Ask and ye shall receive ⊠at least if you happen to be Paddy âThe Baddyâ Pimblett, one of the UFCâs biggest stars these days.
Pimblett showed up to the UFC London post-fight press conference back in March and called his shot, asking UFC CEO Dana White to book him for International Fight Week. White reacted favorably to the request, and now weâre learning that the promotion has gone ahead and booked Paddy for UFC 329 on July 11th in Las Vegas.
âIâve just started [my camp] really because Iâm going to be fighting in like twelve weeks or something, Iâm just starting me diet now,â Pimblett said on the Wayne Rooney Show. â11th of July itâs going to be. Itâll be the first time Iâm fighting while a World Cupâs on.â
The World Cup runs from June 11th to July 19th, with the quarterfinals ending on UFC 329 fight day. So while Paddy will be preoccupied for a big chunk of the tournament, the Scouser will get to enjoy the semis and the finals following his big International Fight Day match.
Thereâs no word thus far on who Pimblett could fight. There were rumors that perhaps Paddy could face off against Conor McGregor, which would be absolute madness. That assumes the UFC manages to get a deal with McGregor across the finish line, and assumes theyâd put the two stars against each other. It makes a lot of sense. Paddyâs the new rising star, yet McGregor would still have a chance to win.
Paddy Pimblett's next fight is scheduled for July 11 at UFC 329.
