Paddy Pimblett understands that on paper he is not the leader who encounters the following against Ilia Topuria.
The lightweight champion currently weighs the options for his next fight after switching off Charles Oliveira on UFC 317 in June.
Paddy Pimblett placed his name in the conversation by brucing Michael Chandler in a TKO victory on the third round before storming the cage to confront Ilia Topuria immediately after his 155LB title win.
'The Baddy' is at #9 on lightweight, but depicts his chance to jump people like Arman Tsarukyan and Justin Gaethje to get a shot at the pound-for-pound best hunter in the UFC.

Paddy Pimblett's next fight
Pimblett vlogged his reaction visit to Las Vegas to see his teammate competing at UFC Vegas 108.
The 30-year-old has closed his latest YouTube video by giving an update on his next fight.
If everything goes according to plan, Pimblett will fight Topuria for the lightweight title later this year.
“I have no idea. Hopefully I will be the following to 'the chorizo',” he said about his UFC recovery
“And I think that is what all Americans want, because every American I have encountered keeps saying, when are you going to take the head of that sausage?”
“I hope that it will be sorted. I understand that I have been arranged nine, so other people are probably more earning, but 'Posh Boy' is certainly not. Little rich boy, Arman. Show how desperate he offers £ 1 million to fight him.
“Pampered rich baby trying to pay his way out of things. That's why he put when he made weight in a bath like a small B —. Arman is irrelevant. Nobody cares about him.”
“As I always say, I have nothing but respect for Justin, but I keep seeing in interviews that he says he doesn't want to fight.
“I think I'm the only fight to make me and Ilia.”
Paddy Pimblett then shoots Hooker
Pimblett concluded his comments about the 155LB division by beating back to Dan Hooker.
The UFC light weight competition recently promoted the promotion for the consideration of Topuria vs. Pimblett
Hooker also distanced himself from a fight with Pimblett, which he called 's' – compared to the other players in the weight class.
“I saw Hooker talking – also recently,” Pimblett said.
“I used to love than hooker. Now you can eat s -!”
