Former Bellator champion and ex-UFC title challenger Chandler (23-9 MMA, 2-4 UFC) meets Paddy Pimblett (22-3 MMA, 6-0 UFC) in Saturday’s five-round lightweight co-headliner (pay-per-view, ESPN, ESPN+) at Kaseya Center in Miami.

Liverpool fighter Pimblett is currently 6-0 in his UFC career, while Chandler was due to fight Conor McGregor in the Notorious' octagon return.

UFC's deepest pay-per-view since January is closing in. On Saturday, UFC 314 returns to Miami with a strong lineup featuring former UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski and Diego Lopes in the marquee. But the fights further down the card are driving just as much, if not more, fan interest.

UFC 314 is the best event the promotion has put on thus far in 2025, and the featherweight title occupies the main event spotlight.

Paddy Pimblett is convinced Arman Tsarukyan was cleared to fight at UFC 311 but opted not to. Tsarukyan (22-3 MMA, 9-2 UFC) withdrew from his main event against UFC lightweight champion Islam Makhachev in January just one day earlier after pulling his back.

UFC fighter Paddy Pimblett is close to reaching superstar status in the eyes of UFC lead commentator Jon Anik.

Paddy Pimblett is known for the elite-level BJJ skills that allowed him to sleep Bobby Green last year. However, he introduced himself on the big stage by proving that he also packs one hell of a punch. Pimblett is 100 percent sure his chin won’t get cracked when he faces Michael Chandler at UFC 314.
