Paddy Pimblett earned the most significant win of his career with an impressive third-round stoppage of Michael Chandler at UFC 314.

Briton Pimblett outclassed the American on the feet and the ground for a victory which will move into the top 10 of the lightweight rankings.

UFC commentator Jon Anik welcomed Pimblett “to the elite” after his triumph in Miami, Florida, while the promotion’s president Dana White described the 30-year-old as the “real deal”.

Victory is Pimblett’s seventh since joining the UFC in 2021 – the second-longest win streak in the lightweight division after champion Islam Makhachev’s 15.

Pimblett said in the build-up to the contest that, should he beat Chandler, he would be targeting one more win this year before a title shot in 2026.

In his post-fight interview Pimblett mentioned a number of fighters he would be interested in fighting, so here’s what could be next.
