If Paddy Pimblett is anything after UFC 314, it’s that he’s a star. The Scouser can talk a good game, and back it up with his incredible fighting skills. His whole demeanor throughout fight week, all the way to the moment he finished Michael Chandler via TKO—chef’s kiss. And it didn’t end there, because ‘The Baddy’ practically name-dropped all the lightweights in the top five, including the “little posh boy” Arman Tsarukyan, who he then dismissed as “a little helmet” and a “sausage.” Of course, UFC commentator Joe Rogan loved it all and couldn’t hold back on his excitement with the Scouser.
But that wasn’t all. The Liverpool native then went on to call out all his haters, repeatedly referring to them as a “gang of mushrooms”—a food that he hates. It was a riot from start to finish, true to what we’ve come to expect from ‘The Baddy’.
During the cage-side conversation between Joe Rogan and Daniel Cormier, Jon Anik chimed in to ask his fellow commentators about Paddy Pimblett’s phenomenal performance, “Because man, I mean if you think he muted some naysayers against King Green look what he did tonight.” Responding to Anik, Joe Rogan highlighted that he loves Pimblett because of his funny accent and his gold-worthy post-fight interviews, ”
“I love his post-fight speeches too. He just shuts all the haters down. He gives them more fuel. Well, you go say no. He’s so fun. He’s so fun. He had people… Lopez was doing it when he was coming out. It’s so addictive. What is that? It’s like the Trump dance. It’s his version of the Trump dance,” said Rogan.

Well, that’s not all. Daniel Cormier was utterly confused after Paddy Pimblett referred to his opponent and haters as ‘helmets.’ As Cormier scratched his head, Joe Rogan came to his rescue and translated the heavy Scouse slang for ‘DC.’ “It means the head of your, you know,” Rogan gestured. “They call it a bell end, it’s a helmet, you get it?” he continued, which left Cormier in hysterics.
Hailing from Liverpool, England, ‘The Baddy’ speaks with a strong Scouse accent—largely influenced by Irish and Welsh ancestry, characterized by its rapid pace. In the world of UFC, where uniqueness thrives, Pimblet’s heavy accent has become a signature of his persona, often adding a layer of authenticity and humor to his interviews and interactions. With his victory against Michael Chandler, Pimblett has cemented his status as the next big thing. So, what’s next for the fighter? Well, Cormier might have something for him.
Daniel Cormier foresees Lightweight belt for Paddy Pimblett
The lightweight division rankings are out, and it’s nothing but bad news for Michael Chandler, who has slipped down to the #12 spot. However, the party has just begun for Paddy Pimblett, as he has jumped four spots to reach #8. Interestingly, former dual weight champion, Daniel Cormier, in his statement, has come forward to assert that the UFC should book Paddy Pimblett for a title fight, provided Islam Makhachev jumps up a division.
“Time is your friend with Paddy Pimblett because if Belal Muhammad does not get the job done, Islam says he’s going up. The moment Islam’s gone, put him in the title fight. Whoever he’s fighting, put him in the title fight”, DC said. The current lightweight king has been looking to conquer his second belt; however, with Belal Muhammad at the helm, it’s not possible since Makhachev is not keen on fitting Muhammad as they are friends.
So, it must be noted that the fate of the lightweight division looms on the UFC 315 fight between Jack Della Maddalena and Belal Muhammad. If the Aussie fighter wins the belt, then it is certain that Makhachev will move up the division to clash against him, and if Muhammad wins, then we might witness a fight between the Dagestani and Ilia Topuria. Given that, what are your thoughts on the hubbub? State your opinions in the comments below.
