Streaking lightweight contender, Paddy Pimblett has hit out at former interim champion, Dustin Poirier after he unsuccessfully pursued a fight with the veteran — claiming the former is right to turn down the pairing, suggesting he would likely make short work of him.
Pimblett, the current number twelve ranked lightweight contender, earned himself the number fifteen rank at 155lbs with a summer submission win over veteran striker, King Green at UFC 304 — however, has yet to book his return to action in the time since.
And linked heavily in recent weeks in an imminent comeback clash at UFC 314 in April — former Cage Warriors featherweight titleholder, Pimblett has been mentioned in circles regarding a potential fight with ex-title challenger, Michael Chandler.
