UFC veteran Matt Brown is not a bit impressed by rising UFC star Paddy Pimblett. Not by his last performance at UFC 282, or his general skills as a fighter.
On the latest episode of The Fighter vs. The Writer, the 41-year-old did not hold back as he completely slammed the popular Liverpudlian.
“So many things in his game are so far behind that he almost has to go back to the drawing board and start from scratch, and go back to Cage Warriors and try again almost,” Brown said, and claimed that Pimblett would have a very hard time against any ranked opponent.
“Because he’s in the snake pit now — if they move him up.”
After the debated unanimous decision win, “The Baddy” claimed that he easily won the even fight against Jared Gordon.
That’s something that Matt Brown completely disagrees with.
“He’s a professional social media guy, his hobby is fighting,” Brown said. “What else would he say? He doesn’t have a real answer for it. Of course he’s going to go ahead and go with the narrative that he won. If he admits defeat, it makes him look worse. It makes us sit here and talk about it more. That’s all he really wants. He wants more clicks, he wants more views. He’s a social media professional. He’s an amateur fighter.”
