Paddy Pimblett talks about feeling no pressure before his fights
For someone who talks the talk before his fights, Paddy Pimblett feels absolutely no pressure during the fight or in the lead-up. Even if he knows that an entire arena would be rooting for him to win the fight.
UFC is back in London and there is no doubt one of the main reasons why the promotion chose to go back to the United Kingdom is because of the pull a fighter like Paddy Pimblett has on his countrymen. UFC London takes place at the O2 Arena tonight and there is no doubt that Paddy The Baddy is the star of the card.
The event is headlined by a heavyweight matchup between Tom Aspinall and Curtis Blaydes but Paddy Pimblett vs Jordan Leavitt is undoubtedly the people’s main event. With so much riding on his shoulder, Pimblett wouldn’t break a sweat. “I don’t feel pressure, lad. No point in being nervous when you know you’re going to win,” said Pimblett, nonchalantly in his latest interview with TMZ Sports.
