Paddy Pimblett said his “chin is made of granite” as he rebuffed Michael Chandler’s knockout taunts before their fight at UFC 314 on Saturday.

The pair engaged in a friendly verbal back-and-forth before a face-off that ended in smiles at a news conference promoting the event in Miami, Florida.

Liverpool’s Pimblett has never been knocked out, winning 22 of his 25 bouts since his debut in 2012.

“Everyone thinks I’m getting knocked out because I leave my chin high but this chin’s made of granite,” said Pimblett, who was cheered by fans.

“I’m not getting knocked out, I’ve never been knocked out before but Mike has and I’ll do it again on Saturday.”

Pimblett, 30, is 12th in the UFC lightweight rankings while America’s Chandler is five places above him in seventh.

The bout represents the biggest of Pimblett’s career as he looks to build on his six-fight winning streak in the UFC.
