The UFC doesn’t need to threat placing Paddy Pimblett towards Renato Moicano. Not less than, that’s what Moicano thinks.
Following his dominant exhibiting towards Benoit Saint-Denis in September ‘Cash’ as soon as once more referred to as for a conflict with Pimblett. Sadly, the UFC wasn’t keen to offer him what he wished. As a substitute, he’ll return to the Octagon on January 18 for a showdown with No. 9 ranked light-weight contender Beneil Dariush.
To date, Pimblett has not booked a battle for 2025, however current rumors counsel that ‘The Baddy’ may very well be paired up with Saint-Denis — the man Moicano completely pummeled for 10 minutes in Paris.
“In the event that they find yourself doing Paddy Pimblett versus Benoit Saint-Denis, it will likely be fairly clear why they didn’t put me towards Paddy Pimblett, proper? As a result of probably I beat Benoit Saint-Denis 10-7 within the first spherical,” Moicano stated throughout an appearnace on The Ariel Helwani Present. “I simply p**sed his ass. That’s the reality. After which they’re gonna put him towards Paddy? What does that imply? Which means they know I’ll destroy Paddy Pimblett.”
Pimblett likes the sound of a scrap with Renato Moicano
With Pimblett’s greatest bud Molly McCann already being introduced for a battle on March 22 when the UFC heads again to London, there’s a stable probability that the Liverpudlian can even seem on the extremely anticipated card.
It’s unlikely that Moicano would make the fast eight-week turnaround to fulfill Pimblett in ‘The Large Smoke,’ however given their shut proximity within the light-weight rankings, a scrap is one ‘The Baddy’ would definitely welcome.
“He’s ranked [10] or one thing like that [in the UFC lightweight rankings],” Pimblett instructed OLBG. “He’s opponent, he’s talked about me, I’ve talked about him. There’s just a few ranks between us. He’s ranked [10] and I’m [13]. So, yeah, let’s see.”
