UFC lightweight Michael Chandler gave a prediction for the fight between Justin Gaethje and Paddy Pimblett, which will take place as part of UFC 324, with the interim lightweight champion title on the line.

"I believe Justin Gaethje is a more versatile fighter, but Paddy Pimblett is much better than people think. People don't give Paddy enough credit. If I had to choose, I would bet on Justin Gaethje, and he will defeat Ilia Topuria at the end of this year," Chandler said on ESPN MMA.
