Paddy Pimblett and Benoit Saint-Denis keep it civil in head-to-head at UFC 329 press conference

Paddy Pimblett and Benoit Saint-Denis shared a comparatively friendly face-off at tonight’s press conference in Las Vegas.

Only most important and co-main event stars from UFC 329 were invited to take the stage ahead of certainly one of the largest fights of the yr. Conor McGregor and Max Holloway stole the headlines as they met for the primary time in 13 years, with Pimblett and ‘BSD’ playing second fiddle.

Despite their illustrious company, the Brit and his French rival managed to impress enough with their time on the microphone. And a crowd of 1000’s at T-Mobile Arena were excited to see them come head-to-head for the primary time ahead of Saturday.

Paddy Pimblett insisted that his pop from the group was not as big as Conor McGregor’s when pressed during tonight’s event. But he actually drew his own crowd as fans rained chants of ‘Oh Paddy the Baddy’ across the T-Mobile Arena.

There have been even pockets of French for Benoit Saint-Denis, albeit drowned out by McGregor and Pimblett fans. And because the Irishman stole the show along with his aggressive head-to-head with Holloway, there was little to see between the 2 co-main event stars.

Pimblett, looking visibly drained as he cuts all the way down to 155b for the second time since January, only had a matter of seconds to get a have a look at the much larger Saint-Denis.
