Oh, Bobby Green sure didn’t hold back, did he? He reckons Paddy Pimblett should’ve thought twice before dropping his name. That’s for sure.
After duking it out with Jim Miller at UFC 300 in Vegas, Green had his sights set. He’s eyeing a showdown with Pimblett for a UFC event rumored to be in Manchester come June.
“Paddy, how dare you? You slimy, sugary little snake,” he blasted in his post-fight chat. “Mentioning my name? I’m coming for you. July, in your own backyard, I’m gonna kick your ass.” Talk about throwing down the gauntlet!
Green’s beef? Well, it’s simple. Pimblett called him out first. “He shouldn’t have said my name,” Green pointed out during a post-fight media scrum. “Should’ve kept quiet. But now? I’m on the hunt. And buddy, you’re gonna regret it.”
Seems like Green and Pimblett were bound to clash sooner or later. Pimblett scraped by with a win over Jared Gordon at UFC 282—a decision not everyone agreed with. Then, when Green faced Gordon and the fight ended in a no contest, Pimblett didn’t like the praise Green received. Fast forward, and after dominating Tony Ferguson at UFC 296, Pimblett’s calling out Green or Grant Dawson.
But here’s the kicker—Green’s not even been keeping tabs on Pimblett’s fights. Nope. What really caught his eye? Pimblett’s victory dance. “I don’t watch Paddy like that,” Green confessed. “Saw the Jared fight by chance. But his fights? Nah. And that victory dance? Not cool, man. Not cool at all.”
So, there you have it. A brewing storm between Green and Pimblett. And it’s not just about the fights—it’s personal.
