Paddy Pimblett vs Conor McGregor

The English-born Paddy Pimblett is looking to have a showdown against MMA megastar Conor McGregor. Paddy ‘The Baddy’ is a currently top fifteen ranked lightweight while ‘The Notorious’ is a former two-division UFC champion but has been inactive for the past few years.

Paddy Pimblett vs. Conor McGregor

‘The Notorious’ Conor McGregor is one of the most popular figures in UFC history. With stunning knockouts, he captured the featherweight and lightweight titles then had a blockbuster boxing match against all-time great Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Since his loss to Khabib Nurmagomedov in 2018, Ireland’s Conor McGregor has put together a 1-2 record in MMA overall. His most recent matches were back-to-back TKO losses to Dustin Poirier in 2021. ‘The Notorious’ has kept busy with acting, BKFC, court cases, and other distractions.

Liverpool’s Paddy Pimblett was a champion in Cage Warriors before transitioning to the UFC. He has become a popular figure largely due to his demeanor. Currently, he is unbeaten in the UFC with six bouts. Most recently, he submitted King Green in the first round to earn a top 15 ranking.

In a recent interview, Paddy Pimblett believes that a matchup against Conor McGregor would be the biggest fight in history. He explained:

“It would be around the world. It would be unbelievable. It got mentioned to me like eight years ago or something when I won the Cage Warriors featherweight belt. Anyone that would say no to fighting McGregor is just an idiot because you’re never getting a payday like it.

“I’d fight McGregor tomorrow, obviously for the city it would be unbelievable. Me, the biggest star in Liverpool MMA fighting the biggest star in the world when it comes to MMA. I’d take that fight in a heartbeat, I’d love that fight. McGregor is a legend. What he’s done in the sport, it’s unprecedented, especially in the short space of time he did it in. But I back myself against anyone.

“I hope so. I hope I can convince him to go outdoors at Anfield. He needs to come to a footy match to see what the atmosphere is like because I think he thinks it takes away from the atmosphere [going outdoors] But at Anfield it doesn’t, mate, when you’ve got 60,000 scousers in there, it won’t.”

Frustrated Conor McGregor Blasts Ex-Teammate Artem Lobov After $500K Betting Loss

Conor McGregor Artem Lobov

Conor McGregor was fuming Saturday night after losing big on some bets he placed on UFC 308. He even posted to X (formerly known as Twitter) and called his ex-teammate Artem Lobov a retard!

Sports betting has always been a very fickle endeavor, and MMA betting is even more unpredictable due to the sport’s wild nature. McGregor has been developing his “Drake” persona and throwing down big stacks on bad bets, and as expected, it’s not going very well.

In his latest exploit, he threw down a crackhead’s dream of a parlay and bet that Robert Whittaker and Max Holloway would win via knockout. It did not hit…

Conor McGregor loses $500k on a wild parlay, calls his ex-Teammate a retard

In a now-deleted tweet, McGregor flashed the ticket for his bet on X and marveled that $500k could be turned into over $17 million!

319d4 17299857425651 1920

Of course, the odds of this bet are in the territory where the bet itself is considered a “lotto”. This means it’s so unlikely that the bet hits (according to the odds) that you might as well spend $500k on lottery tickets instead. The bet flopped big time, and not even a single leg of the parlay hit.

Conor McGregor was enraged, and for some reason, this led to him hopping back on X and spewing hatred at his old ex-teammate, labeling the man a retard.

The hatred towards Lobov possibly stems from a lawsuit that the Russian launched against McGregor some time ago. Still, it is unclear why losing the bet made Conor McGregor lash out at his former training partner. Maybe the two made amends, and Lobov suggested the bet to McGregor? Or, McGregor might have just been in a foul mood after losing $500k, and in an alcohol and drug-induced rage, could’ve been lashing out at anyone and anybody that came to mind.

What do you think about that wild parlay McGregor threw away $500k on?

Ilia Topuria Issues Chilling Warning to Conor McGregor: ‘Don’t Cross Paths with Me’

Ilia Topuria Issues Chilling Warning to Conor McGregor

El Matador’ Ilia Topuria knocked out Max Holloway at UFC 308, and former two-division champion Conor McGregor called for a fight against the Georgian-Spanish athlete. The featherweight king responded, not sounding too pleased with the Irish fighter.

Ilia Topuria Responds to Conor McGregor

The Georgian-Spanish athlete Ilia Topuria has had a highly impressive 2024 earning knockout victories against the pound-for-pound ranked Alexander Volkanovski and most recently Max Holloway. ‘The Notorious’ Conor McGregor is a former two-division UFC champion holding titles in both the featherweight and lightweight weight classes. Despite his inactivity in the past few years, he remains one of the biggest stars in the sport.

After the UFC 308 main event, hosted in Abu Dhabi, in which Topuria defended his throne with a knockout against ‘Blessed’ Holloway, McGregor took to X and called for a fight in a now-deleted Tweet. He said: “Call me,” then added, “Few [featherweights] in the mix and I beat every single one of them. I am that division’s menace. Point blank. Everyone on that list I hurt badly and finish. Not one of them lay a glove on King Mac.”

In response to McGregor, ‘El Matador’ said:

“I don’t know what to say… He fakes the comeback every time, he insults everyone in the UFC… Bro, you’re f**king sick. You have some problems to fix in your mind, you know. You need to take some class on respect, how to treat other people because you’re gonna end up really, really bad. When you follow these kinds of values in your life, you’re gonna end up really bad. So, honest to God, don’t cross paths with me never ever because I’m gonna f**k you up whenever I’m gonna see you.”

Ilia Topuria has looked to go up in weight and compete in the lightweight division now that he has had his first title defense completed. However, McGregor has struggled to get back in the cage over the past several years. For now, Topuria and McGregor will likely only trade verbally.
