the_mole Posted February 26, 2018 Posted February 26, 2018 The fights were pretty good and McCann probably could get in the top 15 at WFLW but Paddy Pimblett has zero chance, despite him being a good fighter he would be smaller and less skilled than at least 25 fighters at LW in the UFC.
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted February 26, 2018 Paid Members Posted February 26, 2018 I could see him dropping to featherweight if he signs with the UFC. A few fighters have dropped a division when they've signed but I can't recall specific examples off the top of my head. He does look small for 155 to me, and that would be more of a factor against UFC level guys. I can't stand Pimblett myself. He's a good fighter and I can admit he's got a certain charisma, heel charisma to me, but I just can't take to him. I'd like to see him in the UFC and I think he will be sooner or later, but he's a guy I know I'm always going to be rooting against. Just has the air of a proper twat.
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted February 26, 2018 Paid Members Posted February 26, 2018 yeah Pimblett said he had unfinished business at 145. So the plan is probably to fight for the 155lb belt (which they hinted at several times during the show will be vacated), then get the ufc shout.l and drop back to 145lb.
the_mole Posted February 26, 2018 Posted February 26, 2018 Weren't they saying he had trouble weight cutting I missed most of his first round but I think I heard them say that, he did spew up a good while ago after a 3 round fight. I got sick of Till, McCann & Pimblett saying these are the best and loudest fans in the world, fair enough if someone neutral who has been to a lot of fights says it but not people from Liverpool.
Paid Members Supremo Posted February 26, 2018 Paid Members Posted February 26, 2018 I’m from Liverpool. Dublin fans are way louder. It’s not even close.

I probably mentioned this already, and I know the commentator has to be a hype man. After one of Pimblett's wins, he jumped into the crowd and the commentator came out with "And you thought The Beatles were popular in these parts, it's nothing compared to this". Yeah mate, fuck off and bring back those two bald blokes, the Daves or whatever they were called.
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted February 26, 2018 Paid Members Posted February 26, 2018 that's a ludicrous statement.

Should be a good one. Should be! Keen to see how Nathaiel Wood does. A UFC call must be coming soon if he can defend again. The size difference between him and Iovine looks significant.
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted March 26, 2018 Paid Members Posted March 26, 2018 Wood's KO on the weekend was pretty nasty, gotta think the UFC come calling for him.
