Paddy Pimblett is coming for Islam Makhachev.
‘The Baddy’ broke into the lightweight top 15 with his first-round submission victory over King Green at UFC 304 in Manchester. That has officially put him on Makhachev’s radar as the reigning 155-pound titleholder.
While in Abu Dhabi to attend the UFC’s latest offering at Etihad Arena, the ‘Dagestani Destroyer’ was asked about a future meeting with the Liverpudlian.
“When he [Pimblett] deserves, why not,” Makhachev said.
