Paddy Pimblett speaks exclusively to the ECHO about UFC 304, his hopes of challenging for the lightweight title, and giving back to the city of Liverpool
Paddy Pimblett pauses for a couple of seconds and allows the quiet to take over. It is the only time he has been truly silent during a lengthy chat with the ECHO at his Next Generation Gym in Liverpool's Fabric District. It is nearly three months since he defeated American Bobby Green by submission at UFC 304 to extend his record in the company to 6-0-0 and underline his status as one of the exciting fighters in the promotion.
'People are saying I’m only two fights away from a title shot; beat him and then someone like Charles Oliveira, and I am next in line for a title shot,' he adds. 'I hope to be fighting for the belt in 2026. 'It is the hardest division in the UFC. No division compares to it; no division has the depth that lightweight has; anyone in the top 15 could fight for the title and have a competitive fight with the title holder.
