Matt Frevola vows to serve Paddy Pimblett "humble pie" in UFC return

UFC lightweight Matt Frevola has insisted that he will serve Paddy Pimblett "humble pie" if they are to meet in the Brit's octagon comeback next year.

The infamous Scouse fighter is currently sidelined with a foot injury, and could be out for the entirety of 2022 after struggling to a tight decision win over Jared Gordon back in December. Frevola had called for a bout with Pimblett after his upset victory over Ottman Azaitar at Madison Square Garden back in November, but has had to settle for No.14-ranked Drew Dober instead.

Frevola could land himself in the top 15 at 155lb with a victory over Dober in front of a home crowd in New Jersey, which would make him a more attractive prospect to Pimblett, who will want to move through the levels. And he feels that he must avenge his fellow New Yorker Gordon's tight loss, as well as the Brit's subsequent insistence that he had dominated proceedings.
