Molly McCann Shares Reaction to Paddy Pimblett Tying the Knot

After his wedding, Paddy Pimblett has been inundated with messages of support. Since entering the Octagon, the 28-year-old from Huyton, known as the Baddy, has established himself as one of the UFC’s greatest stars and remains unbeaten. The fighter’s larger-than-life personality has made him popular among non-sports admirers, who have sent him congratulations after he married his long-term partner Laura Gregory.

Sunday’s ceremony was also attended by Molly McCann and Jamie Webster, two close companions of the fighter. Molly posted a clip of the honeymooners walking down the aisle on Instagram.

McCann wrote:

“Finally got their happy ever after. Congrats Patrick & Laura the wedding was out of this world! So much love for both families. Brilliant day with brilliant people. And the toffees stayed up.”

In December, Paddy suffered an injury during his victory over Jared Gordon. Fans eagerly await the fighter’s return to the Octagon, as he is presently on the road to recovery after ankle surgery.

In December, Pimblett and Gordon went to a close decision, but after the fact, Pimblett claimed that he had easily won the fight. No. 14 ranked Dober has called for a bout with his No. 1 opponent, but he knows it’s unlikely to happen because of his opponent’s UFC protection.

Dober claims that the prospect of fighting Pimblett, a former Cage Warriors champion, at London’s O2 venue is more appealing to him than the challenge of facing a fellow Londoner. The American wants to face a fan favourite in their home nation to get a feel for the top crowds throughout the world.

After a long absence from the UFC, Matt Frevola is back and ready to dish out some “humble pie” to Paddy Pimblett. Speaking to Mirror Fighting, Dober stated:

“Paddy’s name is great, it’s fun. I feel like he’s the Jake Paul of the UFC right now. He’s bringing in a lot of attention. But really, the opportunity that excites me the most is not his name. It’s that O2 Arena in London. Fighting in front of the English crowd would be so much fun.”

“He has a lot of growing up to do. I made those mistakes in my early 20s as well, inside the octagon and outside the octagon. I think he’s going to mature well as long as he listens to good advice, but he definitely needs some time. So I feel like this injury works out better for him. Just as long as he trains and improves in the areas he needs to improve, and then he just keeps that social status, I think he’s gonna be a Conor McGregor-ish.”
