Paddy Pimblett and Conor McGregor
Paddy Pimblett had a well-wisher in Conor McGregor ahead of his UFC debut next weekend
Paddy Pimblett will be looking forward to starting off with a bang when he takes on Luigi Vendramini on the 4th of September at UFC Fight Night: Brunson vs Till, which is set to take place at the UFC Apex.
The former Cage Warriors fighter represents Liverpool, England just like Darren Till who will be headlining the event.
Ahead of his fight, UFC lightweight Conor McGregor wished Pimblett the best of luck for his fight, before bringing up the time he attended the Grand National in Liverpool, back in 2017.
He also took a shot at Michael Bisping referring to a scuffle that took place between ‘The Count’ and a stranger.
McGregor’s Tweet read:
“Good luck paddy i was outside your gaf all hours with your man with long hair out that way that doing 30 year now forget his name hahahaha knock knoc who’s there not mike hahahaah it’s Brews not bevvies with them meatball.”
It is worth noting that both Pimblett and McGregor conquered Cage Warriors’ featherweight division before moving to the UFC. ‘The Baddy’ will be looking forward to emulating McGregor’s success in the UFC as well.
Pimblett then thanked McGregor for his message before going to express his desire to takeover the UFC’s lightweight division, just like the Irishman did a few years back.
The Liverpudlian wrote:
“Thank you Conor I’m coming to take over the UFC just like u did. I know who U mean he told me about that in Glasto. I wish yous were at the right house as I was on the party scene then myself & I wudda came out an we wudda had a scream. I’ll meet u soon tho big man 100%.”
Pimblett’s fight against Vendramini will be kicking off the main card of UFC Fight Night: Brunson vs Till.
