“The goal posts are always moved when I win”

Las Vegas – Paddy Pimbett does not expect to obtain a credit with a victory at the UFC 314.

Pimbett (22-3 MMA, 6-0 UFC) takes its most notable name to date when he faces the old UFC title challenger Michael Chandler (23-9 MMA, 2-4 UFC) in a co-printer five round events in Kaseya Center in Miami (ESPN + Pay-Per-View, ESPN / Disney +, ESPN +).

Invainu in the octagon, Pimbett was invited to a victory on Chandler transforming him from the prospective to the candidate on the title.

“Each fight, I am underestimated and neglected,” said Pimbett at the press conference before the fight of the UFC 314 on Friday. “But I get there with someone who is in the top 10, someone who fought all the legends of the division. He fought for the title.

“So, in the end, I’m going to enter it and when I win, people cannot discuss sh * t – but they will. The goal posts are always moved when I win. People will start saying things. But I will be classified n ° 7 once this fight is over, and I will be in the running. »»

We asked Pimbett who he preferred to be champion when he headed for the title; Islam Makhachev, which currently holds the light belt, or its Ilia Topuria rival.

“Islam Makhachev,” said Pimbett. “I don’t think (Topuria) approaches him. After defeating chandler, I would like to fight Ilia then, but we will see what will happen. I would love to fight (Dustin) Poirier. I would love to fight (Charles) Oliveira. I just want to fight someone who will make me a fight for the title, because that is obviously why we are doing. »»
