An internet troll has backed out of meeting Paddy Pimblett at his gym after making a violent threat to the UFC star on social media.
Pimblett will return to the octagon this weekend when he takes on Jordan Leavitt at UFC London on Saturday. The Liverpudlian is known for showing his personality on social media, but one user took exception to his brash persona and began mocking him.
The troll then made a threat of violence to the Liverpudlian which saw many other fans leap to Pimblett's defence. The UFC star then offered his address for the pair to fight in response, tweeting: "Come down the gym then mate? 78 Kempston Street, Next Generation you're more than welcome to try it." The troll initially agreed to travel to Pimblett's gym where he has been training for his third professional outing.
