UFC star Paddy Pimblett has told of how he "never feared for his safety" more than attending the Champions League final in Paris last weekend.
The Scouse fighter has burst onto the scene as one of the most exciting newcomers to the MMA promotion, and was enjoying one last trip before fight camp starts for his octagon return this summer. But he was left terrified after watching fans have their tickets stolen while gangs ran around the stadium with some holding machetes and other weapons.
Pimblett was speaking to RMC Sport Combat when he told his story of attending the match, which was delayed by over half-an-hour over issues outside the ground before the game. He claims that it got even worse afterwards, with minimal police presence leading the night to feel like horror film The Purge .
