Paddy Pimblett once again proved the skeptics wrong with his performance at UFC 314.
Although the event featured significant moments in the featherweight division, including Alexander Volkanovski`s vacant title win, it was arguably Pimblett who captured the most headlines. He secured a dominant victory over veteran contender Michael Chandler, firmly establishing his place among the top 10 fighters in the lightweight division.
However, questions now arise: how high should he climb in the official rankings following such a decisive win?
Debate often surrounds whether Pimblett truly defeated a legitimate top-10 fighter at their peak in Chandler, or if his success was partly due to facing a less-than-optimal version of Chandler inside the octagon.
