Dana White reacts to Paddy Pimblett's star powers
Dana White completely realizes the kind of superstars Paddy Pimblett and Molly McCann are shaping out to be. The UFC President is blown by the numbers that the duo has been producing in their recent performances and believes they have a huge future.
Paddy Pimblett and Molly McCann are the new favorite duo in the MMA world. The Liverpool natives have taken over the UFC by storm and are pulling in huge numbers that are very “Conor McGregor” like according to the UFC boss himself. Dana White was not present at last week’s UFC London event at the O2 Arena but the boss sure was keeping a watch on how the people reacted when Molly and Paddy walk out to the arena.
Paddy and Molly absolutely stole the show last weekend with their fights and also their personalities. The two have managed to create a huge fanbase for themselves and Pimblett in particular is turning out to be the next big thing in the United Kingdom. The Liverpool star’s fight was the people’s main event and he has never put on disappointing performances inside the octagon.
In a recent press conference that Dana attended, the UFC boss reveals some astonishing numbers that Paddy and Molly produced on his Instagram account. White reveals that Paddy out-performed the main event by 5 times. There is no doubt that Paddy is a superstar in the making.

“To talk about Championship stuff right now is a little too soon. But he’s got that Conor McGregor vibe, man. When he walks about, the way that the fans receive him, the way that the media covers him, the way that people search for content…,” White went on praising the lightweight star from Liverpool in the press conference.
Dana then asked for his phone and compared numbers between the main event face-offs of UFC London and the face-offs of Paddy The Baddy. UFC London was headlined by Tom Aspinall and Curtis Blaydes, their face-off did 203,000 views on Dana’s Instagram page. Meanwhile, Paddy’s face-off with Jordan Leavitt did 1.7 million views. That is a bashing more than 5X the views than the headliner of the fight event.
Dana also reveals that Molly McCann’s video of drinking the Howler Head alcohol did 2 million views on his Instagram account. “So those two together are powerful, man,” said White in the press conference. The UFC boss is targeting a fight for Paddy in New York or Boston next.
