The highly anticipated UFC 304 event has finally come to an end and it lived up to the expectations. Some of the most talented fighters in the promotion put on a show for the fans in Manchester. The night turned out to be a memorable one for Paddy Pimblett in the lightweight division as he walked past the challenge of King Green in a highly anticipated clash.

Green walked into the fight as a favorite after his dominating performance at UFC 300, however, ‘The Baddy’ proved that he is definitely one of the rising stars in the division as he beat his 37-year-old opponent quite easily. Green seemed hurt after the fight and shared a message for his fans.

King Green shares an honest update about his condition after his UFC 304 clash

On Saturday evening, Paddy Pimblett delivered one of the most outstanding performances of his MMA career. On paper, his opponent King Green appeared to be the favorite and was probably the toughest challenge for the 29-year-old. However, the veteran was put to sleep with a triangle-armbar combination in the first round itself.

Surprisingly, Green, who is known to fight on his feet, went for a takedown which surprised Pimblett. What followed was a submission masterclass forcing the #15 ranked fighter to tap. Green was indeed disappointed with the loss and admitted that he had a “bad night”.

Parry Punch took to their X account to share the statement of Green. “What a day. Thank you guys for checking in on me,” the 37-year-old said. Green was struggling with his right hand after the fight was over, which was pretty evident during the official announcement. However, it seems that nothing major happened, as he further added, “I am ok I guess. You know s..t happens. Felt like I slipped into some s..t and it just went the perfect way (for Paddy).”

Known for his charismatic attitude, Green admitted to his mistake and seemed to be ready for his next challenge. “I had a bad night. No excuses. I live by a code kill or be killed. Today I got killed. Let the ridicule begin. You know I know what comes with this. You guys can talk you s..t . Let’s go. “ he concluded. This was the first time Green was submitted in his UFC career after nearly going toe-to-toe with the best in the division.

Pimblett, on the other hand, will now move into the top 15 after his latest victory and will be eyeing the title soon. ‘The Baddy’ not only won the fight but also won the hearts of the fans in his post-fight interview.

Paddy Pimblett impresses one and all with his post-fight antiques

After successfully winning his fight at UFC 304, Pimblett has taken his winning run to five consecutive wins. The 29-year-old proved to the world that he has all the skill set to become a champion. However, the highlight of the night was his post-fight interview. While speaking to Daniel Cormier, he gave a shout-out to a young cancer victim, Chad Jones. The young fan looked up to Pimblett and liked to call himself ‘The Baddy’. The fighter took the opportunity to show his appreciation towards the young kid by wearing his armband.

Pimblett also shared a message for the young kid and said, “I just want to dedicate this fight to little Chaddy the Baddy, seven years of age, lost his life to cancer, seven years old. He called himself Chaddy the Baddy because he’s a baddy fan, his name was Chad Jones, little man that’s for you.” 

While the fans get to see ‘The Baddy’s aggressive side inside the Octagon, he is a true gentleman outside of it. With a career record of 22-3-0, Pimblett is slowly inching towards the belt. He has already found himself an opponent in Renato Moicano and called him out after his win.
