Michael Chandler has released a statement after his loss to Paddy Pimblett, as he dropped to 2-5 in his last seven fights in the co-main event of UFC 314. It seems the former lightweight title challenger is far from done competing and the loss is just a minor setback.

Pimblett secured a third-round TKO after splitting open the former three-time Bellator champion with a vicious knee, leaving Chandler to slump out of the Octagon before Bruce Buffer even had time to raise the Briton’s arm. With that, Chandler succumbed to his fifth loss in seven UFC bouts.

Michael Chandler left the octagon before Bruce Buffer even had time to announce the result in his fight against Paddy Pimblett at UFC 314 but he finally broke his silence with a brief statement released on social media on Monday.
