Former UFC interim lightweight champion Dustin Puryear shared his thoughts on Paddy Pimblett`s future in the division following Pimblett`s recent victory over Michael Chandler.
Puryear stated that Pimblett should now be considered a legitimate contender. While acknowledging Chandler`s status, Puryear believes Pimblett`s next opponent should be a true test. He suggested potential matchups against top contenders like Gamrot, Oliveira, or Tsarukian. However, Puryear admitted that, as a fan, he would be most excited to see Pimblett in a fight against Dan Hooker, emphasizing the entertainment value of such a bout.
It is worth noting that Pimblett achieved a knockout victory over Michael Chandler at UFC 314 in Miami, USA.
