The UFC 282 saw Paddy Pimblett add another victory to his 6-game win streak. But his record didn’t impress UFC Veteran Michael Bisping. ‘The Baddy’ defeated Jared Gordon at the co-main event with the help of a controversial judge’s decision. Therefore, Bisping was not ready to call Pimblett one of the top fighters in his league. However, Bisping stated Pimblett lacks one crucial aspect to be recognized as an elite of the game. And a fan following is not everything in terms of being a great fighter.

Like Jake Paul, his stardom and fame are bigger than his actual talent and skill. However, the UFC legend warned Pimblett to change his ways to become the best.

Michael Bisping had some strong advice for Paddy Pimblett

Michael Bisping warned Paddy Pimblett to steer clear of the road he’s going down on after his UFC 282 victory. The 27-year-old fighter has a massive fanbase behind him. Because ‘The Baddy’ has a great sense of humor, which makes it easier for him to connect with the younger audience.

For many MMA fans, these factors make him a popular choice and easier to root for.

In a podcast episode with Anthony Smith, Bisping stated, “Co-main event spots… you need to have a fighter of a certain magnitude”

“Paddy has that…he has the following. He’s not yet ranked…”

“but if he’s going to get ranked, then you have to fight someone…”

Bisping warned that he’d imitate a popular boxer who’s not fought any formidable opponent in his career.

Jake Paul is not as big as he thinks of himself

Michael Bisping had nothing sweet to say about Jake Paul as he compared his career to Paddy Pimblett’s. As they are still very young in their professional experience and their age. But the 43-year-old hates the fact that Paul struts around like he’s the best boxer, despite his inexperience. And is worried that Pimblett might go down the same route.

Bisping said, “It’s like Jake Paul, keep going on about being bloody the best boxer and he’s going to be a champion in boxing…”

He added, “you’re yet to fight a boxer in your boxing career”

And reminded Pimblett of his priorities to become a world-beater in the UFC.

That, all the glory Paddy Pimblett has had, is against fighters of a lower caliber. And he needs to face higher-ranked opponents to really prove his mettle.
