Paddy Pimblett 'never been so scared' as he recounts Paris terror

Paddy "The Baddy" Pimblett compared the aftermath of the Champions League final to scenes in horror film The Purge.

The film, released in 2013, is based on an event where all crime is legal for twelve hours. UFC star Paddy believes he and other fans experienced something similar amid "groups of 30 men" wielding "machetes, knives and bats" and "emptying people's pockets".

Thousands of LFC fans travelled to the French capital ahead of the match against Real Madridlast Saturday, but for most, it was far from pleasant. Thousands reported being tear gassed in "disgusting behaviour by the authorities".
