Miami – Michael Chandler has been accused in the past of not having respected the rules, and Paddy Pimbett agrees with these statements.
Pimbett (22-3 MMA, 6-0 UFC) and Chandler (23-9 MMA, 2-4 UFC) meet in the Co-Princhipal event of the UFC 314 (Pay-Per-View, ESPN, ESPN +) Saturday at the Kaseya Center. Paddy “The Baddy” met Chandler and had very positive interactions with him. However, he is tired who will not be like that in the night cage.
“He is the nicest man in the world outside the cage, and when he enters, he’s a dirty bastard, isn’t it?” Pimbett told journalists, including MMA Junkie, at UFC 314 Media Day on Wednesday. “I always say that if you do not cheat, you do not try, so I understand what he is trying to do. He wants to win. This is the main on this game, but yes, I will probably mention the referee in the back like:” If he will grasp my gloves, I will say it. If he tries to prick me in the eyes and stuff. “
More recently, when Chandler fought Charles Olivera in November at the UFC 309, the former Bellator champion was accused of having intentionally impactful and struck Oliveira at the back of the head.
Pimbelett hopes that Keith Peterson, who arrested Oliveira-Chandler 2, does not manage his fight this Saturday.
“This one against Charles when he struck him at the back of the head about nine times or something like that and Ref, I hope it is not my referee.” I hope to have a good referee like Goddard or Herzog. I do not want to have a referee who will just allow me to make the rabbit hit regularly. “
