Michael Bisping has formally dominated out Michael Chandler as a high light-weight contender after UFC 314.
Chandler (23-10 MMA, 2-5 UFC) suffered a third-round TKO loss to Paddy Pimblett (23-3 MMA, 7-0 UFC) in Saturday’s co-main occasion at Kaseya Heart in Miami. The previous Bellator champion and UFC title challenger now has misplaced three consecutive fights and 5 of his previous six.
Chandler consistently makes use of the moniker “see you on the high,” however Bisping believes these days are over.
“I don’t say this flippantly, however that was a career-killing efficiency for Michael Chandler,” Bisping mentioned on his YouTube channel. “Sure, after all, he’ll struggle once more. Sure, he’ll nonetheless become profitable. Sure, individuals will wish to tune in. However that’s it. There ain’t no extra title talks, there is no such thing as a extra,’see you on the high.’ There’s none of that.
“Paddy Pimblett simply put an finish to all of that. If he was 30 years outdated, he might have one other go. He might mud himself off and have one other crack on the whip. However no, father time is undefeated. He’s 38 years outdated, and there ain’t no method that he’s getting again into title competition ever once more.”
Quite the opposite, Bisping was very impressed with Pimblett’s largely one-sided efficiency in opposition to Chandler.
“Paddy Pimblett seemed ridiculous,” Bisping mentioned. “He seemed just like the man that he’s all the time spoke about, the individual that he says that he’s, the individual that calls out everybody, that dismisses all of the opposition on the high. And for somebody who doesn’t name individuals out, he known as out everybody.
“Charles Oliveira, Justin Gaethje, Dustin Poirier, he didn’t give a single f*ck and rightly so. The person is coming to be a champion. Will he try this? We don’t know, however I’ll let you know what: After this efficiency, everybody’s going to be taking him much more critically. He seemed like a killer tonight.”
