In his UFC debut, 'The Notorious' megastar captured the attention of fans across the globe by knocking out Marcus Brimage spectacularly in the first round.

Paddy Pimblett is confident he'd beat Conor McGregor in a fight

While the two men have been cordial with each other on social media, Conor McGregor must be aware of the fact Paddy Pimblett recently claimed he'd submit the Irishman if the pair met inside the octagon.

In a recent chat with Submission Radio, Paddy Pimblett reaffirmed those claims.

"This is the fighting sport and if you don't believe that you can beat someone then you shouldn't be in there with them. I still say to this day, get me in there with Conor McGregor and I'll submit him in two or three rounds," said Paddy Pimblett.
