The UFC doesn’t want to risk putting Paddy Pimblett against Renato Moicano. At least, that’s what Moicano thinks.
Following his dominant showing against Benoit Saint-Denis in September ‘Money’ once again called for a clash with Pimblett. Unfortunately, the UFC wasn’t willing to give him what he wanted. Instead, he’ll return to the Octagon on January 18 for a showdown with No. 9 ranked lightweight contender Beneil Dariush.

Thus far, Pimblett has not booked a fight for 2025, but recent rumors suggest that ‘The Baddy’ could be paired up with Saint-Denis — the guy Moicano absolutely pummeled for 10 minutes in Paris.
