VIDEO: Rising UFC Star Paddy Pimblett Contemplates Career Switch After Visit to Haas F1 Team in Silverstone

Many UFC fighters are followers of other sports. Similarly, Paddy Pimblett seems to have an avid interest in F1. The fighter posted a video of himself on Instagram interacting with the Haas F1 Team.

Pimblett posted the video with the caption, “What yas reckon people have I got a future working in the @haasf1team pit? Only messin more dangerous than gettin in the cage that”.

In the video, the lightweight fighter was seen helping the pit crew change the tires. It looked like the UFC fighter had a great time.

Pimblett’s presence at the British Grand Prix added more star power. However, presenter Martin Brundle failed to recognize the UFC’s rising star.

As per Express, Brundle caught up with some big names like actor Tom Cruise, cricketer Freddie Flintoff and Gordon Ramsay, to name a few. While the well-liked presenter failed to recognize The Baddy and hence, ignored him, the fighter graced the camera with his infectious grin.

Some fans recognized the mixed martial artist and clicked pictures with him.

The 27-year-old fighter last fought in March this year. But he is ready to get back into the Octagon. On July 23, the Britisher will face Jordan Leavitt.
