What Time is Paddy the Baddy Fighting Tonight at UFC 314?
Alright, so here we are—UFC 314 fight night, and the question on everyone’s mind is simple: what time is Paddy the Baddy fighting tonight? Let me walk you through what’s going down and why this one is such a big deal.
Tonight, April 12th, UFC 314 is taking over the Kaseya Center in Miami, Florida, and it’s shaping up to be one of the most exciting cards we’ve seen in a while. Paddy Pimblett, aka “Paddy the Baddy,” is stepping into the co-main event slot in what is undeniably the toughest test of his UFC career so far. He’s facing off against none other than Michael Chandler—a veteran, former Bellator lightweight champ, and all-around beast in the Octagon.
Paddy is coming into this fight with a perfect UFC record, unbeaten in his first six fights. He’s already made waves with high-profile wins over Tony Ferguson, Jared Gordon, Jordan Leavitt, and a jaw-dropping knockout debut against Luigi Vendramini. But Chandler? That’s a whole different animal. We’re talking about a guy who’s gone toe-to-toe with killers like Oliveira, Gaethje, and Poirier. This isn’t just another fight—this is a statement opportunity for Pimblett.

So, when should you tune in? The main card kicks off at 3am BST (10pm ET / 7pm PT) , and since Paddy is the co-main, you can expect him to make that walk to the cage somewhere around 4am BST (11pm ET / 8pm PT). Of course, it’s fight night, so times can always shift a bit based on how the earlier bouts go. But if you’re planning to catch Paddy do his thing live, that’s your window.
And trust me, you’ll want to be watching this one. The stakes are sky-high. Pimblett is currently ranked 12th in the lightweight division, and beating Chandler could catapult him into the top 10—or even higher. On the flip side, Chandler’s been hungry for a win after a rough streak, and he’ll be gunning to remind everyone that he’s still a threat in the division.
The card itself is stacked. Alexander Volkanovski returns in the main event to try and reclaim the featherweight title against the fast-rising Diego Lopes. Then there’s Patricio Pitbull making his long-awaited UFC debut against Yair Rodriguez, Bryce Mitchell vs. Jean Silva in a heated featherweight clash, and a solid light heavyweight bout between Nikita Krylov and Dominick Reyes. It’s loaded from top to bottom.
You can catch the prelims on TNT Sports 1 in the UK , with streaming available on Discovery+ , and the early prelims on UFC Fight Pass . For US fans, everything is rolling out on ESPN+ .
Bottom line? Set your alarms, prep the snacks, and get ready for a war. Paddy the Baddy is stepping into the spotlight tonight, and if he pulls this off, he’ll be hard to ignore in the title conversation.
