Matt Frevola calls out Paddy Pimblett for the recently announced UFC card in Manchester
The UFC will make its way to Manchester on July 27. UFC 304 will take place in the storied city, and one fighter is very keen to make an impact on that day.
Matt Frevola is an American UFC fighter. However, he is keen on taking on Paddy Pimblett in his home country at UFC 304. Expressing his excitement, Frevola recently tweeted out at ‘The Baddy’. He said,

The fight poster posted by Frevola bills the fight as a classic US vs. UK fight. The ‘Steamrolla’ wants to make a statement by beating Paddy Pimblett in his backyard.
Although Frevola seems pretty hyped up, it will be interesting to see if the UFC ultimately makes the fight official. With Pimblett’s win over Tony Ferguson, he will look to make his way up the rankings now. While he has a lot of opponents to choose from, but for now, he will enjoy some quality time with his daughters.
