UFC star Paddy Pimblett sends Darwin Nunez Liverpool prediction to Man City's Erling Haaland

Paddy 'The Baddy' Pimblett says that new Liverpool signing Darwin Nunez will score more goals than Manchester City arrival Erling Haaland this season and claims that he has complete faith in the Uruguayan record signing for the Reds.

Nunez signed for Jurgen Klopp's side for a record fee in June but is yet to hit the back of the net in pre-season, leading some fans to question the player despite playing little more than an hour of football for his new club. But 27-year-old UFC star Pimblett thinks the striker will at least match Mohamed Salah's goal tally.

Reds fan Pimblett, who fights Jordan Leavitt at UFC London this weekend, made the claim when speaking to BT Sport ahead of the event. He is on the main card at the O2 Arena on Saturday night alongside fellow scouser, 'Meatball' Molly McCann, who takes on Hannah Goldy at the event.
