without controversy. Pimbett recently admitted that his controversial victory against Jared Gordon at the UFC 282 was “lucky” after years of fans’ reaction on dashboards.
After defeating Gordon, Pimbett won recent victories on King Green and Tony Ferguson to win a place in the light top 15. If he exceeds Chandler at UFC 314, Pimbett could be next online to face a superior competitor, after having triggered a new quarrel with Arman Tsarukyan in recent days.
Tsarukyan was supposed to make the headlines UFC 311 in front of Islam Makhachev before retiring on notice due to an injury. UFC CEO Dana White said Tsarukyan will have to win at least one fight before getting another title shot after the last second shot.
Pimbett was extremely critical of the withdrawal of Tsarukyan after the UFC 311. Joe Rogan also theorized that Tsarukyan was not true on the reasoning behind the shocking withdrawal, saying that a botched weight cut was to blame.
Pimbett could take a collision class with Tsarukyan if he is victorious at UFC 314 this weekend. While we are waiting for the next Makhachev title fight, Pimbett is fortunate to distinguish ourselves from the peloton against Chandler.
