It appears Paddy Pimblett and Sean O’Malley have squashed their beef.

The UFC prospects had previously exchanged shots through various media platforms but now appear to be firm friends after playing a game on Twitch together.

During a recent Q&A session, Pimblett was asked about his opinion on O’Malley and gave a surprisingly nice appraisal of the #12 ranked bantamweight.

“Don’t mind [Sean] O’Malley. Like watching him fight,” Pimblett said. “He’s an entertaining fighter and he’s entertaining on the mic. We were just talking to him on Twitch before, it was quite funny to be honest.”

‘Suga’ thanked ‘The Baddy’ for joining him on a raid and expressed his belief that the two were now buds while trying to imitate Pimblett’s accent.

“Oh shit! Paddy the Baddy f***ing hosted me,” O’Malley said. “Paddy I feel like we’re buds. So we’re like not buds but we’re buds, you know what I mean. Appreciate the raid dude. Congrats on all your f***ing success. And can wait to watch your next fight. Paddy, thank you lad. F***ing thank you. F***ing thank you. Appreciate you with the raid. F***ing brilliant.” (Transcribed by Sportskeeda)

Paddy Pimblett Lays Into UFC Hall of Famer

The Englishman may have just settled one issue but another has quickly popped up.

Diego Sanchez clearly isn’t a fan of Pimblett and let him know that by commenting a bunch of clown emojis on a social media post that related to ‘The Baddy’

Pimblett didn’t take the disrespect laying down and instead launched a full-scale attack on Sanchez, he wrote.

“Lad r u really trying to call me a clown?! Go and get brainwashed by the fabia dude again like he’s ur cult leader u dumb mother fucker ur the laughing stock of this whole sport! Ever talk sh*t about me again u fuckin has been I slap ur ass up.”

Chael Sonnen Hits Back At Paddy Pimblett Over ‘Stupid’ Clickbait Claim

Chael Sonnen, Paddy Pimblett

Chael Sonnen has responded to Paddy Pimblett accusing him of clickbait after the recent rumors surrounding a possible Donald Cerrone fight.

Pimblett is coming off an impressive UFC debut over Luigi Vendramini in 2021. After a long tenure with Cage Warriors, he made the move to the UFC as arguably the biggest signing by the promotion in recent years.

Speculation has run rampant in recent weeks and months regarding who Pimblett will face next. Some pundits, including Sonnen, have alluded to a possible matchup with Cerrone happening for his next UFC test.

Pimblett ruled out Cerrone being his next opponent in recent days and also accused Sonnen of pushing a false narrative for his next fight. During a recent video on his YouTube channel, Sonnen took exception to Pimblett’s jab.

“Is Paddy secretly one stupid son of a bi**h?” Sonnen said. “Paddy woke up, took stupid pills, and goes on Michael Bisping’s show. On Michael’s show, Paddy accuses me of using his name for clickbait… I’d never do it and I’m also irritated that Paddy thinks his name is big enough that I would clickbait him. That might sound arrogant but that’s the truth. It pissed me off…

“Three weeks ago, I was sitting with Cerrone. He asked me what weight Paddy is. I had beautiful things to say about him. As I’m having this conversation, Cowboy’s texting Sean Shelby saying does Paddy have an opponent. I asked him, ‘Can I talk about this? He said, ‘Yes.’ So that’s what we did.” (h/t Sportskeeda)

Paddy Pimblett Pointed To Chael Sonnen For Starting The Rumors

Earlier this week during an appearance on Michael Bisping’s Believe You Me podcast, Pimblett blamed Sonnen for allegedly sparking the Cerrone rumors. He also teased that his next Octagon appearance will take place on the upcoming UFC London card.

Sonnen has never been unafraid to state what he thinks on a variety of topics, specifically when it comes to MMA. Regarded as one of the best trash talkers in the sport’s history, Sonnen has transitioned well from fighting to a career in broadcasting.

Pimblett and Sonnen will more than likely bump into each other at some point this year, and it’ll be interesting to see if they bury the hatchet and settle their differences.

Paddy Pimblett On Dustin Poirier: ‘If Oliveira Can Do That To You, I Can’

Paddy Pimblett believes that he could submit Dustin Poirier in a similar fashion to Charles Oliveira.

Since making his debut in the UFC last year, Pimblett has been making all kinds of noise in the MMA space. His knockout of Luigi Vendramini really brought a ton of new eyes on the Liverpool product. What a lot of these new fans do not realize is that “The Baddy” actually has more submission wins than knockout wins.

During his recent appearance on Michael Bisping’s podcast ‘Believe You Me’ Pimblett suggested that he could finish Poirier in the same way that Charles Oliveira did at UFC 269. (H/T bjpenn.com)

“I went with Poirier over Oliveira. And lad, after watching that fight as well, I’m watching that thinking, ‘Lad, if Oliveira can do that to you Dustin, I can.’ It’s mad like, when you watch (it), MMA math doesn’t work, but when you watch fights, you’re just like, ‘Wow, if he can do that and get in that position, then f***ing I can.”

While Pimblett is very confident in his abilities, he also isn’t going to get too far ahead of himself. He has already said that in order for him to fight the top 15 fighters, he will have to get an increase in pay.

He has also been teasing his return to the octagon recently. With the UFC returning to England in the early spring, it seems like the Pimblett train is just getting started.

Before storming onto the scene in the UFC, Pimblett was a star in Cage Warriors over in the UK. He was the featherweight champ and also competed at lightweight toward the end of his time with the promotion.

