Charles Oliveira will fight Paddy Pimblett next, believes Bruce Buffer
Paddy Pimblett secured the biggest win of his career in his previous outing, a co-main event clash against Michael Chandler at UFC 314 on April 12. The Scouser dominated the former title challenger from the opening bell until his TKO victory in Round 3.
Pimblett is now ranked at No.8 in the lightweight division, and believes he is one or two fights away from a title fight. Well-known UFC announcer, Bruce Buffer, recently discussed Pimblett's next fight, and believes he could be matched up with Charles Oliveira, whom 'The Baddy' shared interest in facing after defeating Chandler in April.
Buffer was recently interviewed by TMZ Sports, with a snippet of the interview being posted to X by @RedCorner_MMA, where he said:
"Charles Oliveira is probably the one he [Pimblett] will be coming up against for sure... Oliveira is great on the ground and great standing up. Paddy is proving himself both on the ground and standing up. Both have long limbs. It's going to be a brawl for it all if it ever happens."
