UFC lightweight Paddy Pimblett has stolen Conor McGregor's infamous "red panty night" catchphrase as he heads into his pay-per-view debut.
The Scouse fighter is currently preparing to face Jared Gordon on Saturday night in the co-main event of UFC 282 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. And he believes that other fighters around his weight are desperate to fight him, claiming that he is similarly in-demand with the lower-ranked lightweights to how McGregor is and was at his peak.
McGregor is currently out injured, but is still frequently called out for fights by top contenders at lightweight, welterweight and even featherweight. And Pimblett feels their situations are similar, telling ESPN MMA that he is viewed as a "red panty night" by other fighters in the division.
