Unranked UFC star Paddy Pimblett is gearing up for his sixth fight in the premier MMA organization at UFC 304 in Manchester, England. The 29-year-old will take on top-ranked lightweight Bobby Green on the event’s main card. In an interview with MMA Junkie earlier this week, Pimblett expressed his openness to fighting YouTube boxers after UFC 304.

“Some of these dumb YouTube boxers would offer me millions to fight them, but we’ll see what happens,” Pimblett stated. “If I take another fight in the UFC this year, I’d want to fight someone higher ranked. Me and (Renato) Moicano have had some back and forth; I’d love to fight Moicano. It would be fun to do a season of The Ultimate Fighter with him. It would have been one of the best seasons ever.”

Potential Future Fights and Opponents

Pimblett’s future plans hinge on the outcome of UFC 304.

“This is the last fight on my contract, so we’ll be getting back to the renegotiation table after this. Let’s see what happens,” he noted. Despite the uncertainty, Pimblett remains focused on making a statement against Bobby Green.

Renato Moicano, one of Pimblett’s potential future opponents, is set to face top-ranked Frenchman Benoit Saint-Denis at UFC Paris in September. The Brazilian is riding a three-fight winning streak, most recently securing a TKO victory over American Jalin Turner at UFC 300.

“Me and Moicano had a little back and forth, so I’d love to fight Moicano,” Pimblett reiterated. “I think it’d be absolutely hilarious if we did a season of The Ultimate Fighter together. It would be one of the best seasons they’ve ever done.”

Personal Changes and Training Adjustments

In addition to his professional ambitions, Pimblett has experienced significant personal changes with the arrival of his twin daughters.

“Life’s been eventful, to say the least. It’s crazy, having two little humans to look after. It’s madness,” Pimblett shared. Despite the sleepless nights, he remains committed to his training. “People have said they’ve noticed a change in me, like my coaches, Molly, and my wife. I feel the same, but I’ve got a newfound respect for women, especially seeing my wife handle everything with the kids.”

As Pimblett prepares for his upcoming fight, he acknowledged the challenges posed by the time zone difference.

“It’s annoying that the fight is at 4:30 in the morning here because it gives fighters like Bobby an advantage. But I’m prepared for a three-round fight, and if the finish is there, I’m going to take it.”

This card promises to be one of the most exciting events of the year, with Pimblett’s fight against Green being a focal point. Fans are eager to see how Pimblett performs and whether his future might indeed involve a crossover into the world of YouTube boxing.
