Former UFC featherweight champion, Ilia Topuria, has given his assessment of Paddy Pimblett`s win against Michael Chandler.

During an interview on Joe Rogan`s podcast, Topuria commented, “He performed well, accomplishing what was expected of him. But to be frank, in my view, Chandler has never been a truly exceptional fighter. He`s quite average. Looking at his UFC record, who are the notable fighters he has defeated? He secured wins against Dan Hooker and Tony Ferguson, who was approaching 40 years old at the time.”
