UFC 314 takes place tonight as Paddy Pimblett targets a massive win over Michael Chandler in the co-main event.
The trajectory of Liverpool native ‘The Baddy’s’ UFC career is likely to be decided at Kaseya Center in Miami, Florida as he steps up for the most significant professional test of his life to date.

Despite the best efforts of Jared Gordon, Pimblett has yet to be defeated in his six fights in the world’s most prestigious MMA promotion so far and will hope to build further on the momentum from his statement first-round submission of King Green at UFC 304 in Manchester last summer.
However, he faces a huge challenge against Chandler, the entertaining and tough-as-nails three-time Bellator world champion who is desperate for a win after losing four of his last fights and given up on a lucrative showdown with Conor McGregor.
After Chandler vs Pimblett, the vacant UFC men’s featherweight title is up for grabs as former long-time champion Alexander Volkanovski attempts to win back the belt he lost to Ilia Topuria - who surprisingly vacated in February before a move up to lightweight - against Diego Lopes.
There is also much excitement over the UFC debut at 37 of Lopes’ fellow Brazilian Patricio Pitbull, a legendary four-time Bellator world champion who is up against Yair Rodriguez of Mexico.
