Paddy Mambalat was to be drawn away from a backstage battle with Colby Covington after his huge UFC 314 win on Michael Chandler on Saturday night. Liverpoodlian registered his biggest career in Miami, excluding his opponent before sealing TKO’s decision in the third round.
The referee ended the competition after repeated ground strikes from the mint. This indicated the seventh direct win for the 30-year-old after signing with Dana White, and took its overall MMA record at 23-3. Later, he used his post-fight interview to call Brazil’s Fighting Icon Charles Olivera.
However, as the Pimbleut was releasing its challenge, it was interrupted by Kovington.
‘The Baddi’ reacted by threatening to “slap” American. He then moved forward because security members struggled to pull the two fighters away from each other.
