One among UFC’s loudmouths has expressed his interest in fighting one other considered one of UFC’s loudmouths. Each Paddy Pimblett and Conor McGregor are known for each their fighting and verbal skills.<\/p>\n

While essentially belonging to different weight classes, \u201cPaddy the Baddy\u201d recently claimed that he’s willing to compete at welterweight (170lbs) against Conor McGregor while awaiting his likelihood to get one other shot on the 155lb weight class championship against Justin Gaethje.<\/p>\n

Recently chatting with \u201cMighty\u201d Demetrious Johnson, Pimblett opened up on his intentions<\/a> of winning the lightweight championship before eventually moving as much as the welterweight division, where he would really like to face McGregor.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would like to win this lightweight belt, defend it, after which I\u2019m going to eventually move as much as welterweight. I\u2019d like to get the rematch with Justin (Gaethje). Arman\u2019s probably in front of me. I do know he wants a rematch with Charles, so Charles might be in front of me. I would really like to fight again before the top of the 12 months. If Conor McGregor needs a welterweight opponent before the top of the 12 months, I\u2019m game.\u201c<\/p>\n

Earlier this 12 months, Pimblett lost the possibility to win the interim UFC Lightweight Championship against Justin Gaethje. Nonetheless, now looking forward to getting that back, he has to first face Benoit Saint-Denis on Jul. 11, 2026.<\/p>\n

As Pimblett prepares for his fight against Saint-Denis, there aren’t any confirmed reports on his potential fight with McGregor. \u201cThe Notorious\u201d Conor McGregor is currently scheduled to face Max Holloway in his UFC return match on the identical UFC 329 card on Jul. 11, 2026.<\/p>\n
