The internet seems to have completely turned on Paddy Pimblett. Hailing from Liverpool, the fighter seems to be one of the most hated UFC athletes at the moment. This hate comes despite him being an absolute darling of the internet just a month ago.

To add, YouTuber turned boxer and WWE superstar Logan Paul had a go at Pimblett too. On the IMPAULSIVE podcast, “The Maverick” spoke of he wanted to sue Paddy The Baddy. His animosity towards the Liverpool superstar comes after Pimblett spread misinformation about PRIME, an energy drink brand, owned by Logan Paul and KSI.

“He made a comparison video, here’s another L, which is identical to the comparison videos that I made. And he lied in the video. He poured out sugar at one part to show Prime’s 2g of sugar and he poured a f**kload of it. I could technically sue the f**k out of you for that misinformation. You f**king lied. The brand is s**t, it makes Paddy look like a cheap sellout… I even commented and I said, ‘Thanks for the promo’.” said the American pro wrestler and YouTuber about Paddy’s actions.

Paddy Pimblett’s deal with Body Fuel, a competitor of PRIME seems to have rubbed Logan Paul the wrong way. Moreover, Paddy’s appropriation of his video for his own benefit and the alleged misinformation he spread doesn’t seem to have helped things. However, Paddy The Baddy will not be too concerned with this. It’s not like this is uncharted territory for him, already having beef with Logan’s brother Jake Paul.

A few days before his fight against Jared Gordon, Jake Paul called the Scouser out to a sparring session. Paul posted a video in which he called out Paddy to a sparring session and offered him a million dollars for it. However, this offer did come with a fair few caveats.

I have a proposition for you, since you wouldn’t rig fights right? Let’s spar. Fly to Puerto Rico, I’ll get you a private jet. We’ll do 5, 3 minute rounds, boxing. If you win, I’ll give you a million dollars…But if I win, you have to join the United Fighters Association and help me sign up all of the fighters in the UK.” said the undefeated professional boxer.

In response to Jake’s offer, Paddy Pimblett countered with one of his own. He asked Jake Paul to come down to the UFC Performance Institute to spar with him after his fight with Jared Gordon was done and dusted. However, in a sit-down interview with Daniel Cormier, Pimblett also revealed that the 25-year old American turned down his offer, claiming he had a meeting with the WBA on that day.
