Paddy Pimblett has had a fruitful beginning to his UFC career, going 4-0 thus far. As a result, his paychecks and reputations have both grown, but the unwarranted criticism from online trolls has also grown.

Recently Pimblett challenged one of the more outspoken skeptics to a sparring session at his gym in Liverpool. The reward for surviving the bout was £500. Considering the harm the troll could have caused, Paddy Pimblett was relatively kind to him and got the job done fast. In the end, he was impressed that the man showed up. Moreover, endured the pounding for a prolonged period. After the fight, Paddy Pimblett said, “He’s got b*lls. … I have got a lot more respect for him than anyone else on Instagram who talks sh*t. He turned up.”

Following his most recent triumph in a competitive match against Jared Gordon at UFC 282, which he won by unanimous decision, rumors on the internet began to circulate that UFC awarded Pimblett the victory. The British fighter faced harsh criticism for his underwhelming performance, but his upcoming fight will undoubtedly be captivating.
