Paddy Pimblett has explained that he is refusing to watch England at the World Cup this year over their criminalisation of homosexuality.
The lightweight UFC star is a massive football fan, and is often spotted at Anfield watching Liverpool, where Trent Alexander-Arnold and Jordan Henderson call home. However, he's not interested in watching them play for the Three Lions after taking issue with the human rights issues that are well documented in this year's host country of Qatar.
Pimblett's best friend is fellow fighter Molly McCann, who is one of the top flyweights in the world and another avid football fan, although she supports local rivals Everton. McCann is a gay woman, and as such would technically be banned from showing affection with her long-time partner if she were to attend a game at the tournament under local laws.
