Paddy Pimblett recently weighed in and shared his reaction to Alexa Grasso vs. Natalia Silva at UFC 315 and was critical of the former women's flyweight champion. He noted that Silva did an excellent job with her striking and secured a dominant win over Grasso, who couldn't find an answer to her offense.
Grasso and Silva competed in a bout that had major implications for the women's flyweight title picture. The former champion was competing for the first time since losing her title to Valentina Shevchenko last September, while the Brazilian was looking to continue her surge up the rankings and into title contention at her expense.
In a recent video uploaded to his YouTube channel, Pimblett shared his reactions to UFC 315 and his immediate thoughts on Grasso and Silva's respective performances. 'The Baddy' praised the Brazilian and mentioned that the former flyweight champion didn't look prepared and believes it was apparent in her performance:

"Lad, them kicks are fast there from Silva. Very fast, she went leg kick, head kick in a split second. This Silva's quick, she's got some speed... She's always moving something to make you think that she can throw at any time... She's like a matador with a bull... Moving around, not letting Grasso get near her... Surely Silva's won this fight. Grasso looked like a deer caught in the headlights there. She just didn't know what to do."
