Lightweight star Paddy Pimblett is gearing up for the biggest fight of his career. "The Baddy" faces former title challenger Michael Chandler in the UFC 314 co-main event April 12 in Miami. 

On Wednesday, Pimblett released training footage to his YouTube channel as he prepares to 'shock the world.' 

"Nice rounds. Seven in the bag. Do five rounds easy, lad. I've always done loads of rounds when I spar," Pimblett said in the video after sparring. "Everyone always mentions the [Tony] Ferguson fight, saying, 'He gassed in that third round.' Yeah, I was tired. That was because I f*cking tried to finish him at the end of the first. Anyone else gets finished there, but it's Tony Ferguson."

Pimblett will enter the fight with No. 7 ranked Chandler ranked No. 12 in the lightweight division and riding an eight-fight winning streak. 

"Everyone always mentions my gas tank and thinks like my gas tank is bad. It's far from it. I can't wait to shut everyone up," Pimblett said. 

UFC 314 takes place at Kaseya Center in Miami, Florida and is headlined by a fight for the vacant featherweight title between former titleholder Alexander Volkanovski and No. 3 ranked Diego Lopes
