The Paddy Pimblett vs. Michael Chandler fight is now the hot topic after Pimblett delivered a dominant victory at UFC 314. Before the brutal loss, many had placed their bets on Chandler as the favorite.

Dillon Danis Settles a Seven-Year Grudge Chandler’s Loss
It took almost seven years, but someone close to Conor McGregor finally got a chance to clap back at Michael Chandler. Chandler, the former Bellator champion, recently suffered another knockout loss, this time to Paddy Pimblett at UFC 314.
As Pimblett dominated Chandler, Conor McGregor’s close ally, Dillon Danis, wasted no time celebrating the win. Danis quickly took to social media to mock Chandler, bringing up a 2018 tweet where Chandler had insulted him.
In that old tweet, Chandler had said, “Just catching up to #bellator198 @dillondanis said he was the “highest paid fighter in @BellatorMMA” but I think he meant to say “most unathletic fighter in Bellator” and that was against a man with a losing record. #cringe #slow #sloth #bellator198.”
