Gadzhiev: Chandlers Days as a Top Fighter Are Over

The well-known Russian promoter, **[Kamil Gadzhiev](https://example.com/tags/11898-kamil-gadzhiev/)**, shared his thoughts on the defeat of American fighter **Michael Chandler** in his match against British fighter **Paddy Pimblett**.

To recap, the bout took place during UFC 314 and ended with Pimblett winning by technical knockout in the third round.

«I’ve seen various sides of Chandler. The craziness in his fights with Eddie Alvarez, his impressive performances in the UFC, and his lackluster showings… But after this match, I have to conclude that he is likely no longer a top fighter. At least, in practical terms, even if he remains formally in the rankings,» Gadzhiev stated on his YouTube channel.

Paddy Pimblett is a rising star, yet to receive the recognition he deserves.
