Paddy Pimblett names current UFC champion he would obviously beat up and reveals what Marvel film helped with late UFC Manchester schedule [Video]

Paddy Pimblett is confident he would dethrone Islam Makhachev of his UFC lightweight title.

Pimblett is the No.14 ranked lightweight but believes he would beat the current King of his division in a bout.

‘The Baddy’ last fought for Dana White’s promotion in July at UFC 304, which was the first sporting event to take place in Manchester’s Co-Op Live arena.

It was here where Pimblett beat Bobby Green via first-round submission to extend his undefeated UFC record to six consecutive bouts.

But there was one important film released during his fight week that helped him get used to unusual late nights.

The Liverpool man has at least two or three more fights to go before he is awarded a UFC title shot, but remains confident he would beat the current champ.

“People always say do you think you’d beat Islam Makhachev and I’m like: ‘Obviously’,” Pimblett said on the StillTalkingShow.
