Paddy Pimblett, the rising star in the UFC, is ready to make his return to the octagon, and he has plenty of options ahead of him. After two fighters, Bobby Green and Renato Moicano, called him out following their victories at UFC 300, Pimblett responded in a YouTube video.
Pimblett addressed Green’s callout first, stating, “Bobby Green screamed my name on the mic after it. 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.”
Green, a veteran with 49 pro bouts under his belt, currently holds the No. 15 spot in the UFC’s lightweight rankings. However, Pimblett has his eyes set on a different opponent, his longtime rival Moicano. Pimblett expressed his interest in not only fighting Moicano but also filming a season of The Ultimate Fighter with him for some comedic entertainment.
With a target date set for the upcoming card in Manchester, England, on July 27, Pimblett is eager to continue his winning streak and climb up the rankings. Coming off a unanimous decision win over Tony Ferguson, Pimblett is determined to face tougher opponents and make his way into the top 15 rankings.
As Pimblett aims to solidify his status as a top contender in the UFC, fans can expect exciting matchups and entertaining moments from “The Baddy” in the near future.
