Paddy Pimblett is inarguably one of the most famous fighters on the current UFC roster. Since his UFC debut in 2021, ‘The Baddy’ has shot to fame like no other in the UFC. He is known to the MMA world for his exceptional submission capabilities and his good guy attitude.

Pimblett also runs his own YouTube channel and is quite a celebrity over there as well. But, being a celebrity often comes with its share of controversies. The same was witnessed when one of Pimblett’s subscribers criticized him for being a ‘Clinical Grandiose Narcissist’. That was because Pimblett asked one of his fans to say ‘please’ while asking for a photograph.

While ‘The Baddy’ likes it when someone speaks in a humble tone with a few ‘please’ and ‘thanks’, a YouTube subscriber made a few comments about it.

Pimblett uploaded a vlog on his YouTube channel where he visited ‘The Notorious‘, Conor McGregor’s pub. While having a tour of the place, one of his fans came up to ask for a photograph saying, “Paddy, can I get a photo?“, to which Pimblett replied, “Where your manners, lad?”. Obviously, he wanted the fan to be more courteous in his approach.

Pimblett also said, “No one on this island got any manners man”.

Paddy Pimblett called egotistic by his own viewer

One of his subscribers chose to dig upon Pimblett regarding this incident. He took to the comments section of the video and wrote, “If you’re going to act nice enough to take pics with the public then do it because you want to make them happy, not because they submitted to your demand to say please”. Pimblett’s comment on manners clearly didn’t please this subscriber.

“”What’s the magic word” is what Brit’s say to children when they’re teaching them manners,” the user wrote.
