Javier Mendez Heaps Reward on “The Baddy”
Throughout a current version of his “Javier & Mo Present,” Javier Mendez admitted that Paddy Pimblett has performed sufficient to obtain a large combat, even when it’s towards Islam Makhachev for the UFC Light-weight Championship (through MMAJunkie).
“Paddy is able to face anyone,” Mendez stated on his “Javier & Mo Present” podcast. “I imply, what he’s performed already, his credentials, his profitable file within the UFC, his hype, and what he can do, how he can inspire folks. If they provide him the following title shot, he deserves it.”
Mendez wasn’t the largest believer of Pimblett at first. The rising 155-pounder has grown on Makhachev’s coach.
“He’s improved each single time,” Mendez stated of Pimblett. “Each time he comes out, his confidence is stronger and stronger on a regular basis. His talking is fairly spectacular. I like him. He’s enjoyable to observe. I can’t perceive half the phrases he says, however I do choose up on him. …He’s humorous.”
Many are questioning who Makhachev’s subsequent title protection shall be towards. Makhachev has made it clear that he’d relatively not combat former UFC Featherweight Champion Ilia Topuria proper now. The light-weight champion’s argument is that he’s already overwhelmed a former 145-pound champion twice in Alexander Volkanovski. He’d relatively “La Leyenda” show himself at 155 kilos first.
