UFC star Paddy Pimblett is firing back at Logan Paul.
During an interview with MMA Fighting’s Ariel Helwani, Paul said he would be interested in fighting Pimblett in the UFC if he ever made the transition to MMA.
“I have found out who I would like to fight if I did a UFC match: Paddy the Baddy (Pimblett),” he said.
“They say he is the next Conor McGregor right, he is super charismatic and entertaining as hell. He is on the come-up and young like me and has a real loudmouth. I like the way he can perform.”
“He could get up to 185lbs and I could get down to 185lbs for a UFC match. It’s the only thing I don’t know if I would win, he is a good a–fighter and I have never had an MMA fight. If I am doing it obviously I think I am going to win.”
During an appearance on the Happy Hour podcast, Pimblett reacted to Paul’s idea of an MMA match against him. The UFC star went on to say that Paul would “never walk again” if they were ever to face off in the Octagon.

‘I’ll snap his ankle for him, I’ll snap his knee ligament in 12 places so he’ll never walk again, the big juicehead.
‘He’s a proper tool, he needs to stick to wrestling, he needs to stick to like fake fighting.
‘Him and Dillon Danis was probably staged as well, Dillon Danis threw more punches at the security guard than he did in six rounds at Logan Paul.’
Logan is probably better off staying in wrestling, because there’s a good chance he could get hurt badly in MMA by someone like Paddy Pimblett.
