The UFC doesn’t wish to threat placing Paddy Pimblett towards Renato Moicano. At the very least, that’s what Moicano thinks.
To date, Pimblett has not booked a combat for 2025, however current rumors counsel that ‘The Baddy’ might be paired up with Saint-Denis — the man Moicano completely pummeled for 10 minutes in Paris.
“If they end up doing Paddy Pimblett versus Benoit Saint-Denis, it will be pretty clear why they didn’t put me against Paddy Pimblett, right? Because possibly I beat Benoit Saint-Denis 10-7 in the first round,” Moicano stated throughout an appearnace on The Ariel Helwani Present. “I just p**sed his ass. That’s the truth. And then they’re gonna put him against Paddy? What does that mean? That means they know I will destroy Paddy Pimblett.”
Pimblett likes the sound of a scrap with Renato Moicano
With Pimblett’s greatest bud Molly McCann already being introduced for a combat on March 22 when the UFC heads again to London, there’s a strong probability that the Liverpudlian may even seem on the extremely anticipated card.
It’s unlikely that Moicano would make the fast eight-week turnaround to fulfill Pimblett in ‘The Big Smoke,’ however given their shut proximity within the light-weight rankings, a scrap is one ‘The Baddy’ will surely welcome.
“He’s ranked [10] or something like that [in the UFC lightweight rankings],” Pimblett instructed OLBG. “He’s a good opponent, he’s mentioned me, I’ve mentioned him. There’s only a few ranks between us. He’s ranked [10] and I’m [13]. So, yeah, let’s see.”
