Paddy Pimblett is set to face off against Jordan Leavitt on Saturday for a highly anticipated matchup. The rising UFC star didn't mince words regarding Leavitt during media day, as the two have generated some bad blood the last several weeks. Now, Paddy the Baddy reveals his hilarious celebration plans if he wins by knockout.
Apparently, Jordan Leavitt claims he will twerk on Pimblett after defeating him in the octagon on UFC's main card. According to Oscar Willis, the lightweight star didn't like the sound of that and has come up with a hilarious celebration himself. If he wins by knockout, Paddy Pimblett aims to “tea bag” Leavitt “like it's Modern Warfare Two.”
Ahhhh yes. The most reliable way to piss off an opponent playing Call of Duty or any other shooter game. Tea bagging after a victory is the ultimate way to insult an opponent in the virtual world and Paddy the Baddy plans to bring it to real life in the Lightweight division. If Pimblett can pull it off without getting in trouble, then props to him. It'll be difficult though, as UFC referees are typically no-nonsense after a fighter loses consciousness.
Regardless, it sounds like Paddy Pimblett and Jordan Leavitt's back and forth are reaching a breaking point, per Oscar Willis. When they meet in the octagon, Pimblett does not plan to touch gloves and seriously wants to put the hurt on Leavitt. If that's the case, we might have an electric UFC fight on our hands.
Make sure to tune in early on Saturday. The prelims are set to begin at 11 A.M. while the main card kicks off at 2 P.M. You can catch all of the action on ESPN+, as the UFC fights will be shown throughout the day.
