Following the biggest win of his career to date, we take a look at five options for Paddy Pimblett’s next fight after his statement victory against Michael Chandler.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The thirty-year-old Liverpudlian dominated his opponent to climb into the top 10 of the lightweight rankings.<\/p>\n

Chandler had no answer and was beaten both on the ground and on his feet, with UFC president Dana White<\/strong><\/a> calling Pimblett the ‘real deal’.<\/p>\n

Paddy ‘the baddy’ Pimblett<\/strong><\/a> has now won seven fights since joining the UFC in 2021, and has said he wants one more victory in 2025 before a title shot next year.<\/p>\n

In an interview after the fight with Chandler, he listed several fighters he would be interested in facing.<\/p>\n

Below, we’ve listed five options for Paddy Pimblett’s next fight.<\/p>\n

Paddy Pimblett’s Next Fight: Five Possibilities<\/h2>\n

Charles Oliveira<\/h3>\n
\"Charles
Charles Oliveira<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Top of Paddy Pimblett’s next fight wish-list is Charles Oliviera<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The Brazilian is ranked second in the lightweight division and the former champion holds the UFC record for the most finishes, with 20.<\/p>\n

Oliviera also holds a UFC record with 16 submission victories, so this fight would give Pimblett a great opportunity to prove himself.<\/p>\n

Pimblett said of Oliviera: “I want to be a world champion and beating a former champion in Oliveira… he gets called the best submission artist the world has ever seen.<\/p>\n

“So I’d love to go up against that because I think I’ve got better submissions than him.”<\/p>\n

Dustin Poirier<\/h3>\n
\"Dustin

Another legendary fighter, Dustin Poirier<\/strong> is seen by many as the best fighter to have never won an un disputed title.<\/p>\n

At 36, the American is rumoured to be retiring after his next fight, so there could be a huge opportunity for Pimblett to face him with massive amounts of coverage and hype.<\/p>\n

Justin Gaethje<\/h3>\n

Another elite fighter who failed to win an undisputed belt is Justin Gaethje<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Although he held the interim belt in 2020, he was stopped by Khabib Nurmagomedov in 2020 and Oliveira in 2022 while trying to win the undisputed championship.<\/p>\n

Pimblett has described Gaethje as a ‘legend’ and somebody he would also love to face.<\/p>\n

He said: “These are all names etched in the history of the lightweight division – names people recognise and love – so beating them would be boss.”<\/p>\n

Ilia Topuria<\/h3>\n
\"Ilia

The feud between Pimblett and Ilia Topuria<\/strong><\/a> is well-known.<\/p>\n

Topuria vacated his featherweight title in February in order to move up to the lightweight division.<\/p>\n

In 2022, the pair clashed backstage at UFC London, and with the pair now in the same weight division, a fight seems inevitable eventually.<\/p>\n

“I’d love to welcome him to 155lb but apparently he’s sitting out and waiting for a title shot,” Pimblett told BBC Sport<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

“I’d forgotten about him, that’s how irrelevant he is. What I’ve just done to Chandler is half the blueprint to beating him.”<\/p>\n

Arman Tsarukyan<\/h3>\n
\"Arman

The final fighter Pimblett has openly discussed is Arman Tsarukyan<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The Armenian is top of the lightweight rankings and due to fight for the title in January, but pulled out of his bout with Makhachev due to injury.<\/p>\n

Dana White has suggested Tsarukyan won’t get another immediate title fight once he’s returned from injury, leaving Pimblett as a possible opponent.<\/p>\n

Tsarukyan described Pimblett as having had “the easiest path to the top in the UFC”, while Pimblett responded by calling the Armenian a “sausage”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
