Paddy Pimblett recently mocked King Green's botched effort to message Nina-Marie Daniele ahead of their bout at UFC 304. The lightweight duo will face off on the main card of the eighth pay-per-view event of 2024, scheduled for this Saturday at the Co-op Live Arena in Manchester, United Kingdom.
Daniele has risen to prominence largely due to her inimitable and humorous interviewing style. As an MMA content creator, she is renowned for asking fighters unorthodox questions that reveal aspects of them seldom seen by many fans.
In an interview with Green before his fight against Tony Ferguson at UFC 291 in July 2023, Daniele subtly brought up a message she had received on Instagram from the veteran 155-pounder in September 2021, which left him visibly stunned.

During a recent conversation with Daniele, Pimblett ridiculed Green's attempt to strike up a dialogue with her on social media:
"I’ve seen that one where he tried to slide into your DMs. Holy sh*t, he got shot down... It was funny, you terrorized him, it was hilarious."

'The Baddy' is coming off a commanding decision victory over Ferguson at UFC 296 last December. Since making his promotional debut in September 2021, Pimblett has amassed an undefeated record, securing five consecutive wins.
Paddy Pimblett dares King Green to a grappling showdown at UFC 304
In a recent video on his YouTube channel, Paddy Pimblett lashed out at King Green for secretly recording him at UFC San Diego in August 2022. 'The Baddy' expressed his displeasure with Green's actions and criticized him for the claims he made about his abilities.
Pimblett further challenged the American to grapple with him during their upcoming bout at UFC 304:
"Remember when I was in San Diego with my wife, and you were sitting two rows behind me? Videoing on Instagram live the back of my head, talking sh*t about me... Didn't have the balls to come over and say nothing to my face... Grapple with me then, lad. Back your word up. We both know that you can strike even though you've got no power... Grapple with me. Let's see if you've got the balls to grapple with me."
