Amid links to a big-name fight in his return to action next year, promotional perfect contender, Paddy Pimblett claims he fancies his chances of defeating former interim lightweight champion, Dustin Poirier in a future clash — believing he would even submit the UFC star.
Pimblett, who currently boasts the number thirteen rank in the official lightweight pile, has been sidelined since recording his sixth Octagon win back in July, featuring at UFC 304 in a dominant opening round triangle win over common-foe, King Green.
As for Poirier, the Lafayette native confirmed earlier this month how he plans to fight just once more in the UFC, before hanging up his storied gloves from combat sports competition.
