Someone explain why Pimblett has hype please?

Popularity and skill do not correlate with one another. He is charismatic but will not be a factor in the UFC. Not bad per say, and can stick around with the right fights but he'll lose a few in a row at some point in the next few years and get cut.

His name is Patrick. I know a lot of Michael's who are Irish so does that make Bisping somewhat Irish?

you do realise Patrick and Paddy are the same name? My father's name is Patrick, but his friends call him Pat or Paddy, same as Mike for Michael. Also that is a completely different example, Paddy is a traditional Irish name, its given to pretty much 1 irish baby in each generation of the family, Michael is not the sae. Also Bisping is somewhat irish, his mother is Irish, seriously, google it.... Not only that, but Pimblett is an irish name, and Liverpool has an extremely high population of irish immigrants and most of the town is descended from Irish immigrants.
 
It’s his name.

They also probably want an English star to build up the UFC’s influence in that region.
 
If he didn't have a silly name like "Paddy Pimblett" nobody would care. If his name was Patrick Brown it would be a different story.

Brits see a dumbass whose mouth moves faster than their hands and eat that shit up. They'll fall in love with his "wit" (really just being a prick, not clever or funny) and back him even if he's a shit fighter. We've seen it before with Till, McGregor, Bisping, etc.

1) McGregor isn't British

2) You American lot are waaay fucking worse.. Colby, Cody Garbrandt, Chael, Johnny walker, Sage, Derrick Lewis. Tony Ferguson, Tito Ortiz.. I could go on all night.. So it's a bit "pot, kettle, black"

3) Britain has had Bisping and Till.. Nobody in the UK is really expecting Paddy to win championships at all, he's a decent fighter and a good interviewee... That's it, no hype at all other than he gets interviews because he isn't a wooden little cringe fest like most elite fighters
 
He's a brash and talkative fighter who's also a finisher.

I don't think he's ever going to be ranked or even really close to it, but he's fun to watch.
 
Name and look. Like a nerdy non-fighter. Someone who should be 0-10 if you look at him, but can scrap, so works.
 
Daft hair, stupid voice, doesn't look like a fighter, utter gobshite. Where you been dude? That's the standard key to success nowadays!

Of course I know that. "Paddy" is a nickname, short for Patrick. Why do you think I mentioned his actual name being Patrick????? Funny but my father is 100% Irish and oldest of 13. I have no aunts or uncles named Patrick. My mom's name was Patricia though.
 
Because he is completely different from what we are used to
He has a completely unique and unorthodox style and ground game,
so much so that it's almost impossible
to find a partner so that you can
simulate it in training .
And a 16-3-0 per-rec isn't that bad at all !
And he rockin the Sacu shorts !
WAR PADDY PIMBLETT
