Paddy Pimblett is one of the great orators that the UFC currently has in their books, but that was not always the case.
Pimblett is a brash and sometimes stubborn person, who is just as popular for his antics outside the Octagon as he is for his winning streak in it. He gives explosive interviews after the fight, including the infamous 'scousers are not eliminated', among other things.
Years ago, however, he developed his profession both in the cage and on the microphone when he gave one of his very first interviews ever. He almost looked a different person because he seemed awe in front of the cameras and was much quieter than he was.
Paddy Pimblett was another man in the early career interview
At the beginning of 2011, Paddy Pimblett was only 16 years old and competed on the local amateur scene in Liverpool. He was 3-0 when he did an interview with the Sharefight YouTube channel, prior to an event called RAW 1 Enter The Colosseum.
Pimblett was nothing on the self -assured character that he is today and simply answered with one or two words to different questions. However, a moment that stands out is when he is asked his nickname and replied that his coach calls him Paddy the Baddy “.
He claims that the nickname has earned huge money to this day with the name next to his Octagon versions. And he seems to have grown in himself and is now one of the most exciting interviews in the UFC.
Paddy Pimblett is now one of the biggest names in UFC
Since that interview, Pimblett has come to the UFC via Cage Warriors where he has become one of the biggest names in sport. He still has to taste a defeat in the Octagon and started to hand in some massive versions in recent trips.

After having trouble enduring Jared Gordon in a controversial fight at the end of 2022, he returned a year later against former interim champion Tony Ferguson. He brutalized the American before he continued with King Green, whom he submitted to UFC 304 in a round.
He stands for a strict challenge at UFC 314 in former Bellator champion Michael Chandler, who has earned performance bonuses in four of his six octagonal trips. The former champion has sworn to offer the Brit's first knockout defeat.
