Paddy Pimblett on Dustin Poirier
Paddy Pimblett is one of the hottest and most promising prospects in the UFC right now, the former cage warriors champion made the most out of his debut when he knocked out his opponent in the very first round. After his performance, it was clear that Paddy’s hype is real, and now he has eyes set on some high profiled opponents.
Paddy called out Tony Ferguson, but never got a reply, now he is eyeing for a fight against the former interim lightweight champion, Dustin Poirier. Poirier got the second chance at the lightweight strap at the main event of UFC 269. He faced Charles Oliveira, and after an impressive first round, he got choked out by the champ and received a lot of criticism for the loss.
Poirier was coming off from two back-to-back victories over Conor McGregor, and he was a huge favorite moving in this fight. After he lost the fight, he wasn’t sure if he wanted to compete anymore, but the fire inside him reignited when he was offered a fight against Nate Diaz. Nothing has been made official yet, but Poirier accepted the fight, and it could be the biggest fight of this year.

Just like anyone else, Pimblett too picked Dustin to come out victorious in his fight against Oliveira, but Oliveira proved everyone wrong, and now he is supposed to defend his belt against Justin Gaethje next. Pimblett is also looking for an opponent, and he believes he can beat Dustin too.
Talking to Michael Bisping on his Believe You Me Podcast, he said, “I went with Poirier over Oliveira. And lad, after watching that fight as well, I’m watching that thinking, ‘Lad, if Oliveira can do that to you Dustin, I can.’ It’s mad like, when you watch, MMA math doesn’t work, but when you watch fights, you’re just like, ‘Wow, if he can do that and get in that position, then f***ing I can.’”
