Scottish MMA star Stevie Ray believes that he would be able to beat Paddy Pimblett in a massive cross-promotional domestic fight.
The Fife native submitted jiu-jitsu ace Pimblett in a 2019 grappling contest, and expects that lightning would strike twice if the pair were able to get a deal done for a full MMA rematch. It would be an unlikely bout to make given that Ray is signed with PFL and Pimblett is in the UFC, but he has allowed himself to think about the possibility.
Back in 2019, between his last two UFC outings, Ray beat Pimblett at a Polaris event in Manchester with a heel hook, but just two months later would begin a three-year period out of MMA action including a brief retirement before returning for this season's tournament.
