With Tom Aspinall flying blind, UFC desperately pushing ‘little’ Paddy Pimblett to ‘bring love back to UK’

UFC is hoping to bring some love back to United Kingdom.

“I think they’re trying to do anything they can to put little Paddy into a title situation,” Rockhold told Submission Radio. “I’m annoyed with fighters that think that the interim title means anything. You see guys like Justin Gaethje, and he knows it. None of that sh*t really means much to him because he wants to be a real champion, but then you’ve got Paddy, who’s already talking about, ‘I’m going to be champion,’ this, that. It’s already there. That belt means something to him. Come on.”

“They’re doing anything they can to get Paddy the best matchups to be a champion and bring that love back to the UK,” Rockhold added. “I don’t know, it’s not my favorite. Arman’s a beast. Look what he’s doing in grappling right now and how he’s just destroying these guys. It’s not easy and how he translates it to fighting, he’s a problem for everybody.”
