It was a great performance from Makhachev who dominated the fight from start to finish. Yet, for Pimblett, he was more surprised at Oliveira&#8217;s lack of performance. With that, he thinks he would&#8217;ve done better than the Brazilian did.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I got so much stick for picking Charles against Islam, which is crazy because a lot of people picked Charles but still on social media posts and stuff oh you picked Charles. Yeah, cause Charles had fought the better people and I thought Charles was going to win,&#8221; Pimblett said at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=KpdG0IazvpM&amp;ab_channel=UFC-UltimateFightingChampionship\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">UFC 282 media day<\/a>. &#8220;Can&#8217;t I have a prediction anymore? People saying you haven&#8217;t given props to Islam, I have. He looked unbelievable that night, he absolutely dominated Charles. I would&#8217;ve put up a better fight that night than Charles did, to be honest.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Although Pimblett thinks he would&#8217;ve put up a better effort that night, it will never be known as the Brit is still ways away from a title shot. However, there is a chance he does end up fighting Makhachev in the future. If that does happen, it would be a massive fight, especially if it is for the title.<\/p>\n<p>Paddy Pimblett, meanwhile, <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/ufc\/paddy-pimblett-vows-to-finish-jared-gordon-in-the-first-round-at-ufc-282-he-just-isnt-on-my-level\/\">is set to return to the Octagon at UFC 282 in the co-main event against Jared Gordon<\/a>.
