UFC Star Paddy The Baddy Tells Gary Neville What Every Liverpool Fan Thinks Of Him

Whilst on Gary Neville’s show The Overlap Paddy Pimblett spoke about his love for Liverpool and his Liverpool idols growing up.

UFC sensation Paddy Pimblett, who also goes by the name ‘Paddy The Baddy’, has risen to fame in the last year and has become one the Dana White’s hottest prospects.

Paddy is 2-0 in the UFC and if he can continue winning, then his stocks will only get higher and higher. 

The Scouse fighter has made his allegiances to Liverpool FC no secret and is an avid supporter of the club.

Despite his allegiances to the Merseysiders, Paddy has a close relationship with fellow UFC fighter, and die-hard Everton fan, 'Meatball' Molly McCann.

The pair recently appeared on Gary Neville's YouTube show The Overlap, where the two scousers spoke about their careers and their love for their respective football teams.

When speaking about Neville on Twitter, Paddy said: “Pleasure to meet (Gary Neville) an do the Overlap,

“It's crazy for me to say as a scouse Liverpool fan what a cool dude he is when I hated him for so many years, told him this too.

“I love a bit of Neville and Carra (Jamie Carragher) now a days they the best pundits on telly."

Whilst on the show, Paddy was asked who his idols were, and with no hesitation responded: "easiest question you've ever asked, Steven Gerrard".

Much to the dismay of Neville, Paddy also stated that Jamie Carragher was one of his idols as he was growing up.

Paddy, who is known for his love of food, was asked to pick a favourite delicacy to which he said he “can't pick a favourite meal” because he “likes that many different types of food".

The UFC star is known for putting on weight between fights but has recently had to cut down in preparation for his next bout.

The 27-year-old fights on July 23rd at UFC London.

He will be hoping to put on a show in front of the O2 crowd in his hardest test to date against Jordan Leavitt, who has a 10-1 record in MMA.
