Paddy Pimblett has agreed with UFC boss Dana White after he compared 'The Baddy' to former two-weight champion Conor McGregor.
Pimblett's rise in the UFC has drawn comparisons to McGregor's, with the Liverpudlian becoming one of the promotion's most popular fighters after just three fights. Pimblett, who submitted Jordan Leavitt at UFC London last month, boasts a massive 1.8million Instagram followers despite having his previous account deleted on the platform.
UFC boss White said of Pimblett after his latest win: "He’s got that Conor McGregor vibe. When he walks, when he’s in the arena, the way that the fans receive him, the way that the media covers him. The way that the people who search for content." White also cited the amount of views Pimblett's face-off with Leavitt received on his Instagram account as proof of his star power.
