“When he deserve, Why not?’ These were the words uttered by Islam Makhachev when talking about Paddy Pimblett’s rise to the Top 15. The charismatic UFC lightweight with golden hair and a bowl cut, who recently won a quick victory over King Green, has responded to recent comments from the reigning champion.
In a recent interview, Makhachev opened the door for Pimblett by stating that he would be open to giving him a title shot after a couple of good wins. Pimblett didn’t let the opportunity pass without a response. He fired back with enthusiasm on his YouTube channel.
“Did you see that where Isalm was talking about me the other day? He said ,’He’s an exciting fighter,’ and that ‘if he keeps winning, you never know, he could fight for the belt,’ and that. You know Islam, we’re coming. We’re coming, brother, we’re coming,” said Pimblett.
Islam Makahcahev, however, acknowledged the tough competition in the lightweight division, emphasizing that it’s not an easy climb. But ‘The Baddy‘ seems determined. After all, he still remains undefeated in the UFC.
This exchange underscores the growing rivalry and respect between the two fighters. Pimblett’s reaction wasn’t just about acknowledging Makhachev’s comments; it was a clear statement of his intent to chase down the champion’s belt. His upbeat and determined response reflects his confidence and ambition.
