Rising UFC Star Paddy Pimblett Reveals Dream Celebrity Fight
After a year-long recovery from an ankle injury, Paddy Pimblett, the rising star of the UFC, is ready to continue his ascent in the lightweight rankings. His next challenge awaits him at UFC 296 on Saturday, where he will face off against veteran Tony Ferguson. Pimblett’s charismatic personality has made him a fan favorite, and in a recent interview with British GQ, he shared his dream opponent for a celebrity fight and even picked a tag team partner for this fantasy matchup.
Pimblett expressed his desire to take on Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Facebook, alongside his chosen partner, Elon Musk. ‘If I could choose any celebrity to fight, me and Elon [Musk] are beating Mark Zuckerberg up, aren’t we?’ Pimblett said. ‘Know what I’m sayin’. I’ll be there in Elon’s corner, so we can muff the Zuck.’
In addition to Pimblett’s upcoming fight, another British fighter, Leon Edwards, will be headlining the event as he defends his UFC welterweight championship against the outspoken Colby Covington.
