Paddy Pimblett believes YouTube giant Jake Paul’s boxing fights are rigged

Paddy Pimblett is all set to make his mark on the grand stage of a PPV card at UFC 282. Pimblett will share the co-main event duties with Jared Gordon and will be keen on making a mark on US soil with a statement-making performance.

In a recent interview on MOLA TV’s Pub Talks, Pimblett lambasted Jake Paul and claimed that his boxing fights are rigged. The undefeated YouTuber-turned-boxer scored the biggest victory of his career when he defeated Anderson Silva last month via unanimous decision.

Pimblett’s conclusion comes from a video that surfaced on the internet from an angle that shows that Paul barely landed the punch that dropped Silva in the final round. While ‘Baddy’ believes that Paul’s KO victory over Tyron Woodley in their rematch was legitimate, he still isn’t convinced about the authenticity of the new age of boxing fights.

“I give Jake Paul his due now he’s training that much he probably could beat some professional boxers,. Because he’s got that much money, he’s got unlimited funds and he hasn’t got to do anything else, he hasn’t got to go and do a job all he’s got to do is box. He gets the best coaches in, the best nutritionists in and stuff like that, Jake Paul is actually not that bad now, even though I think his fights are fixed. I don’t think the Tyron Woodley knockout was fixed.”

Furthermore, he added:

“When you get knocked out like that and you land face first, if you’re not unconscious you’d go out, you can’t help it that’s a human reaction. I seen an angle of a punch he hit Anderson Silva with the other day where he sat down and he didn’t even hit him.”

Conor McGregor comes out in defense of Paddy Pimblett amidst ongoing feud with AEW champion MJF

Paddy Pimblett and AEW champion MJF have engaged in an online exchange recently. UFC superstar Conor McGregor has now joined the exchange and sided with UK’s rising young prospect. It all started with an Instagram beef between MJF and rising UFC star Paddy Pimblett. It’s unclear what started the feud between these two, but it culminated in Pimblett challenging MJF to a mixed martial arts match. The professional wrestler shot back, challenging “The Baddy” to meet him at an upcoming AEW show in London.

Maxwell Jacob Friedman, a star of All-Elite Wrestling, called Pimblett a “dollar store version of the Irishman.” He shared the following on Instagram: “Unlike you I’m 100 per cent natural and I’m also 100 per cent original. Unlike you. You are a dollar store Conor McGregor that is talking. Will from Strangers Things [ Netflix series] looking a** and wouldn’t last two seconds in my world #Betterthanyou See you in London.”

Now McGregor has added his two cents to the debate: “A dollar store Conor is still worth millions! Let’s go young Paddy Pimb! Don’t know who this other clown is.”

McGregor’s experience on the big stage makes him a valuable accomplice of Pimblett’s, and he continues to be the UFC star who sells the most pay-per-views.
