Fans often mistake the relationship between Paddy Pimblett and Molly McCann. The duo is often seen together as they are really close buddies and teammates, but some fans believe that they are romantically involved with each other. The English UFC fighters have often fought on the same card and it has been 10 long years since Pimblett and McCann have been training together at Next Generation MMA in Liverpool.
Both share a deep passion for MMA, which is one reason that has made them best friends. ‘Meatball’ has appeared on Pimblett’s YouTube videos on several occasions, and they often trash talk about each other in a friendly manner. It is this close bond that has often raised eyebrows. Recently, things got out of hand when a fan took the courage to ask an NSFW question to Pimblett regarding their s*x lives. Even though the question initially put Pimblett in an awkward situation, he chose to handle it in a lighthearted way.

Pimblett is already married to Laura Gregory. On the other hand, McCann is a lesbian and has a girlfriend named Leah McCourt. A fan who was unaware of the relationship status of the UFC fighters went forward to ask an NSFW question during a recent Q&A session.
He asked, “My question is, have you and Molly sh**ged?” After overcoming the initial awkwardness, Pimblett answered, “You do know Molly’s a lesbian, lad?… Yeah, Molly’s a lesbian, she’s got a fiance, lad and I’m married.” ‘The Baddy’ chose to answer the question in a lighthearted manner. However, fans who came across the video on Twitter had a meltdown.

One of the fans felt that the situation was “awkward” as both Pimblett and McCann are training partners are great friends.
A Twitter user pointed out that ‘The Baddy’ got uncomfortable after listening to the question. It was a question he wasn’t expecting.

One of the fans appreciated Pimblett for answering the “brutal” question brilliantly, as he made it clear that the two already have two different partners. It was only when Pimblett said it that the fan realized that McCann was a lesbian.
He honestly handled this question pretty well. I mean, the question was brutal, but he gave him a genuine answer, and kept it light. Props to Paddy!

One Twitter user commented that the fan who asked the question was more like an internet troll.
McCann has previously mentioned that Pimblett is more like a brother to her. Hence, the question irked many people.

One of the fans indirectly mentioned that the question asked by the fan was just stupid, as it was quite outrageous to ask about someone’s personal life on a public platform.
You know how they say there’s no stupid questions…. They be mistaken

Another fan felt that it was a “weird” question as the two UFC fighters have already mentioned that they are good friends and nothing more than that.
What a weird question to ask in the first place
