We take a look at why UFC star Paddy Pimblett is banned from Twitter
Paddy Pimblett has earned the reputation of being overly candid and forthright, particularly when he expresses his opinions on various social media platforms. This has gotten him into trouble in the past on multiple occasions, and as a result, his account has been deleted on a few different occasions. When Pimblett encounters instances of cyberbullying or harsh commentary, he becomes incredibly frustrated. Because he stood up to the bullies and was open and honest about the situation, his account has been suspended more than once.
Paddy Pimblett, a star in the lightweight division of the UFC, has a sizeable following on social media, including millions of followers on Instagram; however, his Twitter account is suspended. Pimblett’s Instagram account is still active and boasts 2.3 million followers, despite the fact that he has been forced to close two other Instagram accounts.
Speaking in a recent episode of The Pub Talks, Pimblett stated:
“I’ve had two accounts disabled on Instagram for ‘bullying and harassment’ when it’s me who gets bullied and harassed. I just give it back. I’ve had two accounts, one with 187,000 followers got disabled. And my second account, it had nearly 900,000 followers and got disabled,” continued Pimblett. “I just can’t say nothing back. I have to be smarter with it.”
Pimblett added:
“I’m also banned on Twitter,” Pimblett .Just calling people stupid, fat idiots and stuff. You know what I mean? They give me grief and I’ve said something back. Because I’m in the public eye, people report my stuff and my account gets shut down.When I open Twitter, ‘your account is permanently suspended.’ It just comes up stating that, so I can’t like or comment to no one.”
Paddy Pimblett believes Jake Paul’s boxing fights are rigged
Paddy Pimblett is all set to make his mark on the grand stage of a PPV card at UFC 282. Pimblett will share the co-main event duties with Jared Gordon and will be keen on making a mark on US soil with a statement-making performance.
Pimblett’s conclusion comes from a video that surfaced on the internet from an angle that shows that Paul barely landed the punch that dropped Silva in the final round. While ‘Baddy’ believes that Paul’s KO victory over Tyron Woodley in their rematch was legitimate, he still isn’t convinced about the authenticity of the new age of boxing fights.
“I give Jake Paul his due now he’s training that much he probably could beat some professional boxers,. Because he’s got that much money, he’s got unlimited funds and he hasn’t got to do anything else, he hasn’t got to go and do a job all he’s got to do is box. He gets the best coaches in, the best nutritionists in and stuff like that, Jake Paul is actually not that bad now, even though I think his fights are fixed. I don’t think the Tyron Woodley knockout was fixed.”
Furthermore, he added:
“When you get knocked out like that and you land face first, if you’re not unconscious you’d go out, you can’t help it that’s a human reaction. I seen an angle of a punch he hit Anderson Silva with the other day where he sat down and he didn’t even hit him.”
