Moicano Mania: Why This Fight Gets Paddy Pimblett Pumped
In a recent YouTube video, Paddy Pimblett responded to the post-UFC 300 buzz with his usual flair and candidness. "As you know, UFC 300, everybody wants a slice of ‘The Baddy,'" he declared, addressing the callouts from Bobby Green and Renato Moicano.
Pimblett didn't hold back his thoughts on Green: "Bobby Green screamed my name on the mic after it. Didn’t surprise me, know what I mean? He might be ranked, but he’s got no followers, and he needs me."
However, it's Moicano who seems to spark more interest for Paddy. The Liverpool native described Moicano not just as a potential opponent but as a character fit for a bigger script. "I’d rather fight my boy, Moicano. Where you at, Renato? I don’t even dislike Renato Moicano. I actually like him. He’s a funny guy. He’s a cool dude."
Pimblett was enthused about the potential entertainment their matchup could bring. "So me and him having a fight would be hilarious. The buildup to that fight would be very, very funny." Pimblett even floated the idea of taking their banter to the next level with a reality show stint.
"I think it’d be even funnier if me and him done a season of The Ultimate Fighter. That’d be six, seven, eight weeks of pure comedy for the fans." With a twinkle in his eye, Pimblett laid out his ambitions clearly, aiming high within the UFC's competitive hierarchy. "And I’d rather go right in at rank 10 rather than beating rank 15."
But regardless of his preference for Moicano, Pimblett is pragmatic about his next steps: "But, next for me is someone, obviously, hopefully, it’s someone in the top 15. I don’t want to fight down. I want to be trying to fight up, I want to try and get ranked."
