A 30-year-old popular UFC fighter, currently ranked sixth in the lightweight division, Englishman **[Paddy Pimblett](https://example.com/paddy-pimblett)**, has issued a sharp retort to 34-year-old former UFC champion in the 70 kg category, Russian **Islam Makhachev**, in response to his comment about the Scouser’s position in the title race.

«Recently, Islam said, ‘Who has Paddy beaten?’ He got his title shot after defeating Bobby Green — a fighter I finished faster than you did. Hey, little idiot, what do you think about that? Come back to lightweight. I’ll break your face too,» Pimblett’s words were reported by the Red Corner MMA account on social media platform X.

For context, Pimblett made his North American league debut in March 2022 and is currently on a seven-fight winning streak.
