Paddy Pimblett’s Arguably Biggest Challenge So Far

Paddy The Baddy is 21-3 overall with a 5-0 record since coming to the UFC in 2021. The first three of his UFC fights, the Englishman won by a spectacular finish (one KO and two submissions), winning the Performance of the Night bonus each time.

Then, he went on to win the next two fights by decision, one of which was somewhat controversial. What we’re talking about is his win over Jared Gordon, in which he got taken down three times while making no TDs. He made three significant strikes more than his opponent, which was enough for the judges to score him the winner.

In his most recent fight, Paddy The Baddy defeated veteran Tony Ferguson who was 39 at the time and was on a 6-fight losing skid.

Fast-forward to July 27 and we’ll see Pimblett fight his first opponent who’s ranked in the top 15 in the UFC Lightweight division.

Can King Green Derail the Pimblett Hype Train?

Bobby Green is a 37-year-old MMA veteran who’s got 49 fights under his belt. He’s been in the UFC since 2013, and before that, he fought in the UFC’s predecessor Strikeforce. Green is fun to watch, the evidence being that he’s won three Performance of the Night bonuses in his career, as well as four Fight of the Night bonuses.

He’s fun to watch, but this guy just doesn’t do well against elite opponents. We saw him lose to practically every opponent with title ambitions – Islam Makhachev, Dustin Poirier, Edson Barboza, etc.

His probably best performance ever was in the fight with Grant Dawson last October. He won the fight after only 33 seconds with a spectacular KO.

Paddy Pimblett vs. Bobby Green Prediction

You can think of Bobby King Green as the UFC Lightweight division gatekeeper. Whoever beats him has the right to dream of the title. So, can Paddy The Baddy join the ranks of Makhachev, Poirier, and others? We think he can.

He’s a good fighter with plenty of weapons in his arsenal. Plus, he’s aware that the Pimblett vs. Green UFC 304 fight can make him or break him. That’s why he’s gonna go all in on July 27.

Pick: Paddy Pimblett
