Paddy Pimblett has taken shots at Bobby Green ahead of their fight at UFC 304 in Manchester, England.
After Green beat Jim Miller at UFC 300, he called out Pimblett, and the fight was made for UFC 304 on July 27. It’s a step up in competition for the Brit but he has confidence he will beat Green as he doesn’t the American has a chin anymore.
“He’s a proper tool, lad,” Paddy Pimblett told The Mac Life,. “He’s a proper weapon. The funniest one is he says he mentioned me. I didn’t mention you. You mentioned me first. So then I mentioned you, ya little sausage. Everyone talks about me so it’s all the same. He’s just a proper tool, lad. I think he’s a proper s—t human being. He’s just a proper wanker, lad. He’s saying that I mentioned him first, lad. He’s just lying. Why would I mention you? Why would I mention Bobby Green, lad?”
“He’s got very good striking,” Paddy Pimblett said. “He’s got good hands, but his chin’s gone after what happened with Jalin Turner. Jim Miller’s no knockout artist and he wobbled him once or twice in that fight on UFC 300. I think that is off Jalin Turner absolutely obliterating Bobby Green’s skull into the canvas.
“His striking’s very good, his takedown defense is very good and that’s what he’s gonna try and do. He’s gonna try and use his takedown defense to keep it on the feet ‘cause he thinks he’ll outstrike me. As I say, his chin’s gone so strike with me, we’ll see what happens. I can see me knocking him out. I can see me submitting him,” Pimblett concluded.
Although Pimblett thinks Green’s chin is gone, the American has only been knocked out five times in his career, but his last three losses have all come by TKO/KO.
Even though Pimblett doesn’t think Green has a chin anymore, the Brit is the betting underdog at UFC 304.
Pimblett opened as a +210 underdog, while Green was a -250 favorite. At the opening odds, oddsmakers implied Pimblett has a 32.3% chance of winning the fight at UFC 304.
If Pimblett can KO Green at UFC 304 it would be a statement-making win for him, and it would put him in the rankings.

Calling his shot for a clash with polarizing grappling talent, Paddy Pimblett on enemy territory in Manchester, perennial lightweight challenger, Bobby Green is slated to meet the Liverpool star at UFC 304 on July 27. from the Co-op Live arena this summer.
Green, the current number fifteen ranked division contender, featured at UFC 300 back in April, landing a one-sided victory over veteran fan-favorite, Jim Miller over the course of three rounds in a bloody affair.
As for Pimblett, the former undisputed Cage Warriors featherweight champion has been sidelined since last December, where he took home his own dominant unanimous decision win over common-foe, former interim champion, Tony Ferguson on the main card of UFC 296.
UFC CEO, Dana White confirmed the pairing of Bobby Green and Paddy Pimblett at UFC 304 this summer in the promotion’s return to Manchester.
Prior to his victory over surefire Hall of Fame star, Miller, San Bernardino native, Bobby Green had dropped a hellacious KO defeat to Jalin Turner last year, which snapped an impressive two-fight winning spree.

Dan Hooker is down for a BMF title fight, so long as he gets to go through Bobby Green first.
With back-to-back wins over Claudio Puelles and Jalin Turner in his last two outings, ‘The Hangman’ is looking to make a summertime return against a big name in the lightweight division.
Speaking with Hyon Ko of The Allstar, Hooker spoke about a potential clash with Beneil Dariush, but if he gets his wish, the UFC will rebook his previously scheduled scrap with 155-pound standout ‘King’ Bobby Green.
Furthermore, Hooker believes that such an electrifying fight could serve as a potential BMF title eliminator.
“You need a BMF [title] eliminator. That’s why I was originally calling for the [Bobby] Green fight,” Hooker said. “That’s originally what it was to the fans. I suggested that like it was a BMF eliminator and there weren’t any fans who had any counterarguments to that. Me and Green would be a heck of a fight. I owe it to the fans and I would love to step in and compete against him and line myself up for the BMF belt.
“After his performance against Jim Miller at UFC 300, Bobby Green’s stock is right back to where it deserves to be and if nothing comes together for International Fight Week, Green’s got two arms and two legs, brother, so he fits the bill, but I’d love to bring him down to Perth and do that one at home. That’ll be cool.”
The BMF title currently resides with Max Holloway after ‘Blessed’ delivered the highlight of the night at UFC 300, dispatching Justin Gaethje with an epic buzzer-beating knockout. Following the win, Holloway’s stock rose massively, making him a viable contender in two different divisions.
Asked about his thoughts on Holloway’s last-second KO, Dan Hooker admitted to being blown away by the moment. He also took a dig at Ilia Topuria’s recent BMF title demands, saying:
“Absolutely wild. That’s the danger of the sport. For Max to have it in the bag and put it all on the line, that’s BMF sh*t, you know what I mean? If there’s a ‘but’ in your statement, you’ve immediately disqualified yourself from the BMF conversation. It’s gone over your head if you have to say, ‘I’ll fight him, but…’ If there’s any ifs, buts, or maybes, you’ve disqualified yourself.”
