Chandler has not made excuses for defeat, instead praises Pinbullett for his well-executed game plan and best performance for his nightly punch.
“I feel like I couldn’t get my rhythm. I couldn’t get my range. Mizuta fights for a long time, he fights in the air with his chin and he’s quite far from you. I throw a lot of kicks to keep him far.
“It’s one of these deals you learn. The hat is heading towards the paddy fields, he has a great game plan, he went out there and won.” We have recognized the previous UFC lightweight title challenger.
He was beaten firmly by the pinblet, but despite Chandler getting into it with a prolonged knee problem, he has no excuse for his defeat:

What will be next for Michael Chandler after Paddy Pimblett’s defeat?
Michael Chandler’s recent defeat to Paddy Pimblett at UFC 314 marked his third straight loss in the UFC.
The Americans currently boast a professional MMA record of 23-10. He is currently in the UFC seventh round, losing five matches and winning just two.
That being said, he is still a big name in the MMA circle and a fan favorite. Not only that, but he’s always having an interesting fight, so why is UFC president Dana White giving “Iron” so many opportunities?
The problem with everyone’s lips is what Chandler does next. The former Bellator champion has revealed he wants to fight, but will rest summer before returning to the gym ahead of the next contest.
Chandler has been following the Battle of Conor McGregor for almost two years. That remains a viable option if the Irish return to the UFC. That being said, it doesn’t look like McGregor will soon fight again.
In the meantime, Chandler still wants to compete in the UFC. We still see who Michael Chandler’s next fight will oppose, but don’t worry if it’s another thoroughly entertaining match.
“I definitely take a break from the summer. I’ve already spoken to the UFC. I’ll show up, I’ll become a fan, I’ll make some appearances.
“I’ll be part of the UFC brand, but I’ll need to take a little time to heal my body. Then I’ll need to make sure that: Obviously there are a lot of different names. Chandler concluded.
