Michael Chandler recently shared his thoughts on Paddy Pimblett, one of the UFC's hottest prospects.
Following his victory over Tony Ferguson at UFC 274, 'Iron' spoke to BT Sport's Caroline Pearce about the fight as well as UFC's rising star Pimblett.
Speaking of 'The Baddy', the top lightweight contender stated that he is a big fan of the Englishman and congratulated the Scouser for his achievements so far.
With so much success in his early years, Pimblett is bound to have a lot of people criticizing him. However, Chandler has urged MMA fans not to hate the new prospect but to support the fighter on his journey instead:
"Listen... people are gonna hate on him 'cause he's boisterous and he's loud. Listen, I know you all love Paddy Pimblett. I'm a fan of Paddy Pimblett. So I am excited to [see] him have all his success. There's enough out there for all of us to have a ton of success, get all the lights, all the platform, all the money. Don't hate on a guy just because he's crushing it."

Conor McGregor, you gotta come back and fight somebody. I am the most entertaining lightweight on the planet!"
