At UFC 304, Paddy Pimblett delivered the best performance of his career by defeating Bobby Green decisively. He put Green to sleep in the first round with a triangle-armbar combination. Many fans believe Pimblett’s standout performance saved the event. Not just fans but the 29-year-old has attracted significant praise from other UFC stars. Recently, Sean O’Malley suggested that ‘The Baddy’ could become the next contender in the lightweight division.
On his YouTube channel’s Timbo Sugar Show podcast, UFC bantamweight champion Sean O’Malley stated that Paddy ‘The Baddy’ Pimblett will soon become a world champion. O’Malley believed Pimblett could be just two wins away from a lightweight title shot. He said,
“He’s 29 so he’s still young, Bobby was ranked #15 and Renato is ranked #10 so you’re looking at two fights… If you beat Renato, you’d probably be ranked higher than #10 at that point, he might be just two fights away from a title shot.”
O’Malley continued, “There’s something about his confidence man, I feel like Paddy stole the show [at UFC 304], Paddy’s the headlines, doing the numbers and stole the show.”
“There’s something about his confidence man, I feel like Paddy stole the show [at UFC 304], Paddy’s the headlines, doing the numbers and stole the show in my opinion.”
After winning the fight against Green, ‘The Baddy’ saw himself in the lightweight ranking. Before the fight, Bobby ranked #15 in the division, and now Pimblett holds the #15 spot. However, King Bobby faced a setback, as he is no longer ranked. He will soon look to reclaim his position. In comparison, Paddy earned huge respect from the entire combat sports community.
