Dustin Poirier backs Paddy Pimblett to become lightweight champion
UFC veteran Dustin Poirier recently appeared on The Ariel Helwani Show, where he shared his thoughts on Paddy Pimblett's performance against Michael Chandler.
There is no love lost between arch-rivals Poirier and Chandler. However, 'The Diamond' had initially backed Chandler to get the job done at UFC 314. As a result, Poirier was proved wrong, and he admitted that he was impressed by the Scouser's performance and claimed that he could become a champion.
"I really thought Chandler was going to beat him, but I was wrong. Paddy is legit man! If he believes in it, works hard enough, and keeps doing what he's doing, he can be [a champion]."
