One fan took a dig at Pimblett by downplaying his talent.
No chance. Time is gone.
— MICHAEL (@hellamichael) July 17, 2023
Another one did not seem convinced about Pimblett’s prospects.
Only way he’s getting ranked is if they gift him the ranking on top of gifting him wins because he doesn’t beat anyone in the top 20 let alone top 15.

One fan seemed amused by what Pimblett was planning. Meanwhile, another had a laugh at the Scouser’s expense.
Did he really just say he hopes to be ranked? That’s more funny than him keeping the weight off.
— Shane Copeland (@lifeonmarzzzz) July 17, 2023
Ranked 🤣 he must be planning on going back to cage warriors
— Mystic Morty (@Mystic_Morty_) July 17, 2023
This fan had a doubt concerning him which he straightaway asked to the UFC.
A few more fans expressed their notions by replying to the tweet.
Now he wants to be serious.

And another comment was,
Dude will never be ranked lmfao he got beat by a bum
— Thunderboltz (@ThunderboltzYT) July 18, 2023
The tweets make it very evident that the fans don’t seem to agree with Peddy Pimblett’s optimism for the future. They didn’t hesitate to show their chuckles through their tweet. And while Pimblett has big plans for his comeback, he is taking his time to make sure it is a healthy return.

Due to his injury, ‘The Baddy’ is taking a break from the UFC and the MMA world. Even though he was eager to have a go, he said it would be another six months before he could return. Pimblett doesn’t want to rush his recovery and wants to be able to participate before the year is though.
He told all his plans while having an interview with SLOTHBOXX YouTube channel. Pimblett stood victorious in his last UFC clash against another lightweight competitor, Jared Gordon, back in December 2022. Since then, he is away from the MMA circuit.
