Drew Dober Wants a Piece of Paddy Pimblett?
The 33-year-old took to Twitter yesterday to post a photoshopped image of himself and Paddy Pimblett squaring off with no context, which left fans intrigued.
The speculation arose after Pimblett’s appearance behind the booth at Cage Warriors 144, where he revealed he was hoping to be granted a spot on the last pay-per-view of the year at UFC 282 in Las Vegas.
Pimblett Has Sights Set on UFC 282
Pimblett (19-3 MMA) has been a man on a mission since bursting into the UFC just last year, going (3-0) and stopping all of his opponents.
The Liverpudlian exploded into the eyes of worldwide viewers in his UFC debut by crushing Luigi Vendramini in round one after an early scare. Pimblett followed the debut win up with two memorable nights on home soil, defeating Rodrigo Vargas and Jordan Leavitt in London.
Dober (25-11) has been around the block once or twice and has a significant eighteen UFC fights to his name. The American holds a positive UFC record of (11-6 and 1NC).
Dober has always been a trustworthy performer, win or lose, and brings action every time. Having shared the Octagon with the likes of lightweight title challenger Islam Makhachev he’s defiantly battle-tested.
That being said, Dober at this stage of Pimblett’s UFC career would seem a large jump in competition. However, one thing we know is Liverpool’s own won’t turn down a challenge.
