UFC Vegas 70 brought a nation together as people flocked to a stadium to witness their fighter, Nurullo Aliev, make his UFC debut. The Tajikistani fighter didn’t disappoint either, as he picked up a win in his very first promotional fight. In addition, the lightweight fighter, after putting in a remarkable display, triumphed over Rafael Alves on Saturday night in the preliminary card opener. The fighter faced a point deduction due to a biting incident. The deduction, however, didn’t have a major impact on the scorecards. Starting his career with a banger of performance, the ‘Tajik Eagle’ exhibited the skills to be a ranked fighter in the division. Moreover, he has set his eyes on the next prize, the self-proclaimed UFC cash cow, Paddy Pimblett.

Notably, the 23-year-old took to his Twitter handle as he announced his intentions to make headways in the division. Therefore, having a piece of ‘The Baddy’ might propel Aliev to the limelight. Further, he could make long strides in his MMA career if he picks up a win against the Liverpudlian.

Aliev issues a challenge to Paddy Pimblett

The 9-0 record holder tagged the UFC head honcho Dana White and the UFC matchmaker Sean Shelby to voice his ambition.

Thus, he wrote, “So how about Me and Paddy next ? Let’s go @ufc @seanshelby @danawhite”

Aliev earned his way into the UFC through Dana White’s Contender Series 2022. After exhibiting technical ruthlessness in the bout against Josh Wick, he rightly claimed his ticket to the world’s biggest MMA promotion.

Currently, Paddy Pimblett is on a 4-win streak in his stint with UFC.
