The attacks of Paddy Pimblett (23-3) contra Iliary Top (17-0) They do not cease after the face to face in Las Vegas … and that is that the Liverpool fighter does not want to miss the opportunity to, through his words, gain an opportunity for the title. He went down to #10 of the ranking of the light weight but it is unquestionable that a fight between them, Although Paddy is one more victory to earn the opportunity, I would sell a lot.
The last of those attacks arrived this week, on the UFC YouTube channel and in one of its programs, where they interviewed him. There, he compared Topuria with McGregor: “It has the same tattoos … it's just an exact copy of McGregor … at its best, McGregor would have knocked him out with a left -footed shot.”
It has the same tattoos … it's just an exact copy of McGregor …
A hint to which the 'Matador' had already answered during his press conference last Friday, again in Spain and with the two champion belts: “Without a doubt (I would beat McGregor, ed.). Sport evolves every year. It is constantly evolving.It's like comparing a football star of the 80s or 90s with current football. Would they shine? Maybe, but I think there are better players. “
However, Paddy did not stop there and made it clear that he would like to imitate McGregor's iconic KO to Aldo (10 seconds of the fight) … but against Topuria: “I keep dreaming madly with which I will liquidate him in the first 10 seconds, as McGregor did with Aldo. But that would not be enough.” A few days ago he talked about “doing so” with a long fight and that he worn to Topuria.
I keep dreaming madly with which I will liquidate it in the first 10 seconds
We will see if these continuous messages and the growth of an already settled rivalry They are enough to cause the first defense of the title of the lightweight of Ilyia Topuria to be against Paddy … or if the UFC has other plans for the Hispanic-Georgian.
