Dana White Likens Paddy Pimblett to Conor McGregor: “He reminds me of Conor”

UFC CEO Dana White has explained why Paddy Pimblett reminds him of a young Conor McGregor.

Since entering the Ultimate Fighting Championship, Paddy Pimblett has made a lot of noise. From his personality to his fight style to his walkouts, he knows how to get people riled up. Now, following his win over King Green at UFC 304, he’s more popular than ever.

He’s been able to do what few thought he could by entering the top 15 rankings at lightweight. At this point, his aim is to continue proving people wrong – which will be tough in a division as stacked as 155 pounds.
