Paddy Pimblett believes that his UFC London win was more exciting than any of Khabib Nurmagomedov’s fights

“This is another nightmare. I’ve never fought a boring war, something you can’t say about me. Khabib may have gone 29-0 but he didn’t have a happy fight. So, in the end.”

And he said of his win: “As soon as he hit me with that punch and ended up top, I was like ‘oh you’re gonna make yourself look like a proper mushroom now, you need to sort this out kid’. When you talk a big game like this, you can easily become an internet meme.

“I’m going to continue to prove myself right as I climb the rankings. I’ve seen a lot of people slating me saying I’ll never beat the top 15, but do you think half the people who are in the top 15 now will still be there when I’m actually fighting the top 15?

“I’ve still got a long way to go up the ladder, I’m not unrealistic I’m a realist. I know that I’m not top 10 fighter, I know I’ve still got a lot of fights to do. Before I start fighting anyone like that, I wanna get another contract with some extra zeros on there.”
