Enjoying an impressive return to action this year with his eighth straight victory against King Green, Paddy Pimblett has welcomed the chance to take on former interim welterweight champion, Colby Covington at 170lbs next year — as well as former duel-weight champion, Conor McGregor.
Pimblett, who currently holds the number fourteen rank in the lightweight pile, has been sidelined since he turned in a dominant opening round triangle armbar submission win over the above-mentioned, Green at UFC 304 back in July in Manchester.
And plotting a potential return to action before the end of the year, Pimblett revealed that it was likely too late in the annum for him to cut to the lightweight limit, however, admitted he has plans to potentially face either Covington or long-rumored foe, McGregor as soon as next year.
