Ask and you shall receive. Paddy Pimblett called out Renato Moicano and now heâs got a response.
The English star requested the winner of âMoneyâ Moicano and Benoit Saint-Denis, which is set to headline the UFCâs return to Paris on Sept. 28, following his quick submission win over King Green this past Saturday at UFC 304. Although he called for the winner, he said heâd preferably like to face Moicano.
âLet me tell you something, Paddy Pimblett: If you want the smoke, my brother, be prepared, because Iâm going to f*ck you up â 100 percent,â Moicano said on the âShow Me the Moneyâ podcast. âBut I have to take my hat off: huge performance. I donât want to be a hater and say, âOh, he donât deserve.â No, you know what? Motherf*cker deserves to be in the top 15. Thatâs the truth.â
Apart from the callout, Pimblett (22-3 MMA, 6-0 UFC) also suggested that him and Moicano (19-5-1 MMA, 11-5 UFC) be opposing coaches for the next season of âThe Ultimate Fighter.â Moicano is all in on the idea, but thinks some extra editing will have to be done if it comes to fruition.
âRespect to him because he not only called me out, but he said we need to do âThe Ultimate Fighter,â and I agree with that,â Moicano said. âItâs going to be the first âUltimate Fighterâ with subtitles, my brother, because I cannot understand this motherf*cker. Maybe his English is worse than mine.â
Moicano also revealed heâs entering the fight against Saint-Denis on the final bout of his current UFC contract. Heâd like to stay with the UFC and get a bigger bag.
âLet me talk serious about that, Paddy Pimblett: Iâm planning on beating Benoit Saint-Denis in France, and then we talk business,â Moicano said. âLet me tell you something, UFC. Let me tell you something: Show me the money and letâs do it.â
