The rivalry between Bobby Green and Paddy Pimblett has been ongoing for some time now. It intensified after the British called out Green for a fight after winning at UFC 296. Green answered the call-out with style, putting on a great performance at UFC 300. Four PPVs later, the pair will finally get a chance to take on each other. Ahead of the fight, Pimblett has mocked ‘King’ for his gangster persona and lifestyle.
Yeah, Bobby talks a lot of s**t. He’s an egomaniac. He talks about me being cocky and he’s one of the most cocky fighters I’ve ever seen in my life. Bobby come be cocky all you want, lad. I’m just going to show everyone he’s a f**king fake Tupac with all his fake chains.
