Paddy Pimblett recently spoke out took issue with Daniel Cormier and Michael Bisping for their commentary in his UFC debut. He wasn't questioning their skills on the mic but rather what they were saying.
It seems Daniel Cormier and Michael Bisping actually helped Paddy Pimblett find the inspiration for his first UFC win. The Liverpool native felt like they were commentating against him and he wanted to prove them wrong.
“Yeah, they were just going against me to be honest,” the UFC lightweight told ESPN (h/t MMANews). “That’s why at one point I heard DC go like, ‘He’s losing this round’, and then I was like, ‘Am I yeah? I’m losing this round?’ and that’s when I bit down on me gummy and started going on him. I think it’s hard to take him down and then when we got straight back up, I went at him and started throwing punches. I knew I broke him, he hit me with his biggest shot and I stood there. And then I heard DC and Bisping and went forward and put it on him.”
Michael Bisping and Daniel Cormier were not alone in thinking Paddy Pimblett was losing the fight. Many people reacted to his UFC debut and felt like he struggled against his opponent.
Paddy Pimblett returns this weekend at UFC London where he's looking to break out and become a star in the promotion. It will be interesting to see how the crowd reacts and what he can in his home country.