Chael Sonnen isn’t happy with Paddy Pimblett after the UFC prospect accused him of clickbait surrounding the recent Donald Cerrone fight rumors.

Pimblett dominated his UFC debut in 2021 against Luigi Vendramini, surviving an early barrage to earn a first-round knockout. It was quite the coming-out party for Pimblett, who was arguably the biggest signing by the promotion in the calendar year.

During a recent podcast appearance with Michael Bisping, Pimblett shut down talks of fighting Cerrone next and called out Sonnen for pushing a false narrative. Pimblett is expected to compete on the upcoming UFC London card.

After getting word of Pimblett’s comments, Sonnen didn’t respond with kind intentions in a video on his YouTube channel.

“Is Paddy secretly one stupid son of a bi**h?” Sonnen said. “Paddy woke up, took stupid pills, and goes on Michael Bisping’s show. On Michael’s show, Paddy accuses me of using his name for clickbait.

Paddy Pimblett Downplayed Chael Sonnen’s Claim That He’s Fighting Donald Cerrone Next

Sonnen has never been one to hold back what he thinks. During his career in the UFC, he was known as one of the best promoters in MMA with his brash personality and ability to build up a fight. He has taken these talents into his new career venture in broadcasting.

It’s clear that Pimblett’s comments irked Sonnen, and it’ll be interesting to see if these two can bury the hatchet and move forward into the new year.

Pimblett: If Oliveira Can Do That To Poirier, So Can I

Rising UFC lightweight prospect Paddy Pimblett says Charles Oliveira’s victory over Dustin Poirier at UFC 269 has given him the confidence that he could do the same in a fight against “The Diamond.”

Paddy Pimblett, UFC 269: Oliveira vs. Poirier

Rising UFC lightweight prospect Paddy Pimblett says Charles Oliveira’s victory over Dustin Poirier at UFC 269 has given him the confidence that he could do the same in a fight against “The Diamond.”

Having joined the UFC roster in 2021, Pimblett now has the privilege of having a front-row seat alongside his fellow stars at pay-per-view events. He made full use of that treatment for the final PPV card of last year, headlined by Oliveira’s first title defense.

Having won the vacant belt earlier in the year with a memorable comeback against Michael Chandler, “Do Bronx” was looking to legitimize his place on the lightweight throne and his championship credentials, something the likes of Justin Gaethje and a portion of The UFC fanbase doubted.

He answered their questions in emphatic fashion by locking in a standing rear-naked choke in the third round that forced Poirier to tap out.

Pimblett Fancies His Chances Opposite “The Diamond”

In the eyes of most, the win cemented Oliveira’s place as the best lightweight in the world right now. A victory over Poirier, a heavy favourite heading into the clash and the consensus best 155lber leading into UFC 269, certainly seems worthy of securing that title. However, one future star in the division had a different takeaway from the result.

During a recent appearance on Michael Bisping’s Believe You Me podcast, “The Baddy” suggested Oliveira’s ability to take Poirier’s back and lock in a submission has convinced him he’d be able to find the same success against the former interim titleholder.

“I went with Poirier over Oliveira. And lad, after watching that fight as well, I’m watching that thinking, ‘Lad, if Oliveira can do that to you Dustin, I can.’ It’s mad like, when you watch (it), MMA math doesn’t work, but when you watch fights, you’re just like, ‘Wow, if he can do that and get in that position, then fucking I can.'”

While Pimblett certainly has a long way to go before he joins the same conversations as Poirier, he is highly touted by many. That includes by his fellow Englishman Bisping, who believes he has the confidence and mindset to one day become a champion on MMA’s biggest stage.

After impressing on debut with a first-round knockout against Luigi Vendramini, “The Baddy” will be hoping for similar success in 2022, a year he aims to fight three times in. That looks set to start on March 19, a card targeted to be the promotion’s return to London, England.

UFC lightweight Paddy Pimblett is set to make his return at the upcoming UFC London event, but it won’t be against Donald Cerrone despite recent rumors.

Pimblett passed his first test in the UFC octagon with flying colors by knocking out Luigi Vendramini last September. He was arguably the biggest signing by the UFC in 2021 after a successful run in Cage Warriors.

Pimblett has remained active on social media since his debut, but rumors have swirled regarding his next appearance in the UFC. During a recent interview on the Believe You Me podcast, Pimblett confirmed that he won’t have to travel far for his next fight in the U.K.

“I would like to fight in London, in front of my home crowd,” Pimblett said. “It would be sick. That’s what I’m guessing (will happen) and that’s what I’ve been told, that me and Molly will be fighting on the same card. That’s happening. I’m gonna take someone’s head off again in the O2. I’ll announce myself once again.” (h/t MMA News)

Paddy Pimblett Shut Down The Donald Cerrone Fight Rumors

Rumors of a fight between Pimblett and fan-favorite Cerrone have been running rampant on social media in recent weeks. But, Pimblett confirmed that Cerrone won’t be his next opponent and the promotion is looking at other options.

“It’s going around everywhere, but there’s no truth to it,” Pimblett said. “Nothing on my end. Do you really think that the UFC are gonna put me on a card on the 5th of March in Vegas when they’re doing London on the 19th? It doesn’t make sense. I think that was just Chael having a little go for some clickbait or something. It started with Chael.”

Before signing with the UFC, Pimblett earned the Cage Warriors title and became an instant hit in Europe’s MMA scene. He earned back-to-back wins over Davide Martinez and Decky Dalton before making the move to the UFC.

Many fans believe Pimblett has the potential to be a superstar in the making, and he’ll likely have the chance to prove it in front of his hometown crowd.
