UFC sensation Paddy Pimblett is not as controversial as Conor McGregor, but he is regularly thrown into the same category as him because of the energetic aura and the fighting skills to back it up. ‘The Baddy’, who never misses a chance to wrap his name around headlines, did exactly that after his enchanting submission win over Kazula Vargas at UFC London.

The Liverpudlian called out billionaire CEO of Meta, Mark Zuckerberg.

Pimblett, who went 2-0 in the UFC, was fired up and he didn’t miss a chance to take shots at his rivals, opponents, or even tech billionaires. One of them was Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, i.e. a man Pimblett holds responsible for banning his Instagram accounts. Hence, when asked who he wants for a fight next, ‘The Baddy’ had an inevitable answer.

“Mark Zuckerberg. Lad, I’m going to punch your head in, I am sick of you. Sick of you shutting my Instagram accounts down when all I do is help charities and help people with mental health problems. You’re the biggest bully in the world, lad,” Pimblett told Michael Bisping in the O2 Arena in London.

The fight against Vargas was Pimblett’s second bout in the UFC. Although the lightweight won the fight, he himself wasn’t happy with how things went.

‘The Baddy’ locked horns with ‘Kazula’ on the UFC London main card. Fans predicted the fight would be a lopsided one, as they believed Pimblett was a way better fighter than Vargas. However, the Mexican came in with a surprise as he shocked the English arena by knocking down Pimblett in the opening 20 seconds of the 1st round.

The fight immediately went to the ground, but it was all to the advantage of the Liverpudlian. He quickly recovered from the jab and grappled his way out of Vargas’ hold. Then, as he stood up, Pimblett slammed the Mexican and got the finish after securing ‘Kazula’s back with a rear-naked choke.
