Paddy Pimblett's Hand Sparks Concern Before Major Showdown

As Paddy Pimblett gears up for the most significant fight of his MMA career against Michael Chandler at UFC 314, fans can't help but worry. The highly-anticipated co-main event is just around the corner, set to unfold in Miami this Saturday night.

In a unique build-up, 'The Baddy' recently participated in a joint interview with Chandler, where things took an unexpected turn. The lightweight fighters showcased their hands, but the footage left many viewers in shock. Pimblett's knuckles appeared to be alarmingly swollen, prompting a wave of concern from fans.

Fans Can't Stop Talking About It!

Paddy has built an impressive 6-0 record in the UFC, including a spectacular knockout against Luigi Vendramini in his debut. However, a viral video of his right hand has had fans buzzing with worry. "Paddy's hands are grotesque. They look super inflamed," one fan expressed. Another chimed in, "WTF is wrong with Paddy's hand?"

Their reactions were a mix of shock and humor, with one stating, "F--- me, Paddy’s knuckles!" Others speculated about injury, jokingly suggesting he might be injecting performance enhancers directly into his swollen knuckles.

Pimblett Issues Warning Ahead of Fight

As the fight approaches, Pimblett isn't just concerned about his own health but also about Chandler's fighting tactics. Many of Chandler's former opponents, including Dustin Poirier and Charles Oliveira, have criticized him for employing questionable strategies inside the Octagon.

Pimblett, keen to prevent any unfair play, voiced his worries during a media day press conference, urging for a vigilant referee during their bout. "He’s the nicest man in the world outside the cage, but when he gets in there, he can be a dirty fighter," Pimblett declared. "If you ain't cheating, you’re not trying, and he definitely wants to win. So, I’ll definitely remind the referee to keep an eye out for any of Chandler’s dirty tricks, like grabbing my gloves or eye pokes."

With the stakes higher than ever and curiosity surrounding Pimblett's physical condition, UFC 314 promises to be an event to remember.
