Paddy Pimblett is on the rise with his 3rd straight victory inside the Octagon. Moreover, since making his debut in Sept 2021, he hasn’t lost a match. Although he has not faced a noteworthy opponent, he is knocking on the door for a big fight.

On the other hand, Conor McGregor hasn’t had the best results inside the Octagon recently. In addition, he has lost three out of his last four fights. Having lost his last two fights against Dustin Poirier and the latest with a leg break, he is looking for an opponent for his return fight.

Moreover, he questioned the merit of the fight. He said, “Who cares? What are you fighting for? Why are you guys fighting, why would you fight? Why would you fight Conor? Conor do something, Conor say something, Conor get under your skin. Something around town? Something on social media? I’ll take absolutely anything.

If there is no prompt for the fight, he will not be interested in watching the fight. Not unless there is another reason apart from that they are fighting.
