Paddy “The Baddy” Pimblett has been the recipient of a lot of criticism lately from fans and peers alike. But he had an answer that silenced all his critics at UFC 304. The Liverpool native faced his toughest test to date in veteran Bobby Green and took him out in just one round.
Many wondered if Pimblett was ready for such a step up in competition. Those doubts were emphatically answered in less than one round of action. Pimblett didn’t just win; he dominated in spectacular fashion. The fight started cautiously, with both men feeling each other out at range.
Pimblett’s kicking game seemed to frustrate Green early on. Apparently, in a moment of impatience, Green shot for a takedown that would prove to be his undoing. He took advantage of this, showcasing his Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt skills. He immediately threatened with a guillotine choke. Green, a seasoned grappler himself, likely thought he could escape.
But “The Baddy” had other plans as he smoothly transitioned to a triangle choke. What followed was a masterclass in submission grappling. Pimblett adjusted and tightened the hold as Green desperately tried to escape. The end came swiftly, with Green losing consciousness before he could tap out. It was a flawless victory that left the Manchester crowd in awe. Pimblett‘s post-fight celebration was as entertaining as his performance.
