Paddy Pimblett has made quite the stir among UFC fans even before making his debut inside the Octagon. MMA community has been forced to notice the British fighter. Recently, Pimblett got a response from ‘The Notorious’ Conor McGregor himself.

Can Paddy Pimblett follow the footsteps of Conor McGregor?

McGregor joined the UFC as a two-division Cage Warriors champion. His personality has always been something that has intrigued fans. Also, he backed his talks inside the Octagon as well. It’s hard to argue the impeccable skills he put on display in the earlier days of his UFC career. The Irishman’s meteoric rise was the primary reason behind the UFC’s popularity today.

Pimblett has joined the promotion as a Cage Warriors champion as well. And much like McGregor, he has a personality that fans love as well. But it would be unfair to put him under the pressure of matching McGregor, as it might hinder his achievements. Nevertheless, fans can’t wait to see what ‘The Baddy’ can bring to the Octagon.

Also, given his recent exchange with McGregor, Pimblett has gotten a few more new eyeballs attracted to him. If he can perform in the same manner under the brightest of lights, remains to be seen.
