There's always a moment when you realize you're witnessing the birth of something special and in MMA we had that with Conor McGregor and now Paddy Pimblett out of Liverpool.
He's got that disarming haircut and look but boy does he pack a punch. With a 17-3 record, I dfeinitely think he's going to be one to look out for. Will he be as good as Khabib? I doubt it but then again, few are.
In terms of striking ability and general ground game, he's really good. But for the spectator like myself, he is really exciting to watch. The take downs and those flying knees.
At the end of the day, sport is about entertainment as much as it is winning. Paddy The Baddy Pimblett is someone who is doing it on both counts. He's the next Conor without a lot of the psychological baggage in my opinion. Hopefully he doesn't follow his path although in general, he's a lot more positive.
