Paddy Pimblett is dreaming big ahead of his UFC debut.

The former Cage Warriors featherweight champion is due to make his first appearance for the promotion on September 4 when he takes on Brazilian lightweight, Luigi Vendramini.

During a recent interview with Submission Radio, Pimblett, who hails from Liverpool in England, revealed who he’d like to face at Anfield – the home of Liverpool Football Club.

I’ll be honest, it’s the one who tarnished his own legacy (Conor McGregor),” Pimblett said. “An Irishman versus a Scouser. I feel like that would be fucken rowdy. That would be next level. It would be ridiculous, to be honest.”

“He’s [Conor McGregor] a money type of guy. And fighting an Anfield in front of like 60-70,000 people is where the money’s at,” Pimblett added. “So, that’s why I could see that happening. But anyone. It doesn’t matter. Like, I’m going to be that big of a star that you could fucking put me in there against a hobo and I’d fill it out.”

‘The Baddy’ is confident he would easily dispatch of McGregor should they ever fight.

“I still say to this day, lad, get me in there with Conor McGregor and I’ll submit him in two or three rounds,” Pimblett said.

Pimblett rates McGregor highly but believes the former dual-weight UFC champion has somewhat destroyed his legacy by returning to the sport after long periods of inactivity.

“If he wouldn’t have ever come back. If he would have retired after beating Eddie Alvarez you could probably have him in your top 10, you know what I mean? You probably could,” Pimblett said. “But I don’t know where it happens now. Like, top 15, top 20, maybe? He’s half tarnished it.”

Former Cage Warriors featherweight champion Paddy Pimblett is expecting to join the UFC in the near future and is already eyeing up a fight with Jared Gordon for his promotional debut.

‘The Baddy’ returns to the cage on March 20 after a full year away from the sport.

Pimblett will take on Italian lightweight fighter Davide Martinez (8-2) at CW122 in London, England.

The 26-year-old told LowKickMMA that he expects to join the UFC after beating Martinez next month.  

“To be honest I think after this fight I’m off,” Pimblett said.

Pimblett has twice been offered the chance to join the UFC but turned them down. ‘The Baddy’ assures he won’t be saying no for a third time.

“The first time when they offered me (a UFC contract) I was only a kid and Cage Warriors had just offered me the best deal for a UK MMA fighter ever, so I took it,” Pimblett said.

“The second time I had hand surgery and a title fight in the (Liverpool) Echo Arena, so I never took it,” Pimblett added. “But, this time I know for a fact. Win this fight and get a nice finish then they’ll be wanting to sign me and then I’m off. Fight Island here we come.”

‘The Baddy’ is hoping he’ll be able to exact revenge in his UFC debut.

“There’s one,” Pimblett said when asked if he had any potential opponents in mind for his UFC debut. “It’s just because he beat Fishy (Chris Fishgold) you know what I mean? Jared Gordon. I’d love to fight Jared Gordon. That would be a lovely debut for me. As that is someone who I think I would knock out, to be honest”
