The UFC doesn’t wish to danger placing Paddy Pimblett in opposition to Renato Moicano. At the very least, that’s what Moicano thinks.
Following his dominant displaying in opposition to Benoit Saint-Denis in September ‘Cash’ as soon as once more referred to as for a conflict with Pimblett. Sadly, the UFC wasn’t keen to provide him what he needed. As an alternative, he’ll return to the Octagon on January 18 for a showdown with No. 9 ranked light-weight contender Beneil Dariush.
Up to now, Pimblett has not booked a combat for 2025, however latest rumors counsel that ‘The Baddy’ could possibly be paired up with Saint-Denis — the man Moicano completely pummeled for 10 minutes in Paris.
“In the event that they find yourself doing Paddy Pimblett versus Benoit Saint-Denis, it will likely be fairly clear why they didn’t put me in opposition to Paddy Pimblett, proper? As a result of probably I beat Benoit Saint-Denis 10-7 within the first spherical,” Moicano mentioned throughout an appearnace on The Ariel Helwani Present. “I simply p**sed his ass. That’s the reality. After which they’re gonna put him in opposition to Paddy? What does that imply? Meaning they know I’ll destroy Paddy Pimblett.”
Pimblett likes the sound of a scrap with Renato Moicano
With Pimblett’s finest bud Molly McCann already being introduced for a combat on March 22 when the UFC heads again to London, there’s a stable likelihood that the Liverpudlian may even seem on the extremely anticipated card.
It’s unlikely that Moicano would make the short eight-week turnaround to fulfill Pimblett in ‘The Large Smoke,’ however given their shut proximity within the light-weight rankings, a scrap is one ‘The Baddy’ would definitely welcome.
“He’s ranked [10] or one thing like that [in the UFC lightweight rankings],” Pimblett instructed OLBG. “He’s an excellent opponent, he’s talked about me, I’ve talked about him. There’s just a few ranks between us. He’s ranked [10] and I’m [13]. So, yeah, let’s see.”
