Paddy Pimblett has been making quite a name for himself since he signed to the UFC recently. The former Cage Warriors champion has been firing shots at everyone and it's even made its way to Dustin Poirier.

The UFC lightweight contender was not even on Paddy Pimblett's radar a few days ago. After speaking with Michael Bisping, Pimblett fired some shots towards Dustin Poirier.

The barbs were in regards to his fight against Charles Oliveria at UFC 269. Paddy Pimblett was not impressed with the performance and believes he would do bad things to Dustin Poirier based on the way the fight turned out.

“I went with Poirier over Oliveira. And lad, after watching that fight as well, I’m watching that thinking, ‘Lad, if Oliveira can do that to you Dustin, I can.’ It’s mad like, when you watch (it), MMA math doesn’t work, but when you watch fights, you’re just like, ‘Wow, if he can do that and get in that position, then fucking I can.’”

Paddy Pimblett has only one fight in the UFC so far and a fight with Dustin Poirier is not realistic in the slightest. The confidence from the Englishman has been a huge reason for his success across the pond.

The English UFC fighter does have a solid ground game and it's obvious he was inspired by the openings Charles Oliveira was able to create. A fight with Dustin Poirier could happen but it would have to happen soon before he chooses to retire, as has been the rumor.
