Paddy Pimblett UFC Manchester Call Outs
While many fighters have called him out over recent months two fighters in particular have caught his attention. These fighters called Paddy Pimblett out after their victories at UFC 300. The fighters are Bobby Green who was able to get a decision victory over Jim Miller who called out Paddy Pimblett after his fight. The other fighter is a long-time rival Renato Moicano who also called out Paddy Pimblett after submitting Jalin Turner. Posting a video onto his YouTube channel he started with responding to Bobby Green;
“As you know, UFC 300, everybody wants a slice of ‘The Baddy,’”
“Bobby Green screamed my name on the mic after it. Didn’t surprise me, know what I mean? He might be ranked, but he’s got no followers and he needs me. Just like everyone else, they want to fight me because they know I’m the boy. Bobby Green’s an option. If Bobby Green wants to fight, I’m there.”
Pimblett Response
Bobby Green is a UFC Veteran who has had 49 professional fights and 25 UFC Fights. Bobby Green has won 3 out of his last 4 UFC fights and is currently ranked number 15 in the UFC official lightweight rankings. While it is a position Paddy Pimblett would like to take, he also has other plans he would like to take. These include being able to convince Moicano to spend a few months with him filming a season of The Ultimate Fighter.
“I’d rather fight my boy, Moicano,”
“Where you at, Renato? I don’t even dislike Renato Moicano. I actually like him. He’s a funny guy. He’s a cool dude. So me and him having a fight would be hilarious. The buildup to that fight would be very, very funny. I think it’d be even funnier if me and him done a season of The Ultimate Fighter.”
“That’d be six, seven, eight weeks of pure comedy for the fans. So I would — I’d love that, to be honest. And I’d rather go right in at rank 10 rather than beating rank 15.”
