Former interim UFC lightweight champion Dustin Puryear shared his thoughts on the future of Paddy Pimblett in the division after Pimblett`s victory over Michael Chandler.
Puryear stated, “Pimblett is now a legitimate contender. While Chandler is a respected fighter, Paddy needs a tougher challenge next. Ideally, he should fight Gamrot, Oliveira, or Tsarukian to truly test himself. However, from a fan perspective, I`d be incredibly excited to see him go up against Dan Hooker. That fight would be absolutely amazing.”
It is worth recalling that Pimblett secured a knockout victory over Michael Chandler at UFC 314 in Miami, USA.
