The past few years have been frustrating for the American who was in pole position to face Conor McGregor in his comeback to the Octagon. However, this particular contest failed to materialise after McGregor injured his toe. 

A win for either man will see them move into title contention and with their fan friendly styles, Chandler and Pimblett could steal the show in the UFC 314 co-main event.
