TalkSPORT pundit Blake Harrison believes that Paddy Pimblett is the only opponent Conor McGregor could defeat upon his potential return to the UFC. Harrison argues that McGregor's current mindset and physical condition are not ideal for facing top 15 lightweight contenders. He suggests that a fight against Pimblett, who is undefeated and has gained immense popularity, would be a compelling matchup for both fighters.
Blake Harrison believes Paddy Pimblett is the only UFC lightweight who Conor McGregor 'could' beat on his MMA return.The defeat marked McGregor' s second to Poirier in the same year, after he was stopped by the American at UFC 257 six months prior.He made his UFC debut in 2021 and quickly became one of the promotion’s biggest stars due to his larger than life character and unique personality.
"I do think that a big fight you could make that he could win, but probably wouldn't. But it would be huge. It'sAlex Ritchings, host of talkSPORT's new MMA show, didn't agree with Harrison in terms of the matchup."When you hear it, you're like, that's crazy. But then if the UFC actually booked it, it's not actually that crazy.
"And for Conor, it's like, well, who else? We've just talked ourselves out of like 20 opponents for Conor."
