Chandler (23-10 MMA, 2-5 UFC) suffered a third-round TKO loss to Paddy Pimblett (23-3 MMA, 7-0 UFC) in Saturday’s co-main event at Kaseya Center in Miami. The former Bellator champion and UFC title challenger now has lost three consecutive fights and five of his past six.

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.
