Harry Kettle - April 15, 2025

UFC legend Dustin Poirier has given his thoughts on who Paddy Pimblett could face off against next inside the Octagon. On Saturday night, Paddy Pimblett really arrived in the UFC’s lightweight division. He’s been in the promotion for a good few years now but against Michael Chandler, he proved that he is elite.
