Paddy Pimblett is coming off a TKO victory over Michael Chandler at UFC 314. Recently, Pimblett shared a message on his social media that draws similarities between him and Conor McGregor.
McGregor's rise in the UFC has been inspirational to many. Early in his career, he often predicted his future, envisioning himself as a global superstar. Through impressive performances inside the Octagon, 'The Notorious' achieved the status he had always dreamed of.
Similarly, a few years ago, in an episode of The Leg It podcast, Pimblett outlined his future goals and expressed confidence in his ability to achieve them.
"I want to make enough money. I know I'm gonna make millions of pounds. I want to make enough money fighting so that, in years to come, I'll go where I want, when I want... I can't wait that I know in 10 years time,... I've got millions in the bank, and I've been a champion."

Paddy Pimblett is ready to fight Conor McGregor
Since UFC 264, Conor McGregor hasn't entered the UFC octagon for a fight. Nevertheless, even though he is absent, McGregor actively participates in discussions for buzzing matchups. Most recently, he bet on Michael Chandler to win against Paddy Pimblett.
After 'The Baddy' defeated Chandler, he responded to the former UFC double champion's wager on their fight and stated:
"But as I say, anyone can get it. All the names I mentioned. And even McGregor, putting money on Chandler to win, lad. The Irish-Scouse connection, lad, he's meant to back me. And he never [did]. So if he wants it, he'll get it as well."
