Dustin Poirier Expects Michael Chandler to Defeat Paddy Pimblett

I expect him to beat him also, but Paddy did surprise me with that slick win over Queen Green. I wouldnt mind being pleasantly surprised again.
 
I don't think he's a bitch at all tbh. I mean he may not be considered elite yet but I don't see him refusing any fights either. I don't see him backing down from anyone. Maybe I'm missing something here?
lol, I actually think he is elite. BUT...


Erry body calling each other 'bitch' in OP - I just felt obliged to join in lol, did not mean it to be taken too seriously.


Tho if he deliberately broke Green's arm after he was unconscious, that's pretty serious.

Dustin Poirier believes Michael Chandler will end Paddy Pimblett’s winning streak at UFC 314.

Chandler will look to return to the win column in a lightweight clash against Pimblett at UFC 314 on April 12 at the Kaseya Center in Miami, Florida. Both Chandler and Pimblett have opened at nearly even odds on most sportsbooks. And Poirier advises bettors to wager heavy on former opponent Chandler for easy money.

“Even though he's a bitch, Chandler all day go heavy on the money,” Poirier wrote on X.




Chandler suffered a submission loss against Poirier at UFC 281 in November 2022. He then spent the better part of two years waiting for a Conor McGregor matchup before finally returning against Charles Oliveira at UFC 309 this past November. “Iron” suffered a unanimous decision loss, his second against “Do Bronx,” making him 2-4 in the UFC.

Meanwhile, Pimblett is 6-0 in the UFC with four finishes. His most recent victory came against Bobby Green at UFC 304 in Jul, 2024. Pimblett recently teased a matchup against Poirier, who instantly denied the rumours. Poirier hinted that his next fight could be his last one in a “legends only” matchup. Former UFC lightweight Nate Diaz accused Poirier of ducking “The Baddy.”

Pimblett was happy with Diaz’s comments but doesn’t feel disrespected by Poirier for dismissing him from the league of legends. While Pimblett understands Poirier could earn more money by fighting a bigger name, he urges the Louisiana native to continue fighting past his next bout.

“Nate putting up, ‘Fight paddy you p—y, he’d beat you’ – legendary s—t. You know everyone loves Nate Diaz,” Pimblett said on his YouTube channel. “I don’t feel disrespected. I understand what he’s saying, ‘Legends only.’ I’m not a legend. And he could earn more money on a pay-per-view fighting someone else, but why would he retire after one fight lad? Stop being a b—h a—e… Fight your contract out, have a few fights.”





I don't know if I agree, maybe. Chandler up in age, we shall see.
 
of course dusty is gonna hype up the guy he beat in order to make his own win age better... but the reality is CHINler's UFC career has been pretty trash.. only winning 2 out of 6
 
Paddy better cover up well those first two rounds.
 
Chandler is a fantastic fighter , but he’s 38 and in the last 4 years he’s only beaten Tony Ferguson’s corpse, just saying
 
Unless Chandler is overnight washed up he should handle Paddy without much problem but with his shitty fight IQ who knows.

And this is why I think Paddy wins. Chandler is cardio and power but his fight IQ is some of the worst in MMA. Plus, Chandler can be tagged multiple times in a fight since he leaves his chin open. If this were 3 rounds I would say Chandler but with 5 rounds if Paddy can survive the first round I think he wins.
 
chandler is quite literally a people pleaser.

its why he responds to trash talk with only "kindness" or Conor roasting him with him having nothing back

he is a pleaser simply bc he cares to entertain the fans so they like him rather than, idk

winning a fight.

if he does the same thing against a shrewd fighter in Paddy, who isn't washed up like Chandler, he will lose.
