UFC lightweight fighter Paddy Pimblett believes that he is one of the most demanded fighters in the division currently. His recent statement revealed it. However, fans had a hilarious response to his claims, and they seemed to disagree with the fighter. Although the Britisher has only fought in the UFC thrice, making his debut in 2021, his rise was quick and he became a well-known name. But fans did not like him boasting about it.

‘The Baddy‘ was a former Cage Warriors featherweight champion. What’s more, he has drawn comparisons with a certain Irishman who’s a former 2 UFC division champion. It is none other than Conor McGregor.

Furthermore, UFC Hall of Fame inductee, Daniel Cormier gave his insights. He explained how as soon as he entered the octagon, DC realized that there was something about him. The only question was if the performance would be able to match that, which they did. He said, “The performances matched the swagger and the confidence.“
