Chandler eyes a return to form and a potential McGregor callout as he faces Pimblett in a pivotal lightweight bout.

Michael Chandler is set to face Paddy Pimblett at UFC 314 on April 12, 2025, in Miami, aiming to end a three-fight losing streak.
Chandler has publicly expressed confidence in his aggressive fighting style, predicting a knockout victory over Pimblett in the early rounds.
