Paddy Pimblett achieved a significant victory over Michael Chandler at UFC 314, showcasing his stand-up skills and grappling prowess. He attributes his success to his fight IQ, which he likens to that of Jon Jones, and claims that his training focus has shifted to striking because of his confidence in his grappling abilities. With five finishes in seven UFC wins, Pimblett believes one more victory against top contenders like Charles Oliveira or Dustin Poirier will secure him a title shot, emphasizing the importance of strategy in his fighting style.
Me and my team, we got the best game planners that you can get. We've got the best fight IQ... That's why I've just come out and beat Chandler up for three rounds before finishing him.
I personally think now I'm one fight away from the title. The names that I just mentioned - If I beat Charles, Dustin, Justin, even Arman [Tsarukyan] that little b-h a-.
