News Paddy Pimblett big plans: "I'll go up and f*cking win the welterweight belt"

[tank666]

in short he:

He's going to knock Gaethje out;
He'll go and beat Ilia;
He'll go up and f*cking win the WW belt.

Check it out below.

"I think everyone's going to be shocked, to be honest, because I think I'm going to knock Gaethje out," Pimblett told Red Corner MMA. "So, people won't expect that. People think I'm just going to try to grapple and take him down, but I'm not. I'm going to come out, and I'm going to put it on him. I don't see him getting past the third, just like Chandler."

He has big plans if he gets past Gaethje.

"I knew I'd end up fighting for the belt anyway," Pimblett said. "To fight a legend like Justin Gaethje for the interim belt is – I've paid my dues to get this, lad. I've always knew I'd end up fighting for the title, and I'll win this interim belt then I'll beat up Ilia and take the proper belt, defend that, and then I'll go up and f*cking win the welterweight belt."

So he’s basically saying he’ll run thru gaethje, illia, arman , and Islam in succession…
I’ll take things that’ll never happen for 1000 Alex

Yeah that's a tough lineup right there lol

I honestly feel like about 80% of this “moving up” trend, going all the way back to Conor, is because most fighters start their careers in weight classes that are too low and end up killing themselves to make the cut for some perceived size advantage. As they age, the cuts get even more brutal, and once they win a belt, they finally have the leverage to stop draining themselves.

Paddy probably should’ve always been at 170. Conor probably should never have fought at 145. Khamzat likely had no business being at 170 either.

I love Paddy, but this exactly.

 

[PaulieVegas27]

Shut up and go home Paddy, you're drunk.

 

[ComfortablyNumb55]

Paddy is for real.

 

[Chagaev]

But Max KTFO Gaethje and is not even given a title shot.

 

[Bowel-forged Stool]

Maybe he can get an interim titleshot vs Usman at WW if Islam gets injured.

Then go fight interim when khamzat leaves 185…

First 3 division interim champ!!

 

[dog y]

No. He will not.

I like when guys talk about being active & that they don't mind creating exciting fights & so on

But truth be told, Paddy hasn't really been active as of late.

 

[MRT]

Considering how few contenders he would have beaten if that is indeed his path to the LW title, he would hopefully be told to STFU and defend the belt multiple times before that fantasy is even on the table for discussion.

Getting a manufactured old man tour and artificially bumping him up the rankings for not even fighting = "I paid my dues lad"


lol ok

Manufactured old man tour, u talking about Topuria right? Volk, Holloway, and Oliveira while he ducks Arman and Paddy

Don't get me wrong, I believe Topuria beats both Arman and Paddy, but a duck is still a duck
