Paddy Pimblett warned sparring with Jake Paul "won't end well" for UFC star

Paddy Pimblett has been warned by fellow UFC star Cody Durden that he should avoid sparring Jake Paul, as the session "won't end well" for him.

The UFC lightweight has had an ongoing internet feud with Paul over the past few weeks, as the pair attempt to come to terms on a sparring match which the American has tabled. They are currently split over a venue, with the YouTuber pushing for Pimblett to take a private jet to his training base in Puerto Rico, while the Brit wants to do it in Las Vegas at the UFC Performance Institute.

But Durden, a flyweight fighter who shared the card with Pimblett for his fight at the first UFC London this year, believes it would be wise for the Scouse fighter to steer clear of Paul. After watching Pimblett struggled to get past Jared Gordon on Saturday, taking a number of clean left hands to his chin, Durden believes it would be wise for him to turn down the offer.
