Chandler reacted to the announcement of the fight against Pimblett

"I really like this fight. I respect Paddy. He's an experienced fighter who has a brilliant future ahead of him. But on April 12, he's going to face a saw named Michael Chandler. As always, I'll be the most exciting guy to step into the octagon that night. I'll get everyone on their feet. I'm gonna make everybody sit on the edge of their chair. In typical fashion, I will go to the fight with the sole purpose of rendering my opponent unconscious," Chandler said on his social media page.
