Rising UFC star Paddy Pimblett wouldn’t mind rolling with Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg.
Much hoopla had been made over a potential fantasy matchup of the billionaires between Zuckerberg and Elon Musk. UFC CEO Dana White didn’t hesitate to throw his name in the hat for fight promotion, but Musk denied the fight would be made under his watch. Ultimately, Zuckerberg vs. Musk has not come to fruition, but that hasn’t stopped the Facebook founder from saying he still wants to compete.
Zuckerberg has participated in jiu-jitsu tournaments and has even won some. Recently, however, he suffered a torn ACL during sparring.
Paddy Pimblett Would Roll With Mark Zuckerberg
During an appearance on “Happy Endings,” Paddy Pimblett said he’d actually be wiling train with Mark Zuckerberg despite once calling him a “lizard.”
“I would, you know what I mean? I called him a lizard, but I’ve got me Instagram back now,” Pimblett said. “If he ever wants to do some jiu-jitsu he can get on me.”
Paddy Has 2 UFC Enemies
Pimblett then recalled an incident with UFC featherweight title contender Ilia Topuria back in 2022. Paddy threw a hand sanitizer bottle at Topuria during the confrontation. When asked who he dislikes in the UFC, Ilia was Paddy’s first choice.
“Probably hand sanitizer boy, he’s a sausage,” Pimblett said. “I threw a hand sanitizer bottle at him, and he tried to like throw a slap at me, lad when I was on me own and he was with about 12 of his mates.”
Terrance McKinney is the other answer.
“Whatever his name is, anyway, that mushroom doesn’t stop talking about me, lad,” Pimblett said. … Every interview he does he talks about me.”
Pimblett slammed McKinney over an exchange he had on social media with popular internet figure KSI.
“Someone showed me something the other week,” Pimblett said. “He had the back and forth on Twitter with KSI and he tried to say something to KSI, ‘Shut up, like, no one knows who you are,’ and show KSI his interactions and screenshots his interactions from like the last week or a month. KSI just screenshots his and puts, ‘What the f*ck are you talking about,’ and it was like a million times the amount he had. Made himself look like a f*cking idiot.”
