Rising UFC star Paddy Pimblett is fresh off a controversial win against Jared Gordon at UFC 282. He is now on a six-win streak. Fellow lightweight fighter Renato Moicano has been trying to capture an opportunity for a fight with the English sensation. He further resorted to the use of social media to bag try to see this through.

The fan-favorite Pimblett became an MMA sensation in 2021. He is an entertaining character in and out of the octagon. He also made waves in social media with his YouTube channel. Paddy Pimblett is currently unranked in the UFC’s official rankings. Renato Moicano has offered him a fight proposal. The Brazilian fighter wants to be Pimblett‘s first-ranked opponent. He tweeted, “London sounds good.”

Moicano is a well-seasoned veteran fighter. He had a memorable bout against Brad Riddell at UFC 281. That fight helped him gain a considerable amount of fan following. This could be Paddy‘s biggest challenge in the UFC to date.

Moicano wants to fight Paddy Pimblett at UFC 286

Moicano is riding high with momentum from his last fight. He now seeks to carry this momentum and fight ‘The Baddy’ at the O2 Arena at UFC 286. Renato Moicano believes that knocking out Pimblett in his own home country would help him get more attention. UFC will be hosting its next UK pay-per-view in March 2023. Leon Edwards was planned as the headlining fighter for the upcoming UK PPV. But there are many people who want to see Paddy Pimblett on the card.

The Brazilian ace had earlier made it clear that he was seeking big-money fights. He posted a tweet a few days ago and took a shot at the Huyton native, “MOICANO WANTS MONEY …Spread the gospel… paddy the fatty is in trouble.”

Renato Moicano has been an active social media user in recent times. He has been lauded for his sense of humor. Moicano is currently holding the 13th rank in the UFC official rankings. But many think that it is unlikely that the Brazilian will go head-to-head with the UFC’s self-proclaimed ‘cash cow.’ Many see Pimblett taking the steady route of slowly building his career up.

Moicano has been performing in the UFC for almost eight years. He debuted back in 2014. Moicano was 33 years old.

Should the UFC make this fight happen, the consequences of the result could prove to be detrimental to Pimblett’s career.
