With his rising popularity, Paddy Pimblett expects many more fighters to speak his name in an attempt to bolster their own budding careers inside the Octagon.
With a perfect 3-0 record under the UFC banner, all finishes, Paddy Pimblett is becoming one of the most talked about figures in mixed martial arts. In his most recent outing at UFC London, ‘The Baddy’ scored another highlight reel finish, submitting Jordan Leavitt in the second round after overcoming some early adversity in the first five minutes.
Two weeks removed from UFC London, Terrance McKinney put himself back into the win column with a first-round rear-naked choke submission of Erick Gonzalez at UFC Vegas 59. Following the spectacular win, ‘T-Wrecks’ called out Pimblet saying, “Paddy the Baddy, where you at?” ‘The Baddy’ had an opportunity to respond to the call out while backstage at Saturday’s UFC San Diego event.
“Everyone wants to fight me,” Pimblett said while speaking to the media at UFC San Diego. “He’s got less than 100,000 followers and I’m at 1.8 million or something. That’s why they want to fight me. But also, I’m not a very scary dude.
“I don’t look that intimidating. People think ‘I can beat him,’ but when you get in the cage with me and you’ve got to solve the puzzle, you can’t.”
Paddy Pimblett confirmed that McKinney and himself have crossed paths before and have acknowledged the two would likely compete inside the Octagon one day, but squaring off now may be premature.
“Me and Terrance have actually spoke,” said Pimblett. “In the past, we spoke on Twitter and we actually said we would probably fight in a few years down the line, when it’s a main event on a proper big card.
“But he’s obviously seen how I blew up and he wants to jump the queue and jump the bandwagon now. I don’t mind. I’ll fight anyone. We’ll see what happens over the coming weeks with a few lightweight results and we’ll see what happens.”
Paddy Pimblett’s work inside the Octagon has earned the Liverpudlian millions of fans around the world, but interestingly, his antics, specifically with food consumption, have earned him a significant amount of popularity. ‘The Baddy’ is known for going on epic food binges immediately following each outing. Often toting food with him at each post-fight press conference, Pimblet often tips the scales at “about 200 [pounds],” a whopping 44 pounds over the lightweight limit that he fights at.
Many fans within the MMA community have questioned how long the scouser can put that kind of strain on his body. Pimblett addressed this himself saying that eventually, it would have to come to an end, but for now, he is just enjoying himself.
“When I’m a bit older and once I start fighting ranked opponents, I will keep my weight down,” Pimblett said. “But for now, I enjoy putting a little bit of chub rub on.”
When discussing his potential return to the Octagon, Paddy Pimblett confirmed he won’t be joining his partner in crime Molly McCann when she steps back into the cage at Madison Square Garden for UFC 281, but plans to fight the following month at UFC 282 which is expected to take place in Las Vegas.
“I think I’m going to fight in Vegas,” Pimblett said. “That’s what I’m hoping. I’ve seen that card getting slated for Dec. 10.”

Ahead of his upcoming Octagon return at UFC Vegas 59 next weekend, highly-touted lightweight finisher, Terrance McKinney plans to send opponent, Erick Gonzalez back to past home, Combate Global – as well as expose the skill level difference between the two.
McKinney, a native of Spokane, made a massive impact in his UFC bow back in June of last year at UFC 263, rushing through Matt Frevola with a stunning first round knockout win in just 7 seconds.
Making his second Octagon walk at the UFC Apex facility, McKinney turned in another hugely impressive victory, this time taking out Fares Ziam in the first round – displaying his grappling chops with a rear-naked choke win.
Replacing Ricky Glenn on just over a week’s notice, McKinney clashed with veteran promotional staple, Drew Dober, rocking and dropping the Colorado native in the first round before suffering a late round TKO loss of his own.
Set to feature on the preliminary card of the UFC’s return to its Apex facility next weekend, McKinney admitted that he was unsure of his opponent, the aforenoted, Gonzalez before the pair’s booking, but insists he will now send the Redondo Beach native back to the Cambell McLaren-led, Combate Global.
“I actually never heard of him (Erick Gonzalez) – but not disrespectfully,” Terrance McKinney told LowKick MMA reporter, Alex Behunin. “(He’s) not someone I was watching– I’m trying to be like the guys at the higher level, so I’m tryna watch the guys at the higher level.”
“But I did study him now, and I seen (sic) he had some good runs in Combate America (Global), but like I said, we’re going to see the difference in skill level. Jim Miller already showed it. And we’re about to show it again. It’s time to send this boy back to Combate Americas.”
Following a pair of quickfire finishes to kick-off his Octagon tenure, Terrance McKinney admitted that he would like to develop his skillset over the course of two rounds, before landing an eventual finish against Gonzalez.
“I wanna win in the second (round) towards the end, either by knockout or submission,” Terrance McKinney explained. “Whatever I see fit, available. But I feel like we’re better in every aspect of fighting. I think he’s just wild and unpredictable, that’s what makes him dangerous. My accuracy is better, my speeds better, my powers better. And I know I can out-wrestle him or out-grapple him if I need to. … I’m trying to be like Charles Oliveira out there.”
