    Just watching this now.

    Chandler was outclassed. It certainly raised eyebrows from me that he was wrestling Paddy.

    Sometimes counter intuitive tactics work and when Chandler got takedowns and went for the back I admit he looked good.

    However he couldn't maintain position and that was his downfall.

    Also that vicious knee from Paddy really cracked Chandler's spirit.

    Chandler has been in some wars. Not sure how much he can go on for.

    I reckon he'll retire after that or maybe 1 more.

    Paddy is looking better every fight, wonder who they'll give him next.

    He seems to be very professional with his weight too and not ballooning up.

    Delighted Volk won, would like see Silva vs Volk. He toyed with Mitchell or Silva vs Yair for title shot after the trouble at press conference.

    Chandler 2-5 now in the UFC. And the 2 wins were against Hooker and Tony. A punchbag.

    Delighted for Paddy though. 9 wins in a row. Hasnt lost since he was 23. Will he be ranked top 10 now? Would love to see him fight Max.

    That decision for Volk was a bit questionable.

    i would not have thought he left a good impression with the judges at the end of round 5 being completely in retreat.

    If he ever meets that young Brazilian Lopez again I feel he will be beaten.

    He even mentioned his relatively old age at the interview at the end

    He did get about more 50 SS strikes tbf, I was happy enough with the decision.

    He said win or loss last night he had only 2-3 fights left anyway tbf.

    I would have laughed at Paddy v Justin or Charles a few years ago and while I still fancy the older 2 to get it done, either of those fights do interest me much more, Paddy might be more legit than I initially thought.

    That Paddy Pimblett performance was very legit, Michael Chandler may not be in his prime but he went to War with Olivera, Gaethje and Porier, to be dominated and finished like that is a big message.

    Chandler had a few OK moments in R1 but he was lost in the 2nd and 3rd.

    I was really impressed at how much Pimblett's striking is compared to his first fights in the UFC.

    Also, he's absolutely huge for lightweight.
