Conor McGregor vs. Paddy Pimblett: What did UFC superstar 'The Baddy' have to say about the fight?

Rising UFC lightweight sensation Paddy Pimblett recently offered his thoughts on a potential clash with Irish megastar Conor McGregor.

Interacting with Dave Portnoy during an edition of the Chattin Pony podcast, 'The Baddy' welcomed a superfight with 'The Notorious'. He stated that he would be open to any fight offered by the promotion. Pimblett said:

"You never know, I could end up fighting him [Conor McGregor]. We'll see, you don't know what the future holds. Obviously, if someone said will you fight him? Of course I'd fight him... [It] goes without saying, I'll fight anyone."

Paddy Pimblett has shot to stardom since signing with the UFC last September. The Liverpudlian has unsurprisingly drawn comparisons to 'The Notorious' after receiving widespread attention with just three victories under the promotion's banner. His trash talking, T-bagging ways coupled with his colorful personality and Cage Warriors' experience have made him a fan-favorite.

Several MMA experts have stated that Pimblett's meteoric rise to fame has reminded them of the level of popularity the Irishman was able to garner during his early years in the UFC. While Pimblett continues to thrive in the lightweight division, a future collision between the two stars is guaranteed to break PPV records.
